Transforming Customer Support in B2B With AI Assistants

Recent industry data reveals that over 60% of B2B decision-makers now initiate solution discovery through conversational AI search, and more than half trust answers citing brands they recognize. This landscape demands that your customer support, marketing, and knowledge be visible and cited across AI platforms, or risk being overlooked when customers are ready to engage.

You face rising customer expectations and shifting buying patterns, but static support channels and scattered information hold you back. This is where WebriQ emerges as a transformative partner, helping you deliver consistent responses, measure where you are cited, and optimize for both human and AI-driven discovery.
