B2B Brands Lose AI Search Visibility
Walker Sands released the B2B AI Search Visibility Benchmark today, finding AI Overviews appear in nearly 50% of search results for relevant enterprise B2B keywords, yet the typical brand is cited in just 3% of AI-generated answers. The firm analyzed nearly 45 million keywords across 828 companies in 14 industries, highlighting sector gaps and urging brands to build topic authority and structured content.
Key Points
