## Description

Maxooh is a paid service for small local businesses: it writes the pages a
 plumber,
an electrician or a florist needs to be found in their own town, keeps their Google
Business Profile in order, and reports on what it brings in.

This plugin is the bridge for people who already have a WordPress site. Instead

of moving to a Maxooh-hosted site, the content Maxooh produces lands in the site
they already own, in their own theme, as ordinary WordPress pages and posts.

**What it does**

 * Connects the site to a Maxooh account with a single 8-character code. No
    application
   password to create, no credentials to copy between two screens. If an administrator
   has already approved Maxooh with an application password, Maxooh can install 
   and connect the plugin itself (see the FAQ).
 * Creates and updates pages sent by Maxooh: local landing pages, question and
    
   answer pages, blog posts. They are native WordPress pages, built from core blocks
   only, so the site’s theme applies to them without any styling of ours.
 * Writes the SEO title, meta description, canonical URL and robots directives
    
   into the SEO plugin already installed on the site (Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress
   are detected automatically). If no SEO plugin is present, the plugin outputs 
   those tags itself, on its own pages only.
 * Adds JSON-LD structured data to its own pages, and only when no other plugin
   
   is already publishing the same type on that page.
 * Provides a quote request form (block and `[maxooh_devis]` shortcode) whose
    requests
   reach your Maxooh inbox, or your e-mail if Maxooh is unreachable.
 * Optionally counts visits to the pages Maxooh created, for your Maxooh
    dashboard.
   This is off by default: only an administrator can turn it on.
 * Shows a status screen in the WordPress admin: what is connected, which pages
   
   are managed, which of them were edited by hand, what failed and why.

**What it never does**

 * It never touches a page Maxooh did not create. A post without Maxooh’s own
    identifier
   is left alone, unless Maxooh proves it published that exact page itself before
   the plugin was installed (see the FAQ).
 * It never deletes anything. A removal request turns the page into a draft.
 * It never overwrites your own edits. If you change a Maxooh page in the
    WordPress
   editor, the plugin notices and stops updating it. You can also lock a page from
   the admin screen.
 * It does not change your theme, your design, your existing pages, or your
    home
   page.

**What it is not**

Not a page builder, not an SEO analysis plugin, not a standalone tool. Without
 
a Maxooh account it does nothing at all. It does not support WooCommerce, multisite
or multilingual setups.

### External services

This plugin connects your site to **Maxooh**, an external service operated at
 maxooh.
com. The plugin cannot work without it: Maxooh is where the content is written and
where the reporting lives.

Nothing is sent anywhere until the site is paired with a Maxooh account: either

you type a pairing code on the plugin’s admin screen, or Maxooh submits that code
for you, which it can only do with the application password an administrator approved
for it (see the FAQ). Pairing is what grants consent to the exchanges below, with
two exceptions. Visit counting (4) needs a second, separate consent: it is off by
default and starts only if an administrator ticks its box on the same screen. Quote
requests (5) are sent only when a visitor submits the form. Disconnecting from the
admin screen stops every exchange described below and turns visit counting back 
off. Below is every call the plugin makes, without exception.

All calls go to `https://maxooh.com` (this can be overridden by the site
 owner 
with the `MAXOOH_APP_URL` constant, for staging environments).

**1. Pairing: once, when you enter your code (or when Maxooh submits it for
 you)


Sent to `POST https://maxooh.com/api/wp/pair`: the pairing code, a random token 
generated on your site, your site URL and home URL, the plugin version, your WordPress
version, your PHP version, and a technical diagnostic (whether the site is served
over HTTPS, the permalink structure, the name of the active theme and whether it
is a block theme, which SEO plugin is installed and whether its fields can be written,
whether an administrator or editor account exists to publish under, whether scheduled
tasks run, the number of pages Maxooh manages, the date of the last synchronisation,
and whether visit counting is turned on). Why: to attach this site to your Maxooh
account and to tell you, before anything is published, whether the site can actually
receive content.

**2. Status report: right after pairing, then hourly**
 Sent to `POST https://maxooh.
com/api/wp/heartbeat`: the same technical diagnostic, plus the number of pages you
have edited by hand. Why: so your Maxooh dashboard can show whether the site is 
reachable, and so the plugin learns whether content is waiting for it.

**3. Fetching content: every 15 minutes, and when you open the Maxooh admin
 screen


Sent to `GET https://maxooh.com/api/wp/pull`: your site identifier and token, in
request headers. Then, if pages were applied, to POST https://maxooh.com/api/wp/
ack: the result of each page (created, updated, unchanged, modified locally, failed)
with its address on your site. When: every 15 minutes, when you open the Maxooh 
admin screen (at most once every 5 minutes), and right after a status report that
says content is waiting. Why: many hosts and firewalls block incoming requests; 
this way the site fetches its own content instead of waiting for it.

**4. Visit counting: off by default, only if an administrator turns it on,
 only
on pages created by Maxooh

 Nothing is counted until an administrator ticks “Compter
les visites des pages Maxooh pour votre tableau de bord Maxooh” (count visits to
Maxooh pages for your Maxooh dashboard) on the Maxooh admin screen. Pairing does
not turn it on, and disconnecting turns it back off. Once it is on, a small script
is loaded only on the published pages and posts that Maxooh created: never on your
other pages, and never for logged-in users. For each visit, your server relays exactly
three values to `POST https://maxooh.com/api/wp/visit`: the slug of the Maxooh page
viewed, the domain of the referring site (for example `https://www.google.com/`,
never the full address), and a random session identifier drawn by the browser tab
and forgotten when the tab is closed. No cookie is set, no IP address is sent or
stored, no advertising identifier or third-party script is used, and browsers sending
Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control are not counted. Why: to show in your Maxooh
dashboard how many people reach the pages Maxooh produced. Untick the box at any
time to stop.

**5. Quote requests: only when a visitor submits a Maxooh quote form**
 Sent to `
POST https://maxooh.com/api/wp/lead`: the name, phone number, e-mail address and
message the visitor typed, and the page the form was submitted from (its address
and slug). Why: to deliver the request to your Maxooh inbox. If Maxooh cannot be
reached, or the site is not connected, nothing is sent to Maxooh and the request
is e-mailed to the site administrator instead, so it is never lost. The visitor’s
IP address is never sent: a salted hash of it is kept on your own site for at most
an hour, only to limit submissions to five per hour.

**6. Disconnection: once, when you click “Disconnect”**
 Sent to `POST https://maxooh.
com/api/wp/disconnect`: your site identifier, site URL and token, so the account
knows the site is no longer connected. The local settings are then erased. No content
is removed on either side.

**Images of Maxooh pages: each time Maxooh creates or updates a page**
 Downloaded
by your server from Maxooh’s storage, at the address Maxooh gives for each image:
the page’s featured image and the images placed inside its content (up to 15 per
page). These are plain file downloads: no token and no visitor data are sent (like
every request WordPress makes, they carry your site URL in their user agent). Why:
each image is copied once into your own Media Library and the page points to that
copy, so your pages never load images from Maxooh and keep them if you stop using
the service.

**Requests Maxooh makes to your site: only while it is connected**
 Maxooh calls
the plugin’s own routes on your site (`/wp-json/maxooh/v1/...`), with the token,
to deliver or unpublish its pages and their images, to read the list of pages it
manages and the technical diagnostic described in 1, and to read the business name,
phone number, address and opening hours your site already publishes (WordPress settings,
your SEO plugin’s local business details, or the structured data of your home page),
so that they can be compared with your Google Business Profile. These answers contain
nothing about your visitors. Without the token, every one of these routes refuses
to answer.

**Pairing on your behalf: only if an administrator approved Maxooh**
 One route 
takes no token, because it is the one that creates it: POST /wp-json/maxooh/v1/connect
receives a pairing code and runs exactly the pairing described in 1. It only accepts
requests made as an administrator of the site: Maxooh calls it with the application
password an administrator approved for Maxooh. If the site is already paired, it
changes nothing.

Your API token never appears in a URL, in a log, in a page served to a visitor,

or in an error message.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Formulaire de devis Un formulaire court : nom, téléphone, e-mail, message. 
   Les demandes arrivent dans votre espace Maxooh, et par e-mail si Maxooh est injoignable.

## Installation

 1. You need a Maxooh account first. In Maxooh, open your site and choose
     “Connecter
    mon WordPress” to get an 8-character code.
 2. Install the plugin: Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, choose the zip, then
     activate.
    Or unzip it into `wp-content/plugins/`.
 3. Open the **Maxooh** entry in the WordPress admin menu, paste your code and
     confirm.
    The code is valid for 15 minutes and can be used once.
 4. The screen then shows the connection status and the pages Maxooh manages.

## FAQ

### What happens to my pages if I deactivate or delete the plugin?

They stay. The pages Maxooh created remain published, in your theme, exactly as

they were. Uninstalling removes the plugin’s own settings, its post metadata and
its scheduled tasks, but never a page, never a post, never a media file. You simply
stop receiving new content.

### Can Maxooh install and connect the plugin for me?

Yes, if an administrator allows it. When an administrator approves Maxooh’s
 access
to the site with a WordPress application password, Maxooh can use that access to
install this plugin from WordPress.org, activate it and connect it to your account,
so there is no code to copy. Nothing is installed without that approval. You can
revoke the access at any time from your WordPress profile (Users > Profile > Application
Passwords). Revoking it does not remove the plugin or your pages, and does not disconnect
the plugin: use the Disconnect button on the Maxooh screen for that.

### Does the plugin modify my existing pages?

No. The plugin only writes to posts that carry its own identifier, which means
 
posts Maxooh created. A page you wrote is invisible to it, including your home page,
which Maxooh never publishes to.

One case is handled on purpose: pages Maxooh published on your site before the
 
plugin was installed, through the WordPress REST API and an application password.
So that they are not created a second time, or left online when Maxooh removes them,
Maxooh asks the plugin to take them over, and proves it with a fingerprint of the
content it wrote. A page that still matches is then updated like any Maxooh page.
A page you edited since is locked: Maxooh never changes it, never unpublishes it,
and lists it as “modified locally”; only you can unlock it from the admin screen.
A page you put in the trash stays there and is not created again. A page that already
carries a Maxooh identifier is never taken over.

### Do I need a Maxooh account?

Yes. Maxooh is a paid subscription service and this plugin is only the bridge to

it. On its own the plugin does nothing: there is no free mode, no trial mode and
no standalone feature.

### What if I edit a page created by Maxooh?

The plugin stops updating it. On every write it stores a fingerprint of the
 content
it published; before the next update it recomputes that fingerprint from what is
currently on the site. If they differ, your version is kept, the page is reported
as “modified locally” in both the WordPress screen and your Maxooh dashboard, and
nothing is overwritten. You can also lock a page permanently from the admin screen.

### Which SEO plugin does it work with?

Yoast SEO, Rank Math and SEOPress are detected automatically and their fields
 are
filled in. All in One SEO stores its data differently; when it cannot be written
safely the plugin says so on its status screen rather than guessing. If no SEO plugin
is installed, Maxooh outputs the title, description, canonical and robots tags itself,
on its own pages only.

### The site is behind a firewall and Maxooh says it cannot reach it.

Then the plugin fetches its content itself, every 15 minutes, and also each time

you open its admin screen. Nothing needs to be opened in your firewall.

### Does the plugin send data about my visitors?

Not unless you ask it to. Visit counting is off by default, and pairing does
 not
turn it on: it starts only if an administrator ticks “Compter les visites des pages
Maxooh pour votre tableau de bord Maxooh” on the Maxooh admin screen, and stops 
as soon as the box is unticked or the site is disconnected.

Even then, only the published pages created by Maxooh report a visit, and only
 
three values: the page’s slug, the domain of the referring site, and a random identifier
that lasts as long as the browser tab. No cookie, no IP address, no advertising 
identifier, no third-party script. Logged-in users and browsers sending Do Not Track
or Global Privacy Control are not counted. Your other pages never load the script
and never report anything.

Separately, when a visitor fills in and submits a Maxooh quote form, what they
 
typed is delivered to your Maxooh inbox. See “External services” above.
