What is the LOORank ranking system?

LOORank incorporates an in-app ranking system for its users. The more toilets a user rates, the higher they rank.

We’ve devised various ranks that our users can achieve while rating toilets. What are those ranks you ask?

The system is simple, we’ve incorporated a number of “levels” for our users to achieve.

Users who rate at least one toilet achieve their REVIEWER status. After 5 reviews, users move on to the SILVER status, before moving on to GOLD after 10 and STAR after 20.

We wanted to make things fun, we introduced a few more interested review statuses including:

• COMMANDER at 50 reviews and above
• KING for 100+
• And for our supreme raters, after 500 reviews you’ll achieve our EMPEROR status.

It’s not all fun and games though, we truly believe that our app has the potential to raise hygiene standards across the world... but we wanted to add something entertaining for our users as well.

Start rating today, head over to www.loorank.com or download our brand new app to create your account and on your journey toward becoming an Emperor.

The app is available in App Store for iOS users and Google Play for Android users now.

How does LOOrank work for businesses?

LOOrank is the only mobile app that allows users to search for public facilities, rate them and include images. Our goal with LOOrank is to raise hygiene standards, across the world, in bars, restaurants, hotels, shopping centres, airports etc.

There is the obvious advantage for users; they are able to provide honest feedback and find highly rated restrooms where ever they are but there is an even bigger advantage to the businesses or owners of those facilities.

We use Google Places as a database, meaning that we have millions of facilities available to be rated. Businesses can use LOOrank to search for their own, or their competitors, establishments and see what people have to say about your toilet facilities.

Here at LOOrank we truly believe that the toilet/bathroom is a reflection of your entire establishment. If the time hasn’t been taken to properly clean the bathrooms and provide a hygienic experience for customers then what does that say about the cleanliness or care and attention for the rest of your business?

Speaking from experience, we know that these things can have a lasting impression. You want your customers leaving having had a great experience overall - including using your restroom. So it’s important to ensure that you do everything you can.

You’ll notice that I mentioned your competitors. LOOrank could potentially be used as a research tool. Find out how your competitors fare against you. If there’s something that you can do to give yourself the competitive edge then you should do it and LOOrank will be able to assist you in ensuring that you can guarantee that your toilet facilities are always one step ahead.

Perhaps you could use LOOrank as an additional resource? LOORank is a free website and application. Promote LOOrank within your business. Customers may feel more comfortable doing this as it’s a way of keeping some anonymity, than if they were to speak with your staff.

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.
