Biggest opportunity: “chat”, “livechat” and “marketing” 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| chat your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| conversational marketing your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| livechat your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| marketing your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

An interesting live chat system, which comes with a lot of features that can help us interact with visitors on our website. The fact that you can see what visitors are watching before writing a specific message is very handy. For now we are using the free-tier, 300 chats/months seem more than enough for our needs at the moment.
