Frequently asked questions

How often does a B2B company have to post?

There is no sensible general minimum number. The cycle must enable professional quality, approvals and a reliable response to queries.

Which metric is most important?

It depends on the goal. For B2B offers, qualified conversations, appropriate queries and understandable next steps are often more meaningful than pure reach.
