summary
Predicts 50% drop by 2028 in traditional search and says LLM-driven “Answer War” traffic converts at 4x higher conversion when you win. Recommends schema-first content modeling, lead-with-the-answer pages, and monitoring prompts; uses Acquia Source (SaaS), Drupal Canvas (prompt-to-publish), and Conductor analytics to map which answers to own. Advises human-in-the-loop publishing, audits for structured storage, and linking supportive pages plus authoritative signals (YouTube, Reddit). Claims these tools and workflows already boost citation likelihood and business impact when implemented.
