Biggest opportunity: Swap “sms notification”, “twilio” and “twilio wordpress plugin” for “otp verification”, “sms otp” and “verification”. “sms notification” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “otp verification” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “twilio” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sms otp” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “twilio wordpress plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “verification” sits at #23 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 →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 41.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,782 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

What to do about it
- Swap “sms notification”, “twilio” and “twilio wordpress plugin” for “otp verification”, “sms otp” and “verification”. “sms notification” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “otp verification” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “twilio” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “sms otp” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “twilio wordpress plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “verification” sits at #23 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 “twilio wordpress plugin”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles19 of the last 24 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

With the help of the amazing Support Team, I was able to successfully add the Orion SMS OTP Verification plugin to my form. It worked perfectly. The Support Team was fantastic and knew exactly how to address my questions. The plugin works exactly as described, and the plugin can be added to almost any form with its very well-designed configuration screen. A VERY well-done plugin and amazing Support Team.
