What's inside

Marketing didn't change overnight, but the signals that marketers depend on did.


Discovery now happens across AI-generated answers, summaries, and comparisons, often before anyone lands on a website. As a result, many teams are producing more content while feeling less confident about what actually gets seen, trusted, or reused.


This whitepaper is built on insights from 150+ marketers and focuses on the practical side of that shift: how roles are changing, where teams feel stuck, and what it takes to maintain content health when visibility no longer depends on clicks alone.

Only 29% of marketers
  • describe their content ecosystem as “very healthy.”

57% of marketers
  • say approval layers slow content updates the most, followed by time constraints and technical bottlenecks.

74% of marketers
  • expect AI chat interfaces to become more important than the website as a discovery channel.

What you’ll learn

✅ Why discovery increasingly starts with a prompt, not a page

✅ How marketers are shifting from creators to curators — and what that means in practice

✅ Why content health is replacing traffic as a key marketing KPI

✅ What’s slowing content updates down inside real teams

✅ How to prepare content for AI-driven visibility without chasing every new channel

It’s pivot or fall behind. 2025–2026 is the critical pivot window: Sites that aren’t rethinking architecture now will be forced to play catch-up in just a couple of years.
