How to use it

Prioritize commercial landing pages, comparison content, or paid search tests while intent is elevated — high commercial signals often justify faster creative turnaround.
Monitor CPC benchmarks in adjacent categories before scaling ads; use this spike for keyword discovery, not as proof of a fixed bid.
Build a “what we know / what’s next” article that cites the live headlines and updates as coverage changes — freshness is the moat on news-led spikes.
Finance spikes favor market explainers, ticker roundups, and risk disclosures — avoid presenting estimates as live prices.
