April 10, 2026

B2B marketers pay to promote content in AI-powered search through sponsored answers, paid placements, and retargeting tied to AI-driven discovery. In 2026, this often includes testing ads in AI chat interfaces (for example, ChatGPT advertising) alongside classic paid search and LinkedIn promotion that feeds AI-informed journeys.
