In 2026, the primary discovery layer for B2B software has shifted from traditional search engines to AI Assistants and Large Language Models (LLMs). For A/B testing brands, visibility is no longer about keywords, but about 'Concept Association' and 'Citation Density'. This playbook provides a structured 12-week framework to ensure your brand is the first recommendation for queries regarding experimentation, statistical rigor, and conversion optimization.
