AI changed how buyers compare products, your content needs to reflect this new reality
The old SEO playbook is obsolete. Buyers don’t browse ten links or book discovery calls – they ask ChatGPT or Perplexity and get a complete, comparison-driven answer built for decision-making.
If you’re not part of that answer, you’re out of the deal.
This cohort is a focused sprint to help you win visibility inside AI search by building comparison content optimized for Deep Research. You’ll learn how to audit your presence across LLMs, identify content gaps, and create pages that LLMs cite and buyers trust. It’s not theory – it’s real workflows, tools, and templates for the way buying actually happens now.

“How is AI affecting the role of a marketer? I have seen this question asked a hundred times and rarely seen a credible answer. CXL ran a webinar this week that actually delivered one.
It had a bit of a cold shower effect, just data and a clear-eyed look at where things are.”
Growth Experimentation | 500+ A/B Tests
“CXL changed my life. I’m not exaggerating, it actually did…
I got so deep in the content that a year later, in a completely unexpected turn of events, I was hired by Speero. Boom. Easily a 50x ROI right there.
