CHATBOTS PUT PR BACK ON THE BRAND AGENDA. SOCIAL LISTENING DECIDES WHAT IT SHOULD SAY

AI search is giving PR a larger role in marketing because chatbots use third-party coverage to answer questions and recommend brands. One forecast projects that PR and earned media budgets will double by 2027 as more consumers use AI chatbots instead of traditional search. Social listening also gives brands real-time audience research, helping teams identify which creative ideas resonate and which risk backlash before investing further. As AI makes content cheaper to produce, audience understanding and independent brand credibility become more valuable.

OZEMPIC IS CHANGING HOW AMERICANS SPEND MONEY, AND THE NUMBERS ARE STARTLING

Meanwhile, household spending at fast-food restaurants drops nearly 9% after 6-8 months on the drugs. Users are also buying fewer sweets and sugary drinks while spending more on fresh produce and protein.

SPOTTING CTR DECAY EARLY: HOW TO CATCH AD CREATIVE FATIGUE

Creative fatigue shows up as one ad's CTR sliding week after week below its own launch-week level while frequency climbs and the other ads in the same ad set hold steady. A single early drop that then flattens is normal settling, not fatigue. CPM rising on every ad at once points to the auction or the calendar instead, and frequency rising while reach plateaus points to an exhausted audience. Meta's own “Creative fatigue” status only appears once cost per result doubles, well after spend is lost.

THE ANATOMY OF THE BEST-PERFORMING ONBOARDING PAYWALLS

Multi-page onboarding paywalls convert 47% better than single-page ones, and conversion peaks at 3 screens. The top performers follow the same sequence, a free-trial promise with no prices, then a trial-end reminder, then the offer. The reminder screen is the strongest single signal, lifting conversion from 8.7% to 14.8% by removing the fear of forgetting to cancel. Leading with one yearly plan beats the common yearly-plus-monthly picker by about 1.5x, and an abandon offer for users who cancel checkout adds roughly 18% revenue per view.

HOW WE BUILT AND LAUNCHED A VIRAL RESEARCH CAMPAIGN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LINKEDIN

Partnering with a brand that has complementary data and a shared interest can make original research stand out in a crowded market and expand its reach. Semrush combined its AI citation data with LinkedIn's content and engagement data to analyze around 89,000 LinkedIn URLs cited by AI search tools. The study found that 95% of cited posts were original content rather than reshares, and most cited posts averaged just 15 to 25 reactions. Semrush and LinkedIn coordinated media outreach, employee advocacy, social promotion, and launch timing to reach both audiences and generate strong media coverage, tens of thousands of visits, and dozens of signups. The collaboration also created new opportunities for guest content and speaking engagements beyond the initial campaign.
