Biggest opportunity: Add “contact form 7 freshsales crm” and “freshsales crm” to your wp.org tags. You rank #18 and #22 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed these are the slots worth spending.
