What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 10 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: names who it is for, names what it works with, headings and lists and enough to quote. 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.

OpportunityOnly 9 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 75/100 on health yet sits at 1,000 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.
Strong momentum. Downloads are accelerating (+53% vs prior month). Good moment to amplify.
