Swap “exit intent” for “new tab”
“exit intent” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “new tab” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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 85/100 on health yet sits at 200 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.
Small download base. 244 downloads in 30 days, so a +17% move is a few installs rather than a trend.
Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
Actively maintained. Updated within the last quarter, a strong trust and ranking signal.
No open vulnerabilities recorded. No unpatched security advisory is recorded against this plugin.
Readme is easy for AI assistants to quote. All 8 readiness checks pass: a plain summary, a real FAQ, named audiences and integrations, quotable structure. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania. Run the free AI visibility scan →
