Conversational Customer Acquisition 2.0
How to Build AI-Native Trust Engines That Humans Use, Software Call, and AI Agents Recommend.
By Curtiss Witt

The Moment of Decision Has Moved
People are no longer simply typing keywords into a search engine, opening ten links, and comparing businesses on their own. Increasingly, they describe their situations to AI, answer follow-up questions, weigh their options, and ask whom they should trust.
Conversational Customer Acquisition 2.0 introduces a new discipline for this conversational era. It shows business owners how to build companies that artificial intelligence can understand, verify, recommend, and ultimately use while helping a customer make a decision.
This is not a book about manipulating algorithms or tricking AI into recommending a business. It is a practical guide to becoming the clearer, safer, more trustworthy, and more useful choice. The businesses that succeed in the conversational era will not merely be found — they will be understood, recommended, and used.
Who This Book Is For
What You'll Learn
The book walks through a practical progression — from understanding the customer to building tools that serve humans, software, and AI agents.
Find the Money Dialogs
Identify the high-intent conversations closest to revenue — the situations customers describe to AI when a real decision, risk, or purchase is near.
Eliminate the Trust Tax
Remove the penalty AI applies to businesses whose public information is vague, inconsistent, or hard to verify. Clarity beats persuasion.
Build a Hub of Truth
Create a reliable, structured, consistent source of business facts that humans and intelligent systems can understand and trust.
Earn Outside Corroboration
Align third-party sources so multiple places communicate the same accurate understanding of who you are and what you do.
Turn Expertise Into Decision Support Assets
Transform your judgment into calculators, assessments, checklists, and guided tools that help customers move from uncertainty to clarity.
Serve Three Audiences
Make those tools available to humans through a website, to software through an API, and to AI agents through MCP.
The Six-Step Process
At the core of the book is a practical, repeatable process for building an AI-Native Trust Engine.
The book then takes the strategy one step further — showing how those tools can serve three audiences: humans through a website, software through an API, and AI agents through MCP. Explore the full CCA 2.0 System →
