Readme fails 3 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions and names who it is for. Only 1 question in the FAQ; 3 or more gives an assistant something to match.

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.

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 20 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

Opportunity

This plugin scores 87/100 on health yet sits at 10,000 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.
