Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai chatbot”, “customer support” and “live chat” for “chatbot widget”, “chatbot plugin” and “wordpress chatbot”. “ai chatbot” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “chatbot widget” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “customer support” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “chatbot plugin” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “live chat” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress chatbot” sits at #15 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 →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 5K 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 2 releases 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.

Brother could you improve the plugin to make it embedded in any page but not as a widget, but as a chat window, based by shortcode? Thanks!
