Tags still to break into the top 24: content marketing.
What to fix first
- 1
Swap “content marketing” and “mailchimp” for “rss feed” and “hubspot”
“content marketing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rss feed” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “mailchimp” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “hubspot” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- 2
#14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Readme fails 2 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: faq asks real questions and headings and lists. 8 of 15 FAQ entries are headings, not questions ("SUPPORT").
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.
