    2.3 Conversation Patterns – Map Follow-Up Questions to Win AI Citations

    Discover how to architect your content around natural conversation flows so AI systems keep citing you across multiple dialogue turns. In this episode, Gary Crossey reveals the conversation design patterns that transform isolated content pieces into interconnected knowledge networks that AI assistants love. AI doesn't think in pages—it thinks in conversations. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI a question, the system doesn't just find one answer and stop. It anticipates follow-ups, looks for deeper context, and tries to maintain conversational continuity. If your content speaks that language, you become the persistent source across the entire conversation thread. In this episode, you'll learn: How to map natural question progressions and follow-up funnelsThe art of conversation-aware internal linking that guides AI systemsTechniques for testing your conversation patterns with real AI systemsCommon pitfalls that break conversation architecturePractical answers to your burning questions in our Q&A Lightning RoundThis week's actionable takeaway: Choose your single most important piece of content and create a conversation flow map. Identify the top 5 natural follow-up questions, check if you have quality content addressing each one, and update your original piece with strategic internal links using conversation-aware anchor text. Referenced in this episode: Episode 6 (Conversation Design) and Episode 2 (Question-Based Content) lay the foundational concepts we're building on today. Next week: Episode 2.4 dives into RAG-Aware Content Patterns—how LLMs chunk, embed, and retrieve content, and how to structure yours to survive the process.
