Ep. 229: How to Build a Powerful GEO Strategy for Greater AI Visibility
2026/09/30
AI search is dramatically changing the way B2B buyers discover solutions and evaluate potential vendors. In many ways, generative engine optimization (GEO) is quickly evolving from a technical SEO tactic into an essential cross-functional operational strategy. B2B companies must learn to adapt to this constantly evolving ecosystem, or they risk losing organic market share to competitors. So, how can B2B marketing teams move from disconnected experimentation to a structured GEO strategy that optimizes AI visibility?
That’s why we’re talking to Andrea Lechner-Becker (Chief Strategy Officer, GNW Consulting), who shared her expertise and proven framework on how to build a powerful GEO strategy for greater AI visibility. In this episode, Andrea outlined the core differences between SEO and GEO and shared some of the common pitfalls that marketing teams should avoid. She also explained why she believed AI visibility is becoming a martech and GTM operations issue, and urged teams to prioritize GEO based on business goals as well as product-market fit. Andrea highlighted some key findings from GNW Consulting’s recently released State of Generative Engine Optimization Report, providing a glimpse into critical industry benchmarks. Finally, Andrea recommended that teams measure AI visibility through marketing and revenue operations, connecting attribution and pipeline data, and focusing on high-converting tactics.
Ep. 228: How to Guarantee that You’re A Winner in AI Search
2026/09/16
How does applying advanced data science methodologies increase your visibility in AI search? It’s undoubtedly a topic that everyone in the B2B ecosystem is discussing and trying to figure out. Many are keen to increase their online visibility, yet these are the same people still using outdated SEO playbooks, which severely impacts their digital presence. The landscape has changed significantly, and those who don’t adapt will get left behind in a world where being found online matters now more than ever.
That’s why we’re talking to returning guest Andreas Voniatis (Founder, Artios.io), who shared his experience and proven data science frameworks on how to guarantee that you’re a winner in AI search. In this episode, Andreas explained why he felt that most responses to AI-driven search miss the point, and why he thinks this is a data science and not a traditional content strategy problem. He also elaborated on how teams should focus on creating content based on specific target personas rather than chasing broad keywords. Andreas also highlighted how publishing more content could be seen as counterproductive unless it provides true information gain. He also outlined a scientific approach to proactively address the AI search visibility challenge: create a prompt library of real buyer questions, track responses across many firms over a 30-day benchmark, and mine the resulting millions of data points for citation patterns and authoritative domains that are worth targeting with digital PR.
Ep. 227: How the Right Brand Strategy Drives Long-Term Business Growth
2026/09/09
How can B2B companies create more sustainable and predictable long-term growth with the right brand strategy? Most businesses invest in tactical marketing campaigns long before clarifying their story and target audience, which is why many efforts stall or fail. Implementing growth initiatives without the right strategic blueprint is like driving a car without an engine: it only consumes energy and doesn’t generate true momentum for your business. So, how can industry leaders and their marketing teams develop the right brand strategy that aligns their positioning with buyer expectations?
That’s why we’re talking to Matt Wolfe (Partner and Director of Brand Strategy, brand3), who shared his expertise and insights into how the right brand strategy drives long-term business growth. In this episode, Matt elaborated on the critical differences between brand strategy and marketing tactics for B2B companies. He highlighted how an effective brand strategy includes empathy, deep customer research, and telling the story from the customer’s perspective. Matt stressed the need for a well-crafted narrative that resonates with the target audience, ultimately leading to increased trust and long-term growth. He also talked about the power of human-centric storytelling in marketing, and suggested that founders be more authentic and visible in their communications. Stick around until the end as Matt details his proven framework for helping businesses scale beyond referrals by injecting a more human and trustworthy element into your B2B marketing.
Ep. 226: Generate Long-Term Growth by Increasing Your AI Search Visibility
2026/08/19
Traditional search engine volume is experiencing a structural decline as AI chatbots and generative answer engines redefine how buyers seek solutions. Despite this massive shift toward generative discovery, many B2B organizations are still relying on outdated organic playbooks, resulting in a decrease in their organic search visibility. How can B2B marketing teams adapt their digital strategy to maintain organic dominance and capture market share in an AI-first search environment?
In this episode, we sit down with Jenna Hannon, Founder of Hatter, who shared actionable strategies to drive long-term growth by increasing your AI search visibility. Jenna broke down the critical transition from legacy SEO to Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) powered by generative search models. She analyzed the operational impact of changing search behavior and why broad keyword targeting is losing ground to hyper-specific user prompts. Jenna also explained how large language models (LLMs) parse context to surface authoritative B2B solutions, while outlining the diminishing influence of traditional backlink building. Finally, Jenna delivered her proven framework for optimizing B2B content for generative engines and elaborated on the precise metrics growth teams must track to measure success.
Ep. 225: Proven Ways to Build Life Sciences Buyer Trust for Predictable Growth
2026/08/05
How can marketing teams in the life science vertical show up stronger online and drive higher organic visibility for their organizations? Operating in a heavily-regulated industry where market competition is intense, many life science marketing teams stay quite busy, yet their pipelines are quiet, hampering long-term business growth? How can life science leaders bridge this gap and turn things around?
That’s why we’re talking to Lauren Schafer (Founder, Lake House Digital Media), who shares proven ways to build life sciences buyer trust for predictable growth. In this episode, Lauren discussed the high-impact strategies for building deep authority and trust in the life science industry. She highlighted the value of uncovering specific client pain points and tailoring marketing approaches without being too generic. Lauren also stressed the significance of LinkedIn for B2B marketing, noting that decision-makers often conduct independent vendor research on the platform. She advised maintaining an up-to-date profile, using background banners effectively, and how you can be active and responsive on the platform. Lauren also emphasized the value of providing transparent marketing analytics dashboards to demonstrate accountability and ROI, essential for leadership buy-in.
Ep. 224: How to Optimize B2B Marketing Performance with Proven Strategic Alliances
2026/07/29
We often treat macroeconomics and B2B marketing as two completely separate ecosystems that function on entirely different levels and scale. However, if you look closer at the underlying factors such as silos, transactional friction, supply chain bottlenecks, and trust gaps, you’ll realise how striking the parallels are. Have you ever considered how high-level macroeconomic policies actually mirror the daily execution battles fought within B2B marketing departments? How can B2B leaders extract these macro-level insights to solve operational challenges, streamline campaign execution, build market authority, and generate better results?
In this solo episode, Christian Klepp (Host of the B2B Marketers on a Mission Podcast) shared his core strategic takeaways from the Rebuilding Alliances / Reconstruire des alliances event in Toronto. He translated complex macroeconomic frameworks into actionable strategies for B2B marketing teams. Christian talked about the importance of removing internal silos to drive cross-functional collaboration, eliminating buyer friction throughout the sales funnel, and create strategic co-marketing partnerships. He also elaborated on treating data like an organisation’s “critical minerals” and how to leverage internal subject matter experts (SMEs) to establish greater industry credibility. Finally, Christian stressed the value of employer branding in talent acquisition, and why building organisational trust while defending the marketing mandate is critical.This episode was sponsored by the Economic Club of Canada.
Ep. 223: How to Transform Your B2B Website into a Revenue-Generating Machine
2026/07/22
A B2B company’s website is so much more than a passive “digital shop window.” When engineered and promoted strategically, it can help you establish category credibility, capture high-intent demand, generate qualified leads, and ultimately, build pipeline. Unfortunately, many B2B companies still treat their website like a digital brochure, leading to prospect drop-off and leaking revenue without the marketing teams even realizing it. So, how can marketing leaders address this critical issue and turn their websites into one of their company’s best-performing revenue assets?
That’s why we’re talking to Cameron LiButti (Founder, Bidview Marketing), who shared real-world case studies and his signature framework for how to transform your B2B website into a revenue-generating machine.

Cameron also discussed the value of mobile optimization and high-converting calls to action (CTAs) to improve the user experience. He also stressed the significance of aligning branding with the businesses identity and values, and cited exampled from medical and legal practices.

2026/06/24

What they should do is view the website as a core revenue engine, where everything from messaging, page layouts, and UX decisions directly accelerate sales-qualified leads, demo booking quality, and pipeline velocity. So, how can B2B SaaS companies design high-converting websites that capture high-intent demand and generate predictable, long-term revenue?
That’s why we’re talking to Sahil Patel (CEO, Spiralyze) to unlock data-backed strategies on how to transform B2B SaaS website traffic into predictable revenue.

Ep. 218: How to Win the Attention Game in Higher Education
2026/05/28
The higher education space in the U.S. is facing a monumental crisis that has little do to with academic quality. With student enrollments declining, small colleges closing, and prestigious institutions scrambling to fill seats, the root issue lies in digital invisibility. Colleges and institutions aren’t losing because of the quality of education they offer, but because their higher education marketing strategies are outdated and unable to capture the attention of students in a radically different world. So, how can enrollment and marketing teams help with visibility and attention in a highly distracted world?
That’s why we’re talking to Chris Rapozo (Associate Vice-President, Stamats) and Rob Clark (Founder, TTF Media), who share proven strategies on how to win the attention game in higher education. During our conversation, they underscore the critical value of producing intentional, platform-native content across social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.

The business environment around us is changing quickly, and the retail sector is no exception. Canadian businesses continue to face significant challenges, from rising costs and evolving consumer expectations to rapid technological advances in AI intense global competition. So how can Canadian CMOs and retail professionals thrive despite these challenges, welcome to this episode of the B2B Marketers in a Mission Podcast, and I’m your host, Christian Klepp, today I’ll discuss what I’ve learned from a recent retail conference I attended and provide some key takeaways. I also wanted you to know that this episode is sponsored by the Economic Club of Canada. Okay, let’s dive in.
So at the end of February, I attended a DX3 retail reinvented conference in downtown Toronto. It was an event where leaders, marketers and executives congregated to discuss challenges and opportunities that shape the future of retail in Canada. And today, I wanted to take you through my key learnings from that event to help you better position your teams for success. The DX3 conference covered a broad spectrum of topics essential for any CMO or retail professional today. So they cover the following topics, emerging market trends and the new shopper, reality, social commerce and the power of authentic content, retail media and its growing influence, Canadian identity branding in a globalized world, and also strategic leveraging of AI on the channels and sustainability to remain competitive so and as a B2B Marketer, I think it was really eye opening, you know, to hear how colleagues in the broader retail and B2B marketing ecosystem are managing these shifts and getting up to speed with new technologies also to help them thrive, right?
One of the most prominent topics was, unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence, or AI. So there was the opening presenter, who was Adam Froman of Delvina, who set a powerful tone by stating, The next Tech tsunami isn’t coming. It’s already here. So some of the critical takeaways from Adam’s session on leveraging AI as a silent Copilot were as follows. So one was about closing the gap, right? So AI collapses that divide between knowing something and acting upon it, right? So it allows us to analyze customer insights, but it also helps us to optimize things like pricing, to create tailored experiences that competitors can’t easily replicate.
Then there was that second topic that he talked about, with regards to operational intelligence and how you can use or leverage AI for inventory forecasting, task prioritization and also staff optimization. So it’s time to ditch those manual SOPs (Standard Operating Procedure) to reduce volatility and eliminate inefficiencies. The third one was a human element, so I think that almost goes without saying, right? So he’s not saying not to use AI, but he’s saying, while we should be embracing AI to stay ahead, we shouldn’t lose sight of our brand values, right? So as marketers, we need to inject the human element to ensure the customer trust is still there and it remains intact and isn’t jeopardized by faceless technology, right? So that was the first presentation.
There was another one, which was a really interesting panel, and it was moderated by Jason Hunt of Merged Media that featured guests, Adrian Fuoco from Pizza pizza, and Tanya Kreinin from the University of Toronto. So they focused on the biggest threats and opportunities for Canadian retail, CMOs. So they had really practical but also hard hitting advice. And what do I mean by that, right? So they they talked about things like authentic content, right? So they suggested like for marketers in their campaigns to leverage micro and nano influencers. And why? Because authentic moment...

Founders think about the go to market as a post, post activity, versus doing it early on, so meaning they are really of over focus on technology alone and thinking when the talk technology will be the product will be launched, that’s when the customers will come, especially like if the founders are engineers or coming from the medical background, this is the domain. This is where the this is the comfort zone. So they are really focusing on the technology. And that’s true, this is like bigger competitive advantage, but the commercial part, getting really early on understanding who are the market, what’s the feedback, even integrating that into a building technology so important.
Christian Klepp 00:43
Most B2B tech startups hit a wall when founder-led marketing stalls growth. When they analyze where they went wrong, they almost always assume they have a demand problem. But when you look deeper, you realize that their real pain point lies in their positioning and go to market architecture. So how can B2B startups fix their positioning architecture problem to ignite more robust and sustainable growth? Welcome to this episode of the B2B Marketers on a Mission podcast, and I’m your host, Christian Klepp, today, I’ll be talking to Adrijana Daragon, who will be answering this question. She’s the founder at Go To Market (GTM) Advantage, who helps turn go to market into a predictable pipeline and revenue for B2B tech startups. Let’s dive right in. Okay, and off we go. I’m gonna say, Adrijana Daragon, welcome to the show.
Adrijana Daragon 01:30
Hello. Thank you. Thank you for having me, Christian.
Christian Klepp 01:33
Great to be connected again, Adrijana. And I’m gonna say thank you to Anna Wondany from Hey CMO, for connecting us. And I’m really looking forward to this conversation, because we’re going to talk about something that, on the surface doesn’t seem like it’s extremely important, but we’re going to start unpacking that, and then we’ll realize like, oh, wow, we really should be paying attention to this. Take some notes, learn and be inspired no?
Adrijana Daragon 01:58
Yes, true. I’m really excited about it, and I can see really quite some founders can benefit from this knowledge.
Christian Klepp 02:05
Absolutely, absolutely. So if you don’t mind, we’ll, we’ll just jump straight in, and I’ll ask you the first question. So you’re, I’m going to say, on a mission to help B2B Tech scale ups, grow and increase their inbound leads. But for this conversation, I’d like to focus on this following topic, and then we can unpack it from there. So the topic is how B2B startups can fix their positioning architecture problem. Now that sounds like a really fancy marketing term, but we’re going to unpack it now and then everybody will realize, like, how crucial this actually is. So I’m going to kick off this conversation with the following question. So Adrijana, in our previous conversation, you mentioned that most B2B startups think they have a demand problem, but in reality, when you dig deeper, what they actually have is a positioning and go to market architecture problem. So can you please explain that?
Adrijana Daragon 02:56
Sure. So it’s highly depends on the stage the startup scale up is it’s different challenges. There are different challenges at the beginning, when there is early stage. Startup is about just doing different tests, trying the founders, typically the one that driving the sales and marketing efforts and connecting, getting the early feedback, validating it afterwards, when it starts to be already, you gain traction. You know, you had a successful especially in deep tech. It’s a lot about the pilot, securing both successful pilots, moving from the pilots to for to the ongoing client relationships. That’s when the it’s becomes much more about challenge of not only trying, testing different activities, but really seeing how what really makes sense, because there are a lot of challenges when you have a lot of activities, but we don’t bring the results, we don’t bring the revenue You want, and that’s especially when I work with startups. When we have both convers...
