AI doesn’t primarily affect traffic. AI affects the shortlist. And the shortlist is formed before your potential customer even considers clicking on anything. 77% of B2B buyers end up choosing a supplier from the list they had in mind from day one. If you’re not on that list, it doesn’t help much that you rank on page one.
That is the premise on which the webinar is based.
We’ll take a look at what actually happens during the early stages of a B2B customer journey in 2026: how buying committees use AI to understand categories, set criteria, and evaluate suppliers—and why this happens long before the first intent signals reach your marketing setup. We’ll show you what it takes to be mentioned and cited correctly, and the difference between being visible on Google and being recommended in AI responses.
And we'll discuss what this means for you as business leaders: what questions you should ask, what you should measure, and what actually makes a difference.
