Max Performance Group announces B2B visibility guide addressing zero-click searches and AI Overviews. Firebranz service offers content syndication on high-authority media sites to help SMBs maintain search visibility and brand authority.
-- Recent industry research indicates that approximately 60% of searches now conclude without clicks, a trend accelerated by the proliferation of AI-generated search summaries. Data from multiple 2024-2025 studies show that searches displaying AI Overviews experience significantly reduced click-through rates—dropping to approximately 8% compared to 15% for traditional results. Analysis of over 3,000 search terms across dozens of organizations revealed that organic click-through rates for B2B queries featuring AI Overviews declined from 1.76% to 0.61%, representing a 61% decrease. This shift has emerged as a significant challenge for B2B small and medium-sized businesses, with many watching their organic reach decline as search algorithms and artificial intelligence reshape the digital landscape.

Industry data suggests that 85% of B2B buyers complete their research before direct engagement, yet 60% of searches now end without progression to a website. AI Overviews tend to cite established brands with high domain authority, often leaving smaller competitors less visible in the decision-making process. Recent findings indicate that 89% of B2B buyers now incorporate generative AI tools in their purchasing process, with approximately 50% beginning their research on platforms like ChatGPT or Perplexity rather than traditional search engines. This behavioral shift can exclude smaller players from AI-driven decision-making, as algorithms often favor high-authority sources that resource-limited SMBs may struggle to match.
Despite these challenges, brands cited within AI Overviews can gain measurable advantages. Research suggests that cited brands may earn higher organic and paid click rates than those not featured in AI summaries. The visibility landscape now centers not solely on ranking first in search results, but on being cited in AI-generated summaries and appearing on what industry observers call high-trust, high-traffic media properties—platforms that search algorithms tend to favor. This concept of borrowed authority, where appearing on authoritative platforms signals credibility to both AI systems and human searchers, has emerged as a counter-strategy to zero-click dominance.
Content syndication on authoritative media platforms has become a proven response. Data indicates that 89% of B2B marketers use syndication for lead generation, and that syndication can drive backlinks from authoritative sites, improving search rankings and organic traffic. Max Performance Group, Inc., through its Firebranz service, offers "done for you" multimedia content syndication on high-authority sites including USA Today, Business Insider, and sites indexed by Google News. By placing content on media properties with domain authority scores ranging from 84 to 99 and millions of monthly visitors, the service positions B2B SMBs to gain the perceived authority of larger brands without equivalent budgets, increasing the likelihood of being cited in AI summaries and capturing indirect leads.
Case studies demonstrate that B2B SMBs can adapt in the zero-click economy by refining their visibility and engagement strategies. One SaaS client achieved a 2x shorter sales cycle by tracking signals across multiple channels, while an AI orchestration platform boosted close rates to 40-60%—compared to an industry benchmark of 25%—through community engagement and high-value search intent focus. Freedom Home Care LLC, a nursing and home health care services company, expanded from one location in 2014 to three locations by 2023, attributing growth to consistent exposure and visibility from onsite and offsite content marketing and local marketing syndication services. These outcomes illustrate that smaller businesses can compete when they use a content strategy that includes blog marketing on their websites and syndication to appear on trusted media sites that AI systems may reference and cite.
Max Performance Group, Inc. has released a new B2B visibility strategies guide in direct response to the zero-click challenge, tailored for small and medium-sized businesses navigating the 2025-2026 search landscape. The guide provides actionable strategies to maintain and enhance visibility despite zero-click trends and AI Overviews. Firebranz operationalizes these strategies by offering full service content creation and multimedia syndication on six or more high-authority sites, each with millions of visitors and high domain authority. The service aims to boost reputation, recover organic traffic, and support sales growth through authority positioning, helping businesses become a preferred choice in their markets.
