02STRATEGIES & TACTICS

DON'T IGNORE THE “MIDDLE CHILD”

Many B2B companies focus heavily on onboarding and renewals but neglect the long "middle" of the customer lifecycle, where engagement often drops off. This period is overlooked due to unclear metrics, ownership confusion, and the difficulty of creating content for established users. This leads to missed expansion opportunities, declining usage, and last-minute renewal scrambles. To address this, companies should implement milestone-triggered communications, create mid-lifecycle value roadmaps, and develop re-onboarding experiences to keep customers engaged.

AI VISIBILITY PYRAMID: HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PRESENCE IN AI SEARCH

AI search is reshaping how visibility works, and traditional SEO alone is no longer enough. The AI Visibility Pyramid introduces a layered strategy that starts with strong SEO fundamentals, moves into context-aware content that answers specific queries across AI platforms, and builds trust signals through third-party mentions and digital PR. Brands that consistently execute across these levels are more likely to appear in AI-generated results in the new search context.

HOW TO USE AN AI BROWSER AGENT TO CHECK FORM LOADS AND BEHAVIORS

To prevent unnoticed issues with their demo form, the team at MadKudu set up an AI browser agent that mimicked a real user and tested the booking flow daily. The agent fills out the form, waits for the calendar to load, selects a time, and flags anything that doesn't work, ensuring the full user experience is functional, not just the form. The team used Convergence.ai and set it up in 5 minutes by writing a plain-language prompt and scheduling daily tests. This setup now alerts them immediately if something breaks, helping the team avoid lost leads and surprise errors.

BRAND SAFETY IS BS UNTIL IT'S NOT

Effective brand protection is now much more focused on anticipating reputational risks and addressing them through strategic brand experiences than reactive PR. Audiences do not respond well to corporate statements as much as they respond to people especially before a crisis happens. Companies that empower internal teams to communicate externally, that show up in overlooked but high-impact environments, and that reinforce their brand promise through real-world experiences outperform competitors when trust is tested.
