Biggest opportunity: “floating button”, “floating contact” and “floating sidebar” 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.

The Floating Contact Sidebar plugin is a fantastic addition to my site, making contact options easily accessible without disrupting the design. It keeps my phone, email, and social media links in a neat, floating sidebar that stays visible as users scroll, improving the overall user experience. The setup was simple, customization options were great for matching my brand, and I didn’t experience any issues. It’s a lightweight, efficient plugin that adds real value without slowing down my site. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance contact accessibility on their WordPress site!
