This is a timely read. 

Also, if you're curious how your company shows up on LLMs, let me know. 

We built an AI Market Presence Analyzer tool that shows you exactly how major AI platforms see your business. And how you compare to your competitors. It's free and we can run the report instantly.

My days are filled with a substantial amount of espresso and the thrill of working with amazing clients and an incredibly talented team.

I have built multiple companies and I’m currently the Co-Founder of DivvyHQ. Voted the “#1 Content Marketing Platform,” DivvyHQ makes it incredibly easy for global marketing and content teams to plan, produce, and publish high-quality content more efficiently. Global marketing teams at brands like McDonald's, Lowe’s, H&R Block, Virgin Mobile, Pfizer, Olive Garden, Mercedes-Benz, National Geographic, and Aflac use DivvyHQ to organize their team and content marketing efforts.

Prior to DivvyHQ, I was the Founder of Brockton Creative Group, a trailblazing digital agency specializing in content strategy, branding, content marketing, website and custom software development. Brockton Creative Group was acquired after 10 years in business.

There's a research memo making the rounds right now that paints a pretty terrifying picture of the next two years...

You've probably come across other AI doomsday articles, but this one dug deep into the macroeconomics of what could go down. As AI improvements accelerate, white-collar jobs disappear. Consumer spending drops. Credit markets crack. Entire business models are wiped out.

Whether that timeline is right is anyone's guess. But here's what's NOT a guess...

Your buyers are already using AI to research, compare, and build shortlists. And unlike Google, there's no link back to your site. The buyer has a conversation, gets their answer, and never visits your website. You never know it happened.

We've been digging into this with mid-market B2B companies and three problems keep showing up:

✅ Invisibility: AI doesn't mention you at all. You're not even in the room.

✅ Misrepresentation: AI mentions you but gets the story wrong. Old positioning. Muddled differentiation. Cool cool cool.

✅ Commoditization: AI describes you the exact same way it describes your competitors. Price becomes the only conversation.

The kicker? These risks exist whether you're paying attention to AI or not.

You don't opt in to AI visibility. You either shape it, or it shapes you.

I wrote a full breakdown of what we're seeing and what to do about it. Link in the comments.
