How it works
- 1
Enter one seed query
The actual question your customer would ask. Don't pre-keyword it - feed it raw.
- 2
See the fan-out
~25 distinct queries grouped by intent: informational, comparison, transactional, navigational, and opinion.
- 3
Use it as a content brief
Each variant is a sub-section your article should cover to dominate the topic in AI assistants.
- 4
Run again with related seeds
Different phrasings of the same intent fan out into different sets. Run a few seeds for full topic coverage.
A small detail that compounds.
When ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity answer a user query, they don't just search the literal question - they fan it out into 5–20 related queries and pull sources from each. The pages that get cited are the ones that show up across multiple fan-out queries.
Mapping the fan-out lets you write one article that covers the whole semantic neighborhood - guaranteeing you're in the citation pool no matter how the user phrases the question.
Articles built around the whole query graph.
Sight AI's Research Agent runs the fan-out for you on every article, then structures the content to cover every distinct intent from your seed query - informational sections, comparison tables, FAQ blocks, and a transactional CTA.
The result: articles that get cited by ChatGPT and Claude no matter which sub-question the user actually asked.
- Fan-out research baked into every article we write
- Multi-intent coverage - informational, comparison, transactional
- FAQ schema generated for every applicable sub-question
- Built-in tracking of which queries cite your articles
Common questions.
What is "query fan-out"?
When AI assistants answer a question, they don't just search the literal phrase - they generate multiple related queries and pull sources from each. The set of related queries is the "fan-out".
Why does intent matter?
Each intent calls for different content. Informational queries need explanations; comparison queries need tables; transactional queries need pricing/CTA. One article can cover all of them, but only if you know what they are.
Should I target every fan-out query separately?
No - that's the old keyword model. Modern SEO is one strong article that comprehensively covers the whole fan-out, internally linked to a handful of focused supporting pages.
How is this different from "related searches"?
Related searches are what humans typed next on Google. Fan-out is what AI generates internally to retrieve sources. The latter increasingly drives more visibility in 2026.
