Where it ranks in wp.org search
Not yet in the top 24 results for any search we track. The fixes below are what move it in.
Tags still to break into the top 24: additional tab, brand details, brand schema.
What to fix first
- 1
Ship an update
Last release was 470 days ago. wp.org lowers a listing's search weight once it goes about 180 days without a release.
- 2
“additional tab”, “brand details” and “brand schema” aren't earning a slot
You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

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.

What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 16 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.
What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.
Readme fails 4 of 8 AI readiness checks
Needs workAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: has a faq, faq asks real questions, names who it is for and tags match the text. Only 2 questions 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.

OpportunityNobody has rated this plugin, so there is no star average to show at install time and nothing for a health grade to rest on.
What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.
Small download base. 30 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.
No open vulnerabilities recorded. No unpatched security advisory is recorded against this plugin.
