Biggest opportunity: Add “job” and “jobs” to your wp.org tags. You rank #10 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 44K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,580 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.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ jeremy03.8y ago
This plug in was promising, went through all the steps to set it up, but google does not index the jobs in the job card. It indexes the /job-posts/ page, but not the individual job pages. This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by jeremy0.

UPDATE: The developer responded with a fix that is working properly. This plugin pushed our host I/O and memory use through the roof. Some of the buttons are in Japanese and there is no way to change that without modifying the code of the plugin. Zero support available from the developer.
