Biggest opportunity: “publishing” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 11.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| byline | #17 | #24 | down 1 |
| publishing your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

Release cadence

Unless you’re loaded with money, Kapost isn’t meant for you. The content marketing platform sure have too many bells & whistles, but it doesn’t cuts it for small to medium content teams. Even for teams with a large freelancers base, it’s time consuming & complicated to train new contributors with Kapost. It’s out and out an enterprise product, so for companies that can’t afford it, I suggest you look at a less expense alternative like [ link deleted, please do not post links in reviews ] I have been researching other solutions and I have to say that the folks at Betaout have built a great tool. It’s a complete solution for those who are struggling with task management and lengthy editorial workflows. I also liked their fully blown editorial calendar which offers 3 different views as per the status of your assignments. The Idearoom at ContentCloud too is a very interesting interface to brainstorm with your team of writers. Simple & intuitive interface gets the work done quickly, cuts down your administrative tasks involved throughout the content creation process & doesn’t requires training. And the good part is, it costs way less.
