Cruise and short-stay planning
For bookable attractions, tours, food and visitor services relevant to a limited stop ashore.
90-day local advertising package
Put your business inside the decisions Cobh visitors are already making.
Your correct basic listing remains free. The paid package is two prominent, disclosed advertising positions on agreed visitor-planning pages, each linking directly to your chosen business route.
Scope requests are reviewed manually. Payment is requested only after the placement scope is agreed in writing.

Agreed high-intent contexts

Qualification
A useful placement must work for visitors too
The cohort is deliberately small. We accept businesses only where the placement fits an existing visitor decision and the action can be measured honestly.
- You serve Cobh visitors directly
- Your website, booking, reservation or directions link has commercial value
- At least two Cobh Compass pages genuinely improve with your placement
- You can approve your business facts and images
Where partners can appear
Placement beside real planning choices, not a generic banner rotation
Final contexts are agreed before payment. A placement is included only when it improves the page for the visitor and is clearly disclosed as paid.
Itineraries and practical routes
For businesses that make a one-day, half-day, family or car-free plan more useful.
Map and nearby decisions
For places where location, directions and the next visitor action matter.
Category discovery
For relevant stays, food, attractions and experiences when visitors compare options.

Straight answers
Before you request a scope
What counts as a result?
Cobh Compass reports the website, booking and directions clicks it can directly observe for hotels, venues and attractions. Page views are context, not proof of sales.
Are bookings or revenue guaranteed?
No. The pilot buys relevant placement and measurement, not guaranteed traffic, leads, bookings, rankings or revenue.
Is this a paid recommendation?
No. Paid placements are disclosed. Advertising buys visibility, never editorial praise, false rankings or a misleading recommendation.
What happens after 90 days?
We review observed actions and your feedback. You can stop and keep the free basic listing, or continue the two advertising positions at the founding €149/month rate.
Can I keep a basic listing for free?
Yes. A correct basic listing remains free. The paid package is for two additional, disclosed advertising positions with direct links and action reporting.
Free directory access
Not applying for the pilot?
You can still submit, claim or correct a basic listing at no charge. Events remain free to submit and are reviewed manually.
How we contact businesses
Cobh Compass contacts businesses personally and one by one. We do not run scraped bulk-email campaigns, and any business can ask not to be contacted again.
We use business contact details clearly published for enquiries.
We ask businesses to approve facts, links and supplied images.
We do not present page views as proof of bookings or sales.
Advertising buys disclosed visibility, never editorial opinion.
