Biggest opportunity: “internal links”, “link building” and “link management” 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| internal links your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| link building your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| link management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| seo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Walter Viana9mo ago
This plugin is exactly what I’ve been looking for for a long time. It gives you a real overview of all your posts and allows for greater clarity when creating an internal linking strategy for your website. It runs perfectly on the dashboard without impacting the speed of the website and allows you to create a solid strategy and introduce cards with images from your posts as if they were widgets within the post content in an elegant and discreet way with a professional look. Best of all, you learn many techniques with this plugin. Everything I’ve been looking for about internal linking strategy for years, I found in this powerful tool. I recommend it for amateurs and professionals alike. You’ll love it! I didn’t hesitate and bought the pro version today, and I’m loving it.
