Biggest opportunity: Swap “alt text” for “focal”. “alt text” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “focal” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| focal point your tag | #24 | #23 | down 1 |
| focal | #23 | #24 | down 2 |
| alt text your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cdn your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image optimization your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| media library your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 2 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 ↗- ★★★★★ petermodest4mo ago
Necessary functionality with simple, low-cost AI integrations. Replaces several separate plugins in one lightweight install. Each of the three components (focal points, AI alt text and tags, and CDN delivery) works on its own or all together. Focal-point cropping runs with zero setup, and the bring-your-own-account model for both AI and CDN keeps costs down and avoids any reseller lock-in. Alt text and tagging came in at a few cents per hundred images in practice. Solid, well-scoped, and does exactly what it says.
