Money Nose

Description

Money Nose finds what is stopping your website from bringing in enquiries and sales, ranks the fixes by how much money they could make you, and makes the ones you approve. You stay in charge: nothing changes without your OK, and you can undo a change as long as the page hasn’t been edited since.

Money Nose reads your website and Google data, finds what is holding your website back, and ranks what to do next by impact. With this plugin, Money Nose can also make the changes you approve in Money Nose. It never changes your website on its own.

What it can change, only after you approve each change:

  • SEO titles and meta descriptions (in Yoast SEO or Rank Math when you use them)
  • Alt text for images in your posts and pages
  • One sentence with an internal link, added to the end of an existing paragraph
  • Broken internal links, pointed at the right page or removed (the words stay)
  • A page headline, or a short piece of button or link text
  • A page Money Nose wrote for you, saved as a draft. It is published only when you approve it in Money Nose, and can be taken back to draft.

It never deletes content and never changes prices, products, legal pages, plugins, themes, users or settings. It saves the old value before every change, and every change is logged. You can undo a change from Changes in Money Nose, as long as the page hasn’t been edited since.

Once connected, it also counts visits on your server, so visitors who block scripts are counted too. Only daily totals per page are kept, for two weeks. It never stores an IP address, a cookie or anything about a person. Logged-in editors, bots, previews and IP ranges you exclude are left out.

With WooCommerce, it also sends daily sales totals, so Money Nose can use your real sales. It never sends customer names, emails, phone numbers or addresses.

You need a Money Nose account to use this plugin. The plugin does nothing until you connect it.

External services

This plugin connects your site to Money Nose, at moneynose.com, a service run by Money Nose. Nothing is sent when you install or activate the plugin. Data is sent only after you paste your connection code from Money Nose and press Connect.

What is sent, and when:

  • When you press Connect: your site address, its REST API address, your WordPress and plugin versions, and which SEO plugin you use (Yoast SEO, Rank Math or none). This lets Money Nose check the connection.
  • Every hour, once connected: daily visit and page view totals per page path, for today and yesterday. No IP addresses, cookies or details about any visitor.
  • Every hour, once connected and only if WooCommerce is active: daily sales totals. These are paid orders and orders on hold, revenue after discounts and refunds (excluding tax and shipping), the products sold, whether a coupon was used, WooCommerce’s record of where each order’s visitor first came from, and each paid order’s number and payment reference. No customer names, emails, phone numbers or addresses are sent. Anything that looks like an email, phone number or long number is removed from product names, sources and page paths first.
  • When you approve a change in Money Nose: Money Nose sends a signed request to this plugin, which reads the page concerned and makes only that change. The old value is saved so you can undo it.

Every request between your site and Money Nose is signed with your site’s own secret and is refused after five minutes.

FAQ

Does Money Nose change my website on its own?

No. It only makes a change after you approve that change in Money Nose. Every change is logged, and you can undo it while the page is unchanged.

What does the plugin send to Money Nose?

Nothing until you connect it. After that, see External services above: daily visit totals per page, daily WooCommerce sales totals if you use WooCommerce, and the result of each change you approve. Never anything about a person.

Does it work with Yoast SEO or Rank Math?

Yes. When either is active, SEO titles and meta descriptions are saved in that plugin’s own fields. Without one, this plugin adds the title and description to your pages itself.

Can it publish pages?

Only a page Money Nose wrote for you, and only after you approve it in Money Nose. Until then it stays a draft.

What happens if I remove the plugin?

Deleting it removes the connection and its secret. Changes already made stay on your site, as normal WordPress content.

Changelog

1.3.3

  • Fixing a broken link changes only that link. When no working page matches, the link is removed and its words kept, even if the same words appear elsewhere on the page, and Undo puts that one link back.

1.3.2

  • Every request value the visit counter reads is unslashed and sanitised first. Visits are counted exactly as before, and nothing about a person is stored.

1.3.1

  • Database queries name the visit counts table through a prepared placeholder. No change to what the plugin does.

1.3.0

  • With WooCommerce, sends daily sales totals to Money Nose so it can use your real sales. It never sends customer names, emails, phone numbers or addresses. The first import covers 60 days; after that the last 14 days are read again each hour, plus any older day (up to 60 days back) with an order changed in those 14 days, such as a late refund.

1.2.0

  • Counts visits on the server, so visitors who block scripts are counted too. Only daily totals per page are kept and sent to Money Nose: never an IP address, cookie or anything about a person. Logged-in editors, bots, previews and your excluded IP ranges are left out.

1.1.0

  • Apply a winning headline or button text, with undo while the page is unchanged.
  • Save pages Money Nose writes as drafts; publish only on your approval; take them back to draft.
