Uncover the strategic secrets of global B2B marketing with Doug Jones, Director of Global Marketing at Aerotech.

Most marketing strategies for SMBs fail because they’re built on vague goals, siloed thinking, and a lack of strategic clarity. Doug reveals how Aerotech leverages detailed strategy maps, gap analyses, and a meticulous 47-point framework to consistently hit ambitious targets. If you’re a marketer looking to move beyond tactical chaos and develop a scalable, strategic attack plan, this episode is a must-watch.

Get ranked. But, also, get cited.

Later part of 2025- 76% of AI Overview citations came from top 10 organic results

Early 2026 - that number was 38% (and some research puts it as low as 17%)

If your page answers the question, it’s getting cited.

Here’s five quick tips to getting cited more often:

  1. Lead with the most important content, everything else goes underneath. AI Systems extract so the first 50 words on any given page are critical. Create pages for important topics and keep them updated. Fresh content (under 90 days) gets cited more frequently.

  2. Post on LinkedIn. Research from Profound shows that LinkedIn is now the #1 cited domain for professional queries across all six major AI platforms (and that just happened in the last 3 months). Your team needs to add posting on LI as a weekly (or even daily) task.

  3. Get on Reddit. According to Semrush, Reddit is the #1 most-cited domain across ChatGPT, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews with 3M+ mentions. Participate in the subreddits where your buyers are engaging.

  4. It’s not just content, it’s brand. AI systems need to know what your brand is, what it does and who it serves. They pull data from your website, your schema markup, your About page, third-party mentions, directory profiles, etc. Structured content help AI systems cite your brand because it understands it.

  5. Publish data and case studies. Original research, stats and stories are standouts among the AI generic content everyone else is pushing out.

Visibility is the page that has the answer. Be that page!
