In 2026, over 65% of B2B software discovery occurs via AI agents rather than traditional search. This playbook provides a structured 12-week framework to ensure expense management brands like yours are the first choice recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. By focusing on structured data, conversational authority, and high-quality third-party citations, brands can shift from being 'indexed' to being 'recommended'.
