Working with Erica and Lewis is a pleasure and a hassle-free relationship...
Working with Erica and Lewis is a pleasure and a hassle-free relationship. We had been searching for a solution for our digital brochures that would enable Real Media to display schools and transport links in proximity to the property within the brochure. After trailing several possible solutions, choosing Locrating was a very easy decision.
In terms of final product, it is extremely user-friendly and enhances our overall brochure offering to clients, and they love it!

The team at Starberry absolutely love the Locrating Schools Module.
The team at Starberry absolutely love the Locrating Schools Module and have been integrating this module into websites we build [since 2013]. This is great product that offers a wealth of information about local schools and makes the websites we build so much more informative.
In addition, the knowledge, expertise & friendliness of the team at Locrating makes working with them a fantastic experience.
It is noticeable from our website analytics that the school maps are extremely popular .
Erica contacted me 3 years ago and simply asked whether we would be interested in Locrating’s school information feed. When she explained this was a simple plug-in, could be set up within hours and I didn’t need to lift a finger, I was sold.
True to her word, the team worked closely with our web developer and within no time we had very impressive local school and catchment area maps. It is noticeable from our website analytics that the school maps are extremely popular and because the information is sourced from Ofsted we can ensure that the public know it’s from an independent body rather than our opinion about schools. Erica’s sales pitch is soft which is refreshing in a world where everyone’s trying to sell you the next big thing. Locrating are also open to new ideas and we have worked with them to include user friendly instructions.
We regularly receive positive feedback from our clients for our school and transport features.
