Biggest opportunity: Add “tooltip” and “tooltip plugin” to your wp.org tags. You rank #10 and #10 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 600 of 19.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,673 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

First of all, this is a nice plugin and does a splendid job with the tooltips! Styling options are also sufficient for me, so with regard to the provided functionality this would be a 5* plugin. Not so small itch though: I really dislike the admin menu integration. It creates a new top level entry, title wrapping over three lines, unnecessarily adding to the complexity of the admin menu. Considering this plugin is dependent of Contact Form 7, IMHO it shouldn’t be visible on top level at all. Just make it a submenu under the main CF7 node. A good example of that is how Conditional Fields or Honeypot for CF7 do it.
