Locrating is a great added benefit to all our customers who are now searching for a new home online with our brand new website. Thank you.
Locrating proved to be a real asset on our website. This resourceful tool provided our customers with comprehensive maps featuring school catchment areas, street views, and local amenities – everything from parks and shops to broadband speeds and transport links. It allowed potential buyers and tenants to get a clear picture of the neighbourhood before even setting foot outside, making the house hunting process considerably smoother.
We've used Locrating across multiple projects and that number is increasing regularly. The schools and transport data is really powerful stuff and adds tremendous value to our clients' websites. Lewis and Erica have always been very helpful and receptive to new ideas and suggestions. Highly recommended!
Always responsive, always happy to help.
Great company, great people.

Locrating maps local services – brilliantly!
We know from experience that Schools Information is the second most researched part of a site after the properties themselves. So it’s providing great service, value and brand penetration to your visitors.
If you haven’t come across Locrating before we highly recommend you check them out. They can offer you and your website users a whole heap of useful information about local schools that you just won’t get anywhere else, all of which is displayed in an easy-to-understand fashion and in context of the property being viewed
The Locrating maps on our property pages provide valuable, in-depth information on schools, such as Ofsted reports, expenditure per pupil and even pupils' happiness!
Decision making is about gathering data and Locrating gives home movers access to a myriad of information without having to navigate away from an agents’ own website – a crucial aspect considering time spent on site is one of the aspects ranked by Google.
Locrating is a really marvellous, highly intuitive way to get the feel of an area without even leaving your armchair. It’s so easy to use and we’re confident it will prove extremely popular with people looking for homes both to buy or rent. And from the point of view of sellers who list their properties with us, it’s an ideal platform on which all the benefits of a property can be shown.
Locrating has been an excellent addition to our website, significantly benefitting our customers' property searches. Lewis consistently goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding service and support!
Working with Erica and Lewis is such a pleasure, and a hassle-free experience ... no matter what query or suggestion we put to the Locrating team, you can be guaranteed that they will do their utmost to help find a solution that best fits our business ... choosing Locrating was a very easy decision ... it is extremely user-friendly and enhances our overall offering to clients, and they love it!
Adding our plugins, to any website, is super quick and easy; with just three simple steps, that can be completed in minutes.
Our plugins are extemely flexible and configurable; for example, you can change colours, fonts and map styles, turn different functionality on and off, and our plugins can even interact with other elements on the page.
We offer full, complimentary support throughout your time with us and configure the plugins to match your website style at launch, free of charge.
Please get in touch for more details and support in getting started.
Simply add a line in the page <head> section, to include our small Javascript API library.
Decide where you want the plugin to appear on your page and add a HTML <div> element to contain it.
With one Javascript call to our API you can populate the <div> with one of our plugins - and that's it!
Our plugins are managed by our small Javascript API that needs to be referenced just once, usually in the <head> section, of each page you wish to have a plugin appear, as below:
<!-- Locrating Javascript API -->
<script defer src="https://www.locrating.com/scripts/locratingIntegrationScripts.js"></script>
To embed a plugin into you webpage, you first need create an <div> to hold it, as below:
<!-- DIV to hold Locrating plugin -->
<div id="map" style="width:100%; height:600px;"></div>
You can chose your own dimensions and use a fixed or a dynamic size as all our plugins are fully responsive (i.e. their content adjusts the their size). You can chose to have a border as above, or not, it's totally up to you.
In an appropriate event, such as the onclick event of a Tab control. Call our API function loadLocratingPlugin, passing the id of the <div>, the lat and lng coordinates you wish the plugin to be centred around and the type of plugin you wish to display.
The example below, uses the <body> onload event to populate our all-in-one plugin.
<!-- Load Locrating All-in-one Plugin -->
<body onload="try{loadLocratingPlugin({id:'map', lat: 51.456913, lng : -0.073099, type:'all'});}catch (err) {};"></body>
Our plugins are highly customisable, so they can easily be configured to match the design of you site. See here for same examples. We offer full, complimentary support throughout your time with us and configure the plugins to match your website style at launch, free of charge.
Please get in touch for more details and support regarding configuration options.
It's possible to add you own markers to our plugin maps, for example, your own properties for sale or rent, which allows our plugins to be used in a variety of ways, such as a map of branches or property search results on a map.
Draw-a-search allows you to not only add your own markers to our maps, but to only show markers that are inside user drawn shapes on the map; You can see a working example of Draw-a-search here.
Draw a shape on the map below to see this is action; click the first button under the zoom controls in the top left of the map to start drawing. You can draw multiple shapes and later edit the shapes using the other buttons.
When adding your own markers to one of our plugins, you can chose to cluster the markers; meaning that a group of markers, which are close to each other, appear as a single icon when zoomed out. When you zoom in the cluster opens up and the icons appear individually. This reduces clutter on the map.
You can see clustering in action here.
You can have users presented with a prompt asking them which type of schools they are interested in (i.e. nurseries, primary, secondary etc.), as below.
If your website uses Property Hive, please be aware that there is a Property Hive add-on for Locrating. This allows you to very quickly and easily add Locrating maps via Property Hive configuration and shortcodes. Not all Locrating features are supported however, so more advanced users may still want to build their own implementation of Locrating.
When you are ready to go live with our plugin on your public site, you need to ensure you have a valid subscription, otherwise you will see an error message saying 'no subscription found'. If you haven't already please get in touch.
We're always here to help, please feel free to contact us with any issues, comments or suggestions.
