Biggest opportunity: “sms” and “woocommerce” 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

I recently started using the Beem SMS plugin for my WordPress & WooCommerce website and so far, I have been impressed with its ease of use and functionality. The two main features, new order notification and order status change, have been working well and have helped streamline my workflow. However, I would like to suggest the addition of more features to make the plugin even more useful for WooCommerce users. As a growing e-commerce platform, WooCommerce has a variety of needs and it would be great to see Beem SMS expand its capabilities to meet those needs. For example, some features that could be added include SMS notifications for low stock alerts, shipment tracking updates, and abandoned cart reminders. These additions would make Beem SMS a comprehensive and indispensable tool for WooCommerce stores. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience so far and would recommend Beem SMS to other WordPress & WooCommerce users. With a few more features, it could become a must-have for all e-commerce store owners.
