Biggest opportunity: Swap “block” for “nest”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “nest” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 21.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| superlist your tag | #1 | #2 | 0 |
| nest | #10 | #13 | down 1 |
| nesting your tag | #13 | #12 | down 1 |
| unordered list | #8 | #16 | 0 |
| ordered list | #23 | #22 | down 2 |
| block your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| list your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “block” for “nest”. “block” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “nest” sits at #10 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 “nesting”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This essential plugin lets you create complex list items! It’s perfect for groups that are semantically a list, but are more complex than bulleted text. For example, a list where each list item includes an icon, headline, and paragraph.

Realmente un plugin muy útil y necesario.

On my blog I have two sections for which I needed an expandable list, but at the same time flexible enough to display different content, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, buttons, etc. With this plugin, I can now easily create a new list item and can focus on adding new content instead of wondering which blocks I should set in which way to make it work. Really a great plugin, thanks!

Was looking for a list solution for a new client and just happened to stumble on this gem. Crazy how straightforward and simple it is, yet packs a punch with everything you can do with it. My current theme didn’t display the Dimensions option in the Inspector Panel, so I reached out to Aurooba. She responded quickly and provided a solution until my theme supports WP 5.9 spacing. High fives for this awesome plugin and the developer’s support!

Since the block editor was released, I’ve been struggling to add more than one block to a list item. By default, you can’t nest blocks within a list item in the editor. Example: within a list item, you want a paragraph and an image. Or a paragraph and video. Which is the use case for a weekly roundup post I’ve published for over 10 years: list items that contain multiple pieces of content, including quotes, paragraphs, video, imagery. You could use a Custom HTML block, but I found the interface clumsy and frustrating to use. And time-consuming. Super List Block solves the issue of nesting blocks within a list item. It allows me to quickly add whatever content I want to a specific list item. The styling options for type of list, alignment, color, and orientation provide me the customizations I need for my list. Excellent plugin!

Found it on //wpletter.de/archive/324/ — Thank you, Simon! I dare to predict that this block will be included in the WP standard blocks in the near future. Best wishes from Vienna to Calgary
