Larvabot

v1.1.0 · by larvabot

See which emails, threads, directory listings and backlinks send your site real visitors. Connects your site to Larvabot in one click. No cookies.

About this plugin

Larvabot finds people online who are asking for what you sell, drafts a reply for each, and finds local businesses worth a personal email. Its reports show which of those emails, replies, directory listings and backlinks actually brought visitors to your website.

Those reports need a small snippet on every page of your site. This plugin adds it for you, without editing your theme or pasting code into a header plugin.

What it does

  • Adds the Larvabot visitor snippet to every page of your site.
  • Connect to Larvabot: one click, pick your project, done. Or paste your tracking key by hand.
  • Disconnect any time: the snippet is removed from your site. Deactivating or deleting the plugin removes it too.

What it doesn’t do

  • No cookies, no local storage, no fingerprinting, and no IP addresses are stored.
  • No ads, no tracking of your WordPress admin activity, and no calls from your server to Larvabot.
  • No settings to tune. It does one job.

You need a Larvabot account to see the reports. Larvabot has a 14-day free trial, no card required.

External services

This plugin adds a script from Larvabot (https://larvabot.com/t.js) to your site’s pages. The script is what makes Larvabot’s visitor reports work.

  • What is sent, and when: each time a visitor views a page, their browser sends Larvabot your project’s tracking key, the page path, and, on the first page of a visit, the referring page and the page’s query string (for example ?ref= and utm_ tags). Larvabot records the visitor’s country from the connection, but doesn’t store IP addresses. The script sets no cookies and uses no local storage.
  • Connect to Larvabot: when you click Connect, your browser opens app.larvabot.com with your site’s address, so you can pick the matching project. Larvabot sends your browser back to this settings page with that project’s tracking key.
