The Dos and Don'ts of Using AI in Your B2B Content Marketing Efforts

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way B2B marketers approach content marketing. With AI-powered content creation tools, marketers can generate personalized, high-quality content at scale, saving time and resources. However, as with any emerging technology, there are best practices to follow and pitfalls to avoid when integrating AI into your content marketing efforts. In this blog post, we'll explore the dos and don'ts of using AI in your B2B content marketing strategy.

Do: Use AI to enhance, not replace, human creativity

AI is a powerful tool for generating content quickly and efficiently, but it should not be seen as a replacement for human creativity. Instead, AI-powered content creation tools should be used to enhance human creativity by providing data-driven insights and automating repetitive tasks. Use AI to generate initial drafts or outlines, but make sure to have a human editor review and refine the content to ensure it aligns with your brand voice and messaging.

Don't: Rely solely on AI-generated content

While AI-generated content can save time and resources, it should not be relied on exclusively for your content marketing efforts. Incorporating a mix of human-generated and AI-generated content can help maintain a balance between efficiency and creativity. Additionally, human-generated content can add a personal touch and emotional connection that AI-generated content may lack.

Do: Use AI to personalize content for your target audience

One of the main advantages of AI-powered content creation is the ability to generate personalized content at scale. Use AI to analyze data on your target audience, such as their demographics, behaviors, and preferences, to create content that resonates with them. Personalized content can improve engagement and conversions by making your audience feel seen and understood.

Don't: Sacrifice quality for quantity

While AI can generate content quickly, it's important to maintain high standards of quality. Avoid sacrificing quality for quantity by setting clear guidelines and standards for the content generated by AI-powered tools. Use metrics such as engagement and conversion rates to measure the effectiveness of AI-generated content and adjust accordingly.

Do: Continuously test and refine your AI-powered content

AI-powered content creation tools can provide valuable insights into what works and what doesn't in your content marketing strategy. Continuously test and refine your AI-generated content by analyzing metrics and incorporating feedback from your audience. Use A/B testing to compare the effectiveness of human-generated and AI-generated content, and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Don't: Neglect the ethical implications of AI in content marketing

As with any technology, AI-powered content creation tools come with ethical considerations. Make sure to follow best practices for data privacy and security when using AI, and be transparent with your audience about how AI is being used in your content marketing efforts. Additionally, be aware of the potential biases and limitations of AI and take steps to address them.

AI-powered content creation tools can be a valuable asset for B2B marketers looking to improve efficiency and personalization in their content marketing efforts. By following best practices and avoiding common pitfalls, you can leverage AI to enhance human creativity, personalize content for your target audience, and continuously improve your content marketing strategy.

Hear from leading experts

"I take a broad view of ABM: if you're targeting a specific set of accounts and tailoring engagement based on what you know about them, you're doing it. But most teams are stuck in the old loop: Sales hands Marketing a list, Marketing runs ads, and any response is treated as intent."

Kevin White
Head of GTM Strategy
Common Room

"ABM has always been just good marketing. It starts with clarity on your ICP and ends with driving revenue. But the way we get from A to B has changed dramatically."

Latané Conant
Chief Revenue Officer
6sense

"ABM either dies or thrives on Sales-Marketing alignment; there's no in-between. When Marketing runs plays on specific accounts or contacts and Sales isn't doing complementary outreach, the whole thing falls short."

Michael Pannone
Director of Global Demand Generation
G2

"In our research at 6sense, few marketers view ABM as critical to hitting revenue goals this year. But that's not because ABM doesn't work; it's because most teams haven't implemented it well."

Kerry Cunningham
Head of Research & Thought Leadership
6sense

"To me, ABM isn't a campaign; it's a go-to-market operating model. It starts with cross-functional planning: mapping revenue targets, territories, and board priorities."

Corrina Owens
Fractional ABM
Orum

"With AI, we can personalize not just by account, but by segment, by buying group, and even by individual. That level of precision just wasn't possible a few years ago."

Guy Yalif
Chief Evangelist
Webflow
