Feature-by-feature comparison
Why forecasters move beyond Facebook
Facebook is where your audience already is. ForecasterHQ is where you convert them into subscribers you control.
Escape declining reach
Facebook page organic reach is under 5%. Your posts reach a fraction of your followers. Email reaches all of them.
Subscribers you actually own
Facebook group members belong to Facebook. ForecasterHQ subscribers get direct email notifications you control.
Interactive maps, not image posts
Stop posting screenshots of radar. Publish interactive, zoomable forecast maps your audience can explore.
Verified prediction record
NWS observations automatically verify your forecasts. Your accuracy is public — not lost in a Facebook thread.
Professional portfolio
Your profile shows every forecast with status and timestamps. Facebook shows a mix of posts, shares, and ads.
Google-discoverable
Your ForecasterHQ profile ranks in search. Facebook pages are increasingly invisible to search engines.
Keep your Facebook community. Add a real home base.
Your Facebook group is valuable — don't abandon it. But link your ForecasterHQ profile everywhere: your page bio, your group pinned post, your video descriptions. Convert group members into email subscribers. When Facebook's algorithm changes again, your audience is still there.
