Biggest opportunity: “ai”, “analytics” and “buttons” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 922 lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median AI plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,013 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ai your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| analytics your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| buttons your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cta your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| elementor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Sticky buttons would be great to have among other things but it’s great for a start and I can definitely see this become super powerful in the future. Should buy it early as I’m sure the price won’t stay the same in the future.

Plinkly Smart CTA Buttons is an amazing plugin that makes adding call-to-action buttons to your WordPress site a breeze. The interface is simple and user-friendly, with plenty of customization options to match my site’s design. The buttons are responsive and look great on both desktop and mobile devices. It’s a must-have for improving conversions. Highly recommended!

The abundance of plugins in the WordPress repository has become tiresome — everyone seems to be copying successful plugins without bringing anything truly new. However, it seems that Plinkly is trying to offer something innovative. If this plugin continues in the same direction, I believe it could become one of the essential tools for any marketing or affiliate marketing website.
