# WP.org Readme Draft — broad search wording (Maya assignment, 2026-10-26)

Status: DRAFT for the next ET release (version number: Saso decides).
Apply to `readme.txt` (and mirror the tags into the WP.org SVN readme) at release time.
Goal: 10k free installs — broader search surface vs. competitor "event-tickets" (90k).

## 1. Tags line (readme.txt `Tags:`) — 12 tags

```
Tags: event tickets, tickets, events, event booking, ticket scanner, qr code, seating plan, woocommerce tickets, box office, congress, membership, pos
```

Note: WP.org shows the first ~5 tags on the plugin page; all 12 are indexed for search.

## 2. First description paragraph (top of `== Description ==`)

```
Sell event tickets on your own WordPress site — event booking with WooCommerce, PDF tickets with QR codes, seating plans, a built-in POS for door sales (box office) and a mobile ticket scanner. No per-ticket service fees. Free version up to 50 tickets.
```

Keep this paragraph FIRST, before any feature list, so search snippets lead with it.

## Rules (from Saso via Maya)

- Changelog + readme changes only in the dev repo (never in SVN directly).
- Version number is named by Saso — do not bump.
- Release timing: planned for the next ET release (3.2.9 is currently open as a
  security + offline-scanner release; fold this in when Saso ships it).
