Don’t guess. Simulate the 20+ sub-queries Google AI generates and instantly check if your content covers them. The scientific way to win AI Overviews and increase citation probability.
“Query Fan-Out” is the information retrieval technique used by Google AI Overviews (Gemini) to break a single complex user query into multiple, simpler sub-queries.
Instead of matching one keyword, the AI “fans out” your request into diverse intents to synthesize a complete answer. If your content doesn’t answer these specific fan-out queries, AI won’t cite you.
AI platforms value completeness, not just keyword targeting. Here’s what complete topical coverage unlocks.
LLMs don't cite pages based on exact keyword matches. They evaluate whether your content comprehensively answers all related sub-queries in a topic cluster. Covering fan-out queries signals topical authority.
Content covering 80%+ of fan-out queries is 8x more likely to be cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. The more query variants you address, the more authoritative you appear to AI systems.
Traditional SEO tools show keyword rankings, but they can't tell you which related queries your content fails to address. Fan-out analysis reveals blind spots you didn't know existed.
Instead of guessing what content to add, get a specific task list ranked by impact. Know exactly which missing sections will move the needle on your AI visibility.
Demonstrate subject matter expertise by proving you've addressed every angle of a topic. AI systems reward depth and breadth fan-out coverage delivers both.
Fan-out coverage optimization improves both traditional SEO (by targeting long-tail keywords) and AI search (by demonstrating comprehensive topic knowledge). One strategy, dual benefits.
Our 4-step process ensures you answer the questions AI is actually asking.
Enter the main query you want AI visibility for (e.g., "project management software")
Our LLM expands your seed into specification, comparison, follow-up, and 5 other query types
Our "LLM Judge" reads your URL and compares your text against the fan-out list.
Receive specific recommendations: "Add pricing section" or "Create competitor comparison table"
Seed Query: “best local citation services”
Everything you need to know about query fan-out generators and coverage analysis.
A Query Fan-Out Generator takes your main keyword and expands it into 10–20 related queries across informational, transactional, comparison, and intent-based variations. This helps you see the full range of questions users and AI systems ask around your topic. You can use these queries to improve content depth, build subtopics, and increase the chances of AI platforms citing your page.
Coverage analysis compares each fan-out query against your existing page content. It labels each one as fully covered, partially covered, or missing. This gives you a coverage score and shows exactly where your content lacks topical depth, which sections need improvement, and which new topics you should add. The analysis becomes a roadmap for improving SEO and AI visibility.
The Coverage Analyzer scans your content using an LLM Judge and highlights any query your page does not answer clearly. Missing queries often relate to pricing, comparisons, alternatives, deeper how-to questions, or brand-specific variations. These uncovered areas are opportunities to expand your content and improve your authority on the topic.
Yes. AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity prefer pages that show complete topical coverage. If you answer only the seed keyword but ignore related variations, AI platforms may skip your content entirely. Improving your fan-out coverage increases your relevance to more user intents, which boosts your chances of appearing as a recommended or cited source.
Yes. Fan-out coverage helps you strengthen semantic relevance for Google Search while also improving your content’s ability to appear in AI-generated responses. Google rewards topical depth, and AI platforms reward completeness. By covering more query variations, you improve performance across both traditional SEO and LLM search.
Most websites benefit from checking coverage after publishing updates, adding new sections, or optimizing for new keywords. Since AI search changes quickly, many users run coverage checks monthly or after major content updates to keep their topical depth relevant and citation-ready.
Move beyond single keywords and optimise for complete query clusters. See your coverage score, identify critical gaps, and start building topical authority that AI platforms reward.
