Icewear Hot & Cold Therapy Index
Icewear analysed 54,000 Google reviews across 60 natural hot- and cold-therapy locations and published a ranked ‘hot and cold therapy’ index highlighting the world’s best cold-water swimming spots; the coverage (picked up by Time Out) framed the data as a travel-worthy list with Lake Bled topping the ranking.
Why it worked: It turned a fast-rising search trend into a ranked, keyword-scored list from 54,000 reviews—ready-made headlines and local angles for editors.
The lesson: Consider mining public reviews to algorithmically rank “best-of” experiences, then localize the leaderboard for multiple outlets’ city/regional editions.
