Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai seo” and “claude bot” for “crawler detection” and “ai detector”. “ai seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “crawler detection” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “claude bot” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “ai detector” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →17%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 5.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,015 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “ai seo” and “claude bot” for “crawler detection” and “ai detector”. “ai seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “crawler detection” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “claude bot” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “ai detector” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “claude bot”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ scandidesignco6mo ago
I can’t believe this plugin doesn’t have more reviews. Its so helpful and has a beautiful UI. I actually discovered it from Claude when my site was getting attacked by bots. It’s hosted with Rocket.net and behind Cloudlflare Enterprise so I was surprised to see such a huge spike. It completely destroyed my analytics though and I needed a way to figure out which bots were causing the issue so I could get them blocked. On top of that I needed to figure out which bots were ok to let through but block them from my analytics. This plugin did both of those things for me so THANK YOU! Feature Request: on the main dashboard page, have a column in the table that show the status code they encounter when they hit the site. 😊 This topic was modified 2 months, 1 week ago by scandidesignco.
