“ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ecom” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

What we found
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 4 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.
Healthy but under-discovered
OpportunityThis plugin scores 86/100 on health yet sits at 10 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: 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.

Light support activity. Few recent support threads, so there is no backlog to report.
Actively maintained. Updated within the last quarter, a strong trust and ranking signal.
No open vulnerabilities recorded. No unpatched security advisory is recorded against this plugin.
