B2B Sites Are Failing Buyers. Let’s Fix That—Without Rebuilding

It’s time to rethink how B2B websites serve their most important visitor: the buyer.

Walk into any B2B website and you’ll likely encounter a paradox. Despite offering just a handful of products or solutions, many companies end up with sprawling websites—often 500+ pages deep. And yet, the one thing a buyer is looking for is buried under layers of navigation, gated PDFs, and fragmented blog posts.

It’s not a content problem. It’s a discovery problem.

Why B2B Websites Are Broken

Take Amazon as a counterpoint. With over 300 million products, it still delivers what you need in seconds. You make the purchase decision in the first 2 pages - result - Amazon product listings convert at an average rate of 10–15%, with Prime members converting at over 70%.
That’s no accident—it's the result of powerful search, AI-driven recommendations, and a relentless focus on buyer intent.

Now compare that to most B2B websites:

• Fewer than 10 actual products
• Hundreds of scattered content pieces
• Conversions hovering around 3–4%

That’s a usability gap. And it's costing you pipeline.

“But Amazon Is Transactional. B2B Isn’t.”

True—Amazon is a transactional marketplace. But let’s zoom out.

Every Amazon visit starts the same way a B2B visit does: A buyer with a need, a problem, or an idea in their head.

Amazon’s strength lies in its ability to connect that intent to the right answer—quickly and intuitively. That’s the real lesson.

B2B websites should operate the same way.
Not as static brochures, but as dynamic tools that understand visitor intent and surface the most relevant solution—whether that’s a product, a case study, a pricing model, or a proof point.

In both cases, speed to relevance drives action.
The intent may differ—but the expectation? The same.

The Hidden Cost of Underutilized Content

CMOs today are investing up to 40% of their budget in content—web pages, whitepapers, webinars, case studies. But according to SiriusDecisions, 60–70% of that content never gets used.

Not because it isn’t good. But because it isn’t findable.

And now, with tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, buyers expect instant answers, not endless page views. If your website doesn’t deliver, they bounce—or worse, turn to competitors who do.

AI Is Changing the Game for B2B

The new wave of AI doesn’t just allow better search—it enables a fundamental redesign of how buyers experience your site.

1. Multimodal support: B2B content comes in many formats—blogs, videos, PDFs, product pages—and AI can now unify that into a single interface.
2. Personalized discovery: Instead of showing everyone the same homepage, we can dynamically surface the most relevant content for each visitor based on intent.
3. Prompt-based engagement: Unlike B2C, B2B users rarely log in. But AI-powered prompts can now infer intent in real-time, reducing the need for forms and friction.

The Real Threat: An Internet of Garbage

As content creation gets cheaper with AI, the web is getting noisier. The challenge ahead isn’t creating content—it’s discovering the right content at the right time.
