Where it ranks in wp.org search
Main keywords, best position first
- #11 travel agency Down 1
- #12 travel engine Down 1

Tags still to break into the top 24: tour booking, travel booking.
What to fix first
- 1
Ship an update
Last release was 714 days ago. wp.org lowers a listing's search weight once it goes about 180 days without a release.
- 2
Set "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.1
Tested up to WordPress 6.7.11; the current branch is 7.1. Matching the current branch keeps its full search weight.
- 3
Swap “tour booking” for “travel engine”
“tour booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “travel engine” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- 4
One page off on “travel agency”
#11 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 24 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 2 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.
Small download base. 673 downloads in 30 days, so a +31% 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.
Readme is easy for AI assistants to quote. All 8 readiness checks pass: a plain summary, a real FAQ, named audiences and integrations, quotable structure. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania. Run the free AI visibility scan →
