Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form” for “download pdf”. “contact form” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “download pdf” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 20K of 2.1M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,296 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
