Biggest opportunity: Swap “ai” for “decay”. “ai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “decay” sits at #5 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.

Great tool for refreshing older WordPress content, it helps quickly identify posts that need updating. Simple to use and very useful for anyone who cares about SEO and content quality.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ bebinhio7mo ago
A great plugin! It automatically selects posts that haven’t been touched in a while and optimizes the content. It also adds new text blocks that match the post’s topic. Email notifications and the need to approve changes are a huge plus; I still have control over the process. Several token packages to choose from are much cheaper than hiring help to update the content. I recommend it!
