  Sep 24, 20264 min

  Outcomes Rocket analyzed 5,472 citations across four web-enabled AI models answering health-related prompts, and the results upend how healthcare brands think about content authority. Saul Marquez walks through why health media outcited peer-reviewed research, why 40% of citations came from 2025 content, and the twenty-minute audit that tells you whether AI systems can find your brand at all. Key takeaways: 5,472 citations analyzed across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity on health-related prompts Nearly 60% of citations came from summaries and health media rather than peer-reviewed research Commercial and affiliate content (23%) outcited academic and research sources (under 25% combined) 40% of all cited sources were published in 2025, with sharp dropoff for older material Forrester: 89% of B2B buyers use generative AI across every stage of the purchase process Rock Health 2025: nearly a third of consumers use AI chatbots for health information, up 16% year over year Do this today: Run the AI Visibility Audit: type your buyer's category question into two or three chatbots and record whether and how you appear Audit six months of content output; if more than 70% published on your own domain, fix distribution before producing more Links: Read the complete article here

  Weekly Insight: AI Didn't Make Your Marketing Generic. It Exposed That It Always Was.

  Sep 17, 20263 min

  Adobe reported a 57% engagement lift from an AI-selected creative treatment. Saul Marquez explains why that number can rise while your market position erodes, using a 2024 Science Advances study in which AI-assisted writers produced better stories that were also more similar to each other. For healthcare marketers, the collapse of the production barrier means positioning is now the only thing left to compete on. Key takeaways: A 2024 Science Advances study of 293 writers found AI assistance raised individual creativity while reducing collective novelty Adobe's reported 57% engagement uplift measures immediate response, not defensibility or comprehension Platforms reward easy-to-process creativity, so repeated optimization can strip the precision that made an idea distinctive The WHO has warned that generative systems encourage automation bias, a heightened risk when claims are clinical Scarcity of production talent used to disguise weak positioning; that scarcity is gone Judgment, not output, is now the constrained resource on a marketing team Do this today: Write the one sentence about your market that a direct competitor would refuse to sign Read your last ten assets back to back and check whether the arguments are interchangeable Links: Read the full newsletter for the complete breakdown Adobe Report: Read the Adobe Report on human-centered AI: https://business.adobe.com/blog/the-future-of-marketing-with-human-centered-ai

  Weekly Insight: Your ICP Describes a Market. It Doesn't Describe a Buyer

  Sep 10, 20264 min

  Healthcare converts leads at roughly 13%, and cycles stretch 35% longer when multiple stakeholders have to approve. Saul Marquez argues the root cause sits earlier than most teams look: an ICP built from bed count and EMR platform instead of buying readiness. Here is what a situational ICP looks like and how to rebuild yours from ten deals you already closed. Key takeaways: Average MQL to SQL conversion in healthcare sits near 13%, dragged down by compliance and long approval chains. Multi-stakeholder approval extends buying cycles by about 35%. Two firmographically identical health systems can have opposite buying readiness. Firmographics cannot see the difference. Over 80% of providers saw value-based care contracts grow recently, which is a concrete, dateable buying trigger. Only about a third of providers rate their data integration as excellent, which should narrow the ICP for integration-dependent products. Revenue leaks from broken handoffs and poor routing can cost B2B companies up to $500K annually. Do this today: Pull your last ten to fifteen closed-won deals and document the trigger event for each in one sentence. Add one situational field to your CRM account record and require it before an account enters the target list. Links: Read the full newsletter for the complete breakdown here

  Weekly Insight: Great Open Rate. Zero Replies. Your ABM Is Personalized, Not Relevant.

  Sep 3, 20263 min

  A rep spends two hours personalizing an ABM email, earns a strong open rate, and gets zero replies. Saul Marquez explains why that outcome is a thinking problem rather than a copy problem, and lays out the Specificity Test and the six-question Account Strategy Brief that separate personalization from relevance. Essential listening for teams selling into committees of six to ten healthcare stakeholders. Key takeaways: Personalization signals "I know who you are"; relevance signals "I understand what you're dealing with" Baseline claims (better outcomes, efficiency, digital transformation, cost reduction) are the price of entry, not differentiation Healthcare buying committees routinely include six to ten stakeholders with incompatible evaluation criteria A CFO reads ROI and margin; a CIO reads integration, security, and implementation burden. One message cannot carry both The Specificity Test: strip the name and opening line, then check whether the message could go to any account on the list Hamid Ghanadan of The Linus Group: message from three vantage points, your POV, the market's, and the customer's daily life Do this today: Run the Specificity Test on the last ABM sequence your team sent Answer the six Account Strategy Brief questions before writing any new copy Links: Read the full newsletter for the complete breakdown.

  Weekly Insight: Own Three Topics, Or Stay Replaceable

  Aug 27, 20263 min

  Saul Marquez breaks down why healthcare executives who comment on every headline stay invisible where it counts. 56% of buyers use thought leadership to evaluate vendors, yet most leaders spread themselves across eight topics and own none. Inside: the three-topic system that turns commentary into authority. Key takeaways: 73% of decision-makers trust thought leadership over traditional marketing materials (2024 Edelman-LinkedIn report). 56% of target buyers and 55% of hidden buyers in finance, operations, legal and procurement use it during vendor evaluation. Visibility is not authority. Commenting on every headline makes an executive interchangeable. The three topics to own: a problem customers are already solving, experience nobody can replicate, one change reshaping the market. The test for a defensible topic: could someone write this without having done the work? Do this today: List your last ten posts, sort them by topic, and cut down to the three you own.
