Biggest opportunity: One page off on “kickstarter”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| kickstarter your tag | #12 | #16 | down 1 |
| crowdfunding your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| donation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “kickstarter”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “crowdfunding” and “donation” 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.
