Hack AI Search with YouTube

Software buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for recos instead of clicking through search results.

So, we need to start thinking beyond blog posts and start creating video content designed to answer the questions buyers are already asking.

Why? Because AI tools love structured, educational content. YouTube videos come with titles, descriptions, chapters, and transcripts that AI systems can easily parse, summarize, and cite.

Recent analyses found that YouTube is cited far more frequently than other video platforms and appears in a significant share of AI-generated search results.

For B2B SaaS, marketers should focus on content that directly answers buyer questions, demos products, and explains concepts clearly. Highly specific tutorials and comparison videos are particularly effective because AI systems can pull relevant sections directly from transcripts and timestamps.

A few video formats worth prioritizing:

  • Product comparison videos
  • Step-by-step tutorials
  • Feature walkthroughs
  • ā€œBest software forā€¦ā€ listicles
  • Customer use cases and case studies
  • FAQ videos

New Bing Webmaster Tools

Speaking of AI visibility, Microsoft is making it a lot easier to measure with new updates to Bing Webmaster Tools.

Citation Share shows what percentage of all citations for a specific query belong to your site. It’s an observational metric, not a scorecard, but it provides a useful gauge of AI visibility over time.

Intents classify grounding queries into categories like research, comparison, planning, and informational searches, while Topics group related queries into broader themes.

Plus, Compare allows you to view changes across time periods, making it easier to spot trends, seasonality, or the impact of content updates on AI visibility.

Take a Knick Day

ICYMI, there’s a parade happening in NYC today that’s kind of a BFD.

After waiting more than 50 years for an NBA championship, Knicks fans finally have something to celebrate.

Mother New York’s stunt campaign gives fans a medically approved excuse to skip work and join the fun.

Through a dedicated website, New Yorkers can generate personalized doctor’s notes diagnosing them with a case of ā€œKnicks Feverā€ and recommending immediate attendance at the parade.

Mother even created a fictional medical expert who warns that symptoms include excessive smiling, difficulty focusing on non-basketball tasks, and an overwhelming urge to wear blue and orange.
