Content must be created to communicate with people as much as possible. Write as if people are talking to each other,"

When AI answers questions directly, click-through rates decline. The new metric that matters is conversion and citations. For news organizations, being cited by AI and other platforms enhances website ranking and media credibility. When authoritative media frequently cite an expert, that person’s rankings improve, creating a virtuous cycle of authority.

Teeraphol recommends two content types: Topical Content follows trends but doesn’t last long, while Evergreen Content covers core business components and consistently generates traffic over time. Content can be broken down into multiple formats—articles, podcasts, infographics, and videos—with each format optimized for SEO.

Success in the AI era requires creating human-focused content, building credibility through citations, and maintaining your website as customer data headquarters. Organizations that prioritize trust, complete content coverage, and customer-centric approaches will thrive in the evolving digital landscape.
