Swap “advertising” for “interstitial”
“advertising” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “interstitial” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

What we found
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 3 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.
Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names what it works with. Names no plugin, service or platform it works with.
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.
