What and where can you rate on LOOrank?

LOOrank uses Google Places as its central database.

Firstly, what is Google Places?

In a post written in 2012, www.advisorsocial.com perfectly summaries what Google Places is and how, as a business, you can ensure that you’re on there:

“Google Places is the local listing results of Google. Google Places appears high up in the search results of Google when users look for local information. Here, a small map shows the locations of those companies which are both relevant to the keywords entered and registered on Google Places. Links to the websites of these companies can be found right beside the map.”

Apps and websites, like www.loorank.com, can use the Google Places API to gain direct access to a database of around 100 million places around the world including businesses, restaurants, shops, airports etc.  

How does this help LOOrank?

And ultimately, how does this help you - the user. Google Places allows you to access to millions of public facilities in every country and continent in the world. This means that our database will always be up-to-date and relevant for users.

So, what can you rate?

Thanks to Google Places we’ve estimated that around 90% of businesses or locations with public restroom facilities are available on our app and website. There are no restrictions to the facilities you can rate. We suggest:

• Restaurants
• Bars and Clubs
• Airports
• Train stations
• Hotels
• Shopping centres
• Offices

To name but a few but the answer to where you can rate is even simpler… anywhere!

Our app will be available in November, making it even easier as you’ll have the entire world (and the bathrooms within it) at your fingertips. Don’t worry though, you can still sign up and start using LOOrank. Head over to our website - www.loorank.com - to sign up today.
