What we found
Likely abandoned
CriticalNo update in 52 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users avoid them.
What to do: Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.
Readme fails 3 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions and names what it works with. 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.
Run the free AI visibility scan →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.
Strong momentum. Downloads are accelerating (+37% vs prior month). Good moment to amplify.
