What to fix first
- 1
Ship an update
Last release was 394 days ago. wp.org lowers a listing's search weight once it goes about 180 days without a release.
- 2
Swap “woocommerce composite products” for “product configurator”
“woocommerce composite products” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “product configurator” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- 3
One page off on “woocommerce product configurator”
#16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
