What to fix first

Ship an update
Last release was 435 days ago. wp.org lowers a listing's search weight once it goes about 180 days without a release.

“chatgpt” and “wordpress ai agent” 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.

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 15 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 tags match the text. One audience phrase ("whether you are"); say who the plugin is for and 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.
Run the free AI visibility scan →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. 332 downloads in 30 days, so a -28% 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.
