How to use it

  • Lead with timely explainers, roundups, or reaction content — low commercial intent topics usually reward speed and clarity over hard sell.
  • Capture long-tail SEO around “what happened”, timelines, and FAQ-style pages before the spike cools.
  • 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.
