Subtitle
Digital Marketing & SEO teams will be involved in most AI Discoverability solution discussions as champions and/or decision makers. They are typically leading their in-house AEO strategy and have the greatest subject matter expertise. This team may, or may not, have budget to spend - they often have limited budgets available beyond core agency retainers. Ask questions early to understand who may be the budget holder.
Marketing Leadership will typically be an influencer during these evaluations. Their level of involvement will vary depending on the size of the business and the importance of AI Discoverability.

Demand Generation teams could play just about any role in these decisions, depending on how the marketing team is structured and where budgets lie. In some cases they may defer entirely to the Digital Marketing team, while in other cases they may act as the champion, decision maker, and/or budget holder.
