What to fix first
- 1
Patch and release an advisory before anything else.
Open security vulnerability. A known unpatched vulnerability is recorded against this plugin.
- 2
Swap “appointment booking”, “buddyboss” and “stripe” for “base”, “hourly” and “appointments”
“appointment booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “base” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “buddyboss” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hourly” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stripe” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “appointments” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Healthy but under-discovered
OpportunityThis plugin scores 82/100 on health yet sits at 100 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 2 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: says what it does and names who it is for. Short description names no action; say what the plugin does for the site.
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.
