Reach people deciding where to go in Cairns
Cairns Spots lists venues across Cairns with the filters people use when deciding where to go. Sponsored placements sit beside those results, clearly labelled and outside the editorial ranking. We share the traffic figures we actually have on request rather than quoting audience claims we can't evidence.
Tourism-led
Deciding from a hotel room
Most Cairns readers are visitors planning tomorrow with no local knowledge at all. They're choosing entirely from what they can find, which makes findability the whole game.
Reef and rainforest
Trips, not just meals
A lot of the audience is booking a day out rather than dinner. That's a higher-value, further-ahead decision than a casual walk-in.
Wet season
Trade you can predict
The wet reshapes trading hours and visitor numbers every year. Anyone advertising here should plan around it rather than through it.
Ways to work together
Advertising & partnership options
Prices and availability below are current; “Coming soon” means not yet available to buy, and “On request” means we will confirm what we can actually deliver before quoting. Everything is clearly labelled, and paid placement never changes your Spot Score — we never sell our editorial independence.
Direct booking only
Programmatic display (Google AdSense) is currently parked and is not on offer. A direct, labelled display placement tied to a specific guide or area can be discussed.
- Direct deals only
- Labelled placements
- No programmatic network running

Appear inside the Cairns category and suburb pages, always marked Sponsored. The Spot Score doesn't move — visitors have no local network to check against, so selling the ranking would be selling out the people who most depend on it.
