THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE

What isAI Search Intelligence?

The new category that unifies Google Ads and Bing Ads into one AI-driven system for B2B SaaS pipeline growth

Quick Answer: AI Search Intelligence is Hendricks.AI's revolutionary approach that treats Google and Bing as one unified market. Using AI to predict demand 2-4 weeks early (74% accuracy), prove incrementality, and optimize Performance Max campaigns, it delivers 312% average ROI for B2B SaaS companies.

The $50B Problem with Search Advertising

Why Traditional Search Management Fails B2B SaaS

  • Siloed Platforms:

    Google and Bing managed separately, competing against each other (and you)

  • Reactive Optimization:

    Always 2-3 weeks behind market demand, missing opportunities

  • Attribution Theater:

    Last-click lies that don't prove real incrementality or pipeline impact

  • Performance Max Black Box:

    No visibility or control over where budget actually goes

The Hidden Costs

Wasted budget from channel competition-40%
Missed demand opportunities-67%
False attribution reporting±45%
Management overhead2X

True Attribution & Incrementality Testing

Multi-Touch Attribution for B2B

Move beyond last-click lies with attribution that understands B2B buying committees:

  • • Account-based attribution across multiple stakeholders
  • • 6-12 month lookback windows for long sales cycles
  • • Weighted touchpoints based on pipeline progression
  • • Integration with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Marketo

Incrementality Testing That Matters

Prove which marketing activities actually drive incremental pipeline:

  • • Geo-based holdout experiments
  • • Synthetic control groups for B2B
  • • Time-based on/off testing
  • • Statistical significance for CFO confidence

The Result: CFO-Ready Proof of ROI

Connect every dollar spent on Google and Bing directly to pipeline and ARR. No more "influenced" revenue—just proven, incremental impact.

Why Hendricks.AI Created This Category

After managing $100M+ in search spend and leading global search at SolarWinds, our founder Brandon Lincoln Hendricks saw the same problems everywhere:

  • • B2B companies treating Google and Bing as separate worlds
  • • Reacting to last month's data while opportunities pass by
  • • Attribution theater that doesn't prove real impact
  • • Performance Max eating budget with no accountability

So we built something different: AI Search Intelligence.

Common Questions About AI Search Intelligence

How is this different from regular PPC management?

Traditional PPC management is reactive and channel-specific. AI Search Intelligence is predictive and unified. We see demand 2-4 weeks early, orchestrate Google and Bing as one market, and prove true incrementality—not just report on clicks.

Do you work with agencies or replace them?

Both. Some clients use our predictive intelligence and attribution alongside their agency's execution. Others move everything to our unified system. We're not a traditional agency—we're an intelligence layer that makes any approach more effective.

What results can I expect?

Our clients average: 61% reduction in cost-per-lead, 312% ROI improvement, 2.3X more qualified pipeline, and 74% accuracy in demand prediction. Results vary by industry and spend level.

How long does implementation take?

Demand Radar (prediction) launches in 2 weeks. ROI Audit (attribution) takes 4-6 weeks. Full unified execution typically phases in over 8-12 weeks. You see value from day one.

What's required from my team?

Access to Google Ads, Bing Ads, and your CRM. Weekly 30-minute strategy calls. That's it. Our AI does the heavy lifting.
