If you’re starting off the year with a bunch of execs demanding explosive growth in 2026, you’ll like this creator’s refreshing take: “Your brand doesn’t need to be loved by everyone. Even if you’ve captured just 3% of the market, your brand can stay alive.” While I’m aware “staying alive” is more disco anthem than marketing goal, her point holds: Trying to appeal to everyone in 2026 isn’t going to work… and it also doesn’t need to.

The best AI visibility tools that actually improve lead quality
Search has changed faster than most teams have adapted. For years, visibility meant ranking — climbing search pages through backlinks, keywords, and authority signals. Now, customers open ChatGPT or Gemini, type a question, and receive a synthesized answer drawn from multiple sources. McKinsey’s recent finding that only 16% of brands systematically track AI search performance underscores the gap between how people search and how companies measure visibility.

Unlike ROAS, which focuses on the return of specific ad campaigns, MER gives a blended, executive-level view of overall marketing effectiveness across all channels. A higher MER indicates more efficient marketing performance, although what counts as “good” depends on margins, customer behavior, and business model. As search, analytics, and attribution evolve, marketing efficiency and MER have become headline metrics for marketers, revenue leaders, and finance teams. MER captures the holistic […]

AI search strategy: A guide for modern marketing teams
Search no longer rewards keywords alone — it rewards clarity. Large language models now read, reason, and restate information, deciding which brands to quote when they answer. An AI search strategy adapts content for that shift, focusing on being understood and cited, not just ranked and clicked. Structured data defines entities and relationships; concise statements make them extractable; CRM connections turn unseen visibility into measurable influence. Clicks may decline, but authority doesn’t. In AI search, every sentence becomes a new point of discovery. This article explores what an AI search strategy is and how content marketers and SEOs can implement […]
