Where it ranks in wp.org search

Main keywords, best position first

Tags still to break into the top 24: login with wordpress.

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Swap “login with wordpress” and “sso” for “saml” and “provider”

    “login with wordpress” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “saml” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sso” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “provider” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

  2. 2

    One page off on “sso”

    #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

  3. 3

    Readme fails 4 of 8 AI readiness checks

    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.

Readme fails 4 of 8 AI readiness checks

Needs work

AI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does, has a faq, faq asks real questions and names who it is for. 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.
