    Zero-click search, where buyers get information without clicking through to a website, isn’t new, but what it means for B2B marketers has fundamentally changed.

    When I talk to B2B leaders about their generative AI (genAI) adoption efforts, I hear a mix of frustration, FOMO, and skepticism. Many feel stuck.
