Where it ranks in wp.org search

Main keywords, best position first

Tags still to break into the top 24: active directory search, business directory, search widget.

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Swap “active directory search”, “business directory” and “search widget” for “ldap”, “active directory” and “staff”

    “active directory search” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ldap” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “business directory” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “active directory” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “search widget” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “staff” 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

3 opportunity 1 market context 2 strengths
↗

Review volume is thin

Opportunity

Only 15 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 90/100 on health yet sits at 10 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

Opportunity

AI 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.
