Biggest opportunity: “contact form”, “contact us” and “custom form” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 24.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,295 plugins.
