What we found
Downloads are cooling
Needs work30-day download momentum is -57% while the Media category median is 0%. The decline is steeper than the market, which points at something plugin-specific.
What to do: A coordinated content and outreach push can re-ignite installs.
Readme fails 1 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: tags match the text. Only 2 of 5 tags appear in the text ("google business", "review slider", "social proof" missing).
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.
