Informa TechTarget has launched two new content strategy solutions—the AI Visibility Audit and the GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) Topic Planner—to help B2B technology and services brands adapt to the rise of zero-click search and AI-powered buyer journeys.

  • Up to 60% of online searches now end without a click, causing B2B website traffic declines as buyers use AI tools to shortlist vendors before direct brand engagement.
  • Informa TechTarget grew its tech and business audiences in 2025, quadrupling AI-driven membership and increasing AI-referred traffic to its media sites by 235%.
  • The AI Visibility Audit analyzes how AI systems surface brands, identifies visibility/accuracy gaps, and delivers an actionable roadmap to enhance discoverability and authority.
  • The GEO Topic Planner aligns content strategies with AI engine preferences to build topical authority, reduce wasted marketing spend, and improve relevance in answer engines.
  • Solutions draw from Informa TechTarget’s buyer intent signals, market insights, content expertise, and its own success in AI audience engagement as a publisher.
  • Addresses the zero-click shift, where B2B buyers adopt AI-powered search three times faster than consumers, requiring optimized content for LLMs like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini.

The shift to AI-driven research means buyers increasingly rely on generative answer engines for vendor discovery and shortlisting, bypassing traditional search engine clicks and brand websites. This trend, sometimes called zero-click search, demands new approaches to visibility and trust-building in AI ecosystems.

Informa TechTarget’s solutions are built on its deep expertise in content strategy, demand intelligence, and AI, combined with exclusive first-party audience and intent data from its portfolio of targeted media brands such as Dark Reading, Cybersecurity Dive, and Computer Weekly.

AI Visibility Audit: Mapping Brand Presence in AI

The AI Visibility Audit evaluates how target audiences encounter a brand through AI systems. It uncovers gaps in visibility, factual accuracy, and authority, then provides a prioritized roadmap of improvements to strengthen brand presence and trust in generative responses.

GEO Topic Planner: Strategic Content Alignment

The GEO Topic Planner helps brands develop content plans optimized for how AI engines evaluate and prioritize information. By focusing on topical depth, quality signals, and evolving LLM preferences, it enables more efficient content creation that drives authority without redundant efforts.

Expertise and Execution Through Studio by Informa TechTarget

These solutions integrate with Studio by Informa TechTarget, a full-service multimedia content studio combining strategic guidance, technology expertise, and creative talent from merged capabilities including studioID and BrightTALK Studios. The team produces videos, podcasts, events, reports, and more to deliver compelling human-centered stories optimized for AI discovery.

“B2B organizations have only just begun to tap into the transformative potential of AI to drive innovation in products, services, and customer engagement. As the indispensable growth partner to the B2B sector, Informa TechTarget is committed to ensuring our client partners are at the forefront of this pivotal shift,” said Gary Nugent, CEO of Informa TechTarget.

“Marketers are seeing the need and opportunity to leverage AI search as a channel to drive prospect engagement, but not everyone has the expertise, data, and tools to do so effectively yet,” said Jane Qin Medeiros, General Manager, Brand to Demand, Informa TechTarget.

“Brands need a partner who understands not just how LLMs evaluate and recommend information, but also how to actually create quality content, or update existing content, that will be deemed valuable by these LLMs—while still telling a compelling human story,” said Mandi Tompkins, Head of Studio by Informa TechTarget.

Mandi Tompkins will discuss AI-ready content strategies in the webinar “Search, Disrupted: Demystifying GEO for the Zero-Click Shift” featuring Forrester Principal Analyst Lisa Gately on Thursday, March 19th at 8:00 am EDT. Register at the event page.
