Get your aurora tours featured on the forecast for your town
Cosmik publishes a live aurora forecast page for hundreds of towns, in 10 languages. If you run tours from one of them, we'll show you there as the local guide — free. All we ask is a link from your site back to that forecast.
The featured local guide — how it works
You send four things
Your name, your website, one or two sentences about your tours in your own words, and your logo. Reply by email — no form, no account.
We add you to your town's page
A clearly labelled “Local guide” card on the live forecast page for your town (and nearby towns you really cover), in all 10 languages the page is published in.
You link back to the forecast
A normal link from your site — a conditions or FAQ page is perfect — to our live forecast for your town. If the link comes down, the card does too.
Straight about the traffic
Cosmik is a young, independent site. Our aurora town pages get modest traffic today, and it grows through the season as storms hit the news. We won't quote you a big number here: ask, and we'll send you the real page views for your own town. The listing is free, we take no commission and we don't sell tours ourselves. Each town page shows at most two operators, first come first listed; if we ever add paid placements we'll tell you beforehand, and you can leave whenever you like.
Straight about the forecast
The page shows NOAA's live geomagnetic forecast, the activity level your town typically needs and tonight's cloud cover. It says “possible” and “unlikely”, never “guaranteed” — the same honest odds you give your own guests.
Want more? Your own branded forecast and guest alerts
Everything below is the optional paid side: a white-label forecast on your own site and automated alerts to your booked guests. The featured listing above doesn't depend on it.
The cloudy night is costing you more than a refund
Aurora tourism runs on a single anxious question: “will I see it tonight?”When the sky doesn't cooperate, the fallout lands squarely on you:
- Cloudy-night 1-star reviews. Reviews cluster on the nights guests miss it, and recent reviews weigh most in OTA rankings. A run of 1-stars can quietly push your Viator and TripAdvisor placement down for weeks.
- Open-ended free-retry liability. No-refund-if-the-tour-runs is standard, so every clouded-out guest becomes a free-retry seat you owe — sometimes for years. Each cloudy night is unpaid future capacity on your books.
- The manual 2am text.You (or your guides) already watch the Kp index and fire off “aurora sighted!” messages by hand — unbranded, exhausting, and often pointing your own guest at a rival's free app.
Cosmik doesn't sell you data. It sells fewer bad reviews, more rebookings, and ownership of the anxious guest's attention — with your name on it.
How it works — value your guests actually feel
Embed the branded widget
Copy-paste one snippet onto your site in two minutes — or let us host the page. Your logo, your colors, live Kp and cloud cover for your destination.
Your guests get your forecast
They see “aurora tonight at [your destination]” — odds AND tonight's clearest-sky window — with YOUR brand, instead of opening a rival free app.
We auto-alert at the peak
When aurora is possible we email your guests with the best clear window (SMS on Premium) — so more show up on the right night and rebook their retry.
What a better forecast is worth to you
Put in your own numbers. Every recovered guest is a retry seat you no longer owe for free and a night that ends in a 5-star review instead of a 1-star.
No-show or free-retry guests who come back on the right night.

Straight answers
I already text my guests myself — why pay for this?
Because we automate the 2am grunt work and put YOUR brand on the forecast. Right now a guest who checks the sky opens a rival free app; with Cosmik they open your branded page and get a guest-specific alert tied to their booking. You keep the relationship — we just remove the manual labour.
NOAA and free aurora apps already exist — isn't this the same?
Free apps are generic, unbranded, and send your guest to a competitor. Cosmik is per-destination, carries your logo, and pairs the Kp odds with tonight's cloud-cover forecast — the factor behind most “we saw nothing” nights — then emails your guests the clearest-sky window. It's a branded concierge, not a public data feed.
My season is short and margins are tight.
It's priced under your booking software and billed for the months you actually run. One recovered retry seat, or one avoided 1-star review, pays for it many times over — the ROI calculator above uses your own numbers.
If the forecast is wrong it makes ME look bad.
We show honest probabilities (the 10–90% odds you already work with), not hype. Setting realistic expectations demonstrably produces fewer “we drove out and saw nothing” reviews than over-promising a guaranteed show.
I'm not technical — is setup a hassle?
One copy-paste embed snippet (or we host the page for you), plus a guest opt-in link you share in booking emails. Guest alerts go by email — no app for your guests to install (SMS on Premium). It's a two-minute setup, and Starter's first month is $1 to try it risk-free.
Enterprise — DMOs, cruises & multi-property groups
Unlimited destinations, priority data and an SLA. Tell us what you run and we'll reply by email with next steps — no call, no demo scheduling.
