In this episode of Content Logistics, host Baylee Gunnell sits down with Tom Rudnai, Founder & CEO at Demand Genius. They explore how B2B marketers should think about showing up in AI, and why citations alone miss most of the story.

Tom explains that prompts are not keywords, and that AI influence starts long before a buyer clicks a cited link. He breaks down the iceberg of AI visibility, warns against mass-producing content that creates content debt, and argues that positioning, content, and reputation must stay aligned.

He lays out a way to measure AI performance: track prompts across the journey, study sentiment and alignment, and focus on content with information gain. Tom closes by showing how AI can maintain content libraries while marketers spend more time on original research.
