AI Overviews are changing B2B marketing in a big way. One study found that 72% of B2B buyers encountered AI Overviews when doing research. The good news is that most buyers want to know more than the AI tells them and click through the links in the summary.

How do you get to be in that summary? By building authority. That means new ways of optimization and a broader set of channels. Andrea Cruz explains precisely how to do all of that.

What they're saying

  • “The Big Resignation a few years ago was one of the rare times when the job market favored workers. As a result, employers did more to retain their staff, offering training, better benefits and, occasionally, more money. The pendulum has now swung in the other direction. Employees don’t have the leverage they did, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take an interest in their career development.” – Scott Gillum in Why your best marketers might be working for me.
  • “Managing a customer’s experience throughout their complex journey is challenging. Interests and behaviors do not work in straight lines, and too often, the insights we capture are out of date before we share them. With customers demanding ever-more relevant and timely interventions, marketing teams are simply losing the connection.” – Caroline Hodson in Turn disconnected insights into action with a lifecycle-driven strategy.
