Where it ranks in wp.org search

Main keywords, best position first

Tags still to break into the top 24: free images.

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Swap “free images”, “stock images” and “free photos” for “royalty free”, “photos” and “stock”

    “free images” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “royalty free” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stock images” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “photos” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “free photos” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “stock” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

  2. 2

    One page off on “free photos”

    #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Readme fails 5 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for, headings and lists and tags match the text. No FAQ section.

What to do: Rewrite the readme so each failed check passes: say the job in the first line, answer real questions in the FAQ, name who it is for and what it works with, and use headings and lists. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania.

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 18 ratings. A handful of reviews makes your star average fragile and weakens trust at install time.

What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.

↗

Healthy but under-discovered

Opportunity

This plugin scores 83/100 on health yet sits at 200 installs. The product is good; distribution is the gap.

What to do: A WP Mayor review and placement can put it in front of the right audience.
