Tags still to break into the top 24: the events calendar.
What to fix first
- 1
Swap “the events calendar” for “google calendar”
“the events calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “google calendar” 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
One page off on “all in one event calendar”
#12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

What we found
Readme fails 4 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, has a faq, faq asks real questions and headings and lists. Short description names no action; say what the plugin does for the site.
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.

OpportunityOnly 16 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.
Small download base. 395 downloads in 30 days, so a -10% move is a few installs rather than a trend.
Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
Actively maintained. Updated within the last quarter, a strong trust and ranking signal.
No open vulnerabilities recorded. No unpatched security advisory is recorded against this plugin.
