Where it ranks in wp.org search

Main keywords, best position first

Tags still to break into the top 24: credit card, google pay.

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Swap “credit card”, “google pay” and “apple pay” for “stripe payment gateway”, “alipay” and “stripe payment”

    “credit card” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “stripe payment gateway” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google pay” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “alipay” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “apple pay” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “stripe payment” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

↗

Healthy but under-discovered

Opportunity

This plugin scores 85/100 on health yet sits at 7,000 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 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.
