  • AI Search Playbook: How to Rank in 2026
    Feb 3 2026

    ⚡️ High-Converting Websites Visual Swipe File:

    https://www.mmgdesign.net/visualswipefile


    In this episode of Marketing by Design Michelle Bourbonniere breaks down how AI search actually works under the hood — in plain English. We unpack the five-step process (prompt → personalization → expansion → draft → linking), why AI citations are often unreliable, and what B2B marketers should do instead of obsessing over links. If you care about being recommended by OpenAI, Google AI Mode, or Perplexity AI, this is the “stop guessing, start engineering” playbook.
