What to fix first
- 1
Swap “city”, “country” and “forms” for “ward”, “auto populate” and “cascading”
“city” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ward” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “country” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “auto populate” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “forms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cascading” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

What we found
Readme fails 5 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, names who it is for and enough to quote. 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.
