Tags still to break into the top 24: hide cart button.
What to fix first
- 1
Swap “hide cart button” and “hide price” for “catalog mode” and “catalog”
“hide cart button” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “catalog mode” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hide price” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “catalog” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Slipping on “wholesale pricing”
Down 6 places since 2026-09-21, now #20. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- 3
One page off on “woocommerce catalog mode”
#13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Ask happy users for a review
A short in-plugin prompt after a success moment is the usual way. Reviews give the listing a rating people trust at install time.

What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 7 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.
What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 1 rating. 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 77/100 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.
Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: tags match the text. Only 2 of 5 tags appear in the text ("b2b ecommerce", "hide cart button", "wholesale pricing" missing).
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.
