Biggest opportunity: Swap “gutenberg” and “openai” for “engine” and “inline editing”. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “engine” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “openai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “inline editing” sits at #24 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 →2.4%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 4.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,579 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “gutenberg” and “openai” for “engine” and “inline editing”. “gutenberg” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “engine” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “openai” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “inline editing” sits at #24 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 “ai engine”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “content generation”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “free ai engine”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
