What we found
Rating below category benchmark
Needs workYour rating, weighted for review count, is 3.3★ and trails the Email & Marketing average of 3.8★.
What to do: Close the gap with targeted UX fixes and review recovery.
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 8 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 who it is for. Never says who the plugin is for or what they use it for.
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.
