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.
Healthy but under-discovered
OpportunityThis plugin scores 79/100 on health yet sits at 100 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.
Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does. 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.
