Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai”, “content” and “marketing” for “ai optimization”, “ai writing” and “ai blog”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ai optimization” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “content” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ai writing” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “marketing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ai blog” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →15%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 6.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,010 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other AI plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Larrian1.5y ago
Let me start by saying I am 75 and never had the opportunity to learn computer programming, so when a plugin doesn’t install easily or has so many settings I nod off before getting through the second page, I feel I am qualified to judge a plugin that “any elevator operator or granny” can understand. Koala ai is the best writer/image program ( and I have more than 20) and is the only one to get my “Granny Approved” seal of approval for ease of installation, activation, connection and content. The ability to have a plugin that lets you set a feature image upon import, bulk upload images, connect in one click your koala ai account all automatically..well….no time to nod off at all! With Koala ai writer already adding links to your website, creating chat magnets, in addition to superior polishing, now with this plugin, its a one stop shop for the best writer/plugin combo.
