Conversational search
Search as a dialogue with follow-ups, not a one-box query. AI Mode and chat apps live here.
Your analytics will not show the follow-up. Prompt tracking can simulate it.
Content that only answers the head query fails the second turn.
Examples
- User: “CRM.” Follow-up: “that doesn’t need a credit card to trial.” Your trial-wall page never mentioned it.

Query fan-out is when one user question becomes many internal searches. You might get cited for a sub-query you never targeted.
Why the query exists: learn, find a site, compare, buy. Chat intent is the same with more backstory in one message.
