Biggest opportunity: “featured image”, “images” and “media library” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| stock photography | #20 | #23 | 0 |
| featured image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| images your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| media library your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| photography your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| stock photos your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

I use this plugin on a news website and it helps a lot with finding quality featured images for articles. The workflow is simple, image preview is useful, and importing directly into the Media Library saves time during publishing.
