The phrase "people trust people" is often used in marketing.

But where does it actually come from? Why do we trust recommendations more than ads?

LLMs are quoting LinkedIn posts. Is yours one of them?

Meltwater analysed 9.5 million AI citations across six major models, and the pattern is hard to ignore:

→ LinkedIn is the #2 most cited source in AI answers, behind only YouTube
→ 75% of citations come from individual profiles, not company pages
→ Only 12% of cited content is over a year old

So when a buyer asks AI a B2B question, the answer is increasingly built from posts written by experts who publish consistently.
Get your experts posting... Don't have go-to internal experts comfortable with social content? That's where business influencers and external thought leaders as partners come in.

Swipe for the full breakdown and save it for later!
