If search becomes a chat, generic expertise gets weaker. The machine does not need another page saying B2B growth is changing. It needs sources with dates, examples, definitions, benchmarks, and actual operating evidence. That is good news for operators.

In an answer-engine world, being specific is not just better writing. It is distribution infrastructure.
