Content AI quotes.
Collateral sales actually sends.
Comparison pages, buyer guides, use-case pages, case studies and one-pagers. Written to your real facts, structured so ChatGPT and Google's AI can lift the answer straight out, and useful enough that your sales team sends them. Best done once the AEO foundations are in.
B2B content for AI search means publishing the pages AI assistants quote when buyers research your category: honest comparison pages with simple tables, buyer guides, use-case pages and proof. Answer first, specific, well-linked, with real expertise behind it. The same research then feeds the one-pagers, case studies and decks your sales team uses.
I start content once the AEO foundations are in place. Two pieces a month are included in Foundations (from NZ$1,400 a month), and the Content & Enablement tier (from NZ$2,500) adds more output plus sales collateral.
Why does content come second? Fewer words, better ones.
Most B2B blogs are 80 posts nobody reads, written to hit a quota. AI made this worse: everyone can now produce the median article in four seconds, so the median article is worth nothing.
What gets cited now is the stuff a model can't make up: your numbers, your opinions, your pricing, your process, your comparisons. Content with the expertise left in.
So I write less, research more, and link everything into a web that tells search engines exactly what you're an authority on. Then I go back and update the pieces that are close to winning, which is the bit everyone forgets.
None of this means blogs are dead. They still earn visitors, and plenty of them. But a visit isn't the goal. It's what's on the page that turns a reader into a buyer: the next step, the comparison, the proof, the link that keeps them moving with you instead of bouncing back to Google.
If an AI could have written it without talking to you, an AI will cite someone else instead.Basically my whole content philosophy
Content that earns its place.
Comparison & alternatives pages
“You vs them” and “best X for Y” pages with a simple, honest table. In my experience, the most-cited page type in AI answers, by a distance. Why they work.
Buyer guides & FAQ hubs
The definitive answer to the questions buyers ask before they talk to sales. Answer first, sections that stand on their own.
Use-case & application pages
One page per buyer problem, so AI can match you to the exact situation someone describes.
Case studies & proof pages
Real numbers, real customers, clear method. The stuff a model can't make up, so it has to quote you.
Sales collateral
One-pagers, battle cards, decks and proposals built from the same research, so marketing and sales say the same thing.
Glossaries & original data
Plain-English definitions and your own benchmarks. Cheap to make, cited constantly.
Research first. Writing last.
- Step 1
Find the real question
Prompt research, Search Console, sales call notes. We pick questions with buying intent, not the ones with the biggest number next to them.
- Step 2
Brief with your expert
A 20-minute chat or a voice note from someone who actually knows the topic. This is where the stuff AI can't make up comes from.
- Step 3
Write it to be quoted
Answer in the first two sentences, sections that stand on their own, tables where tables help, schema on top.
- Step 4
Link it into the web
Every piece links up to its hub and across to its neighbours, so the whole topic gets stronger, not just one page.
- Step 5
Measure, then update
Track rankings and citations. Pages that are close get updated. Pages that flopped get honest post-mortems.
I won't sell you a content mill.
What I will do
- Write fewer, better pieces with your expertise in them.
- Update what you've already got when that's a better use of the month than something new.
- Use AI for research and validation, not to write your content for you.
- Tie content to pipeline, not to page views you can't explain to your CFO.
What I won't pretend
- 20 posts a month. You don't need them, and Google doesn't want them.
- Unedited AI copy. It reads like everyone else's, because it is everyone else's.
- Content before foundations. If your site can't be read, I'll fix that first, or tell you to.
- Social account management. I'll repurpose pieces for LinkedIn. I won't run your channels.
