Query Fan-out

Query fan-out is a technique where an AI search system silently breaks one complex query into several related sub-queries, retrieves sources for each, and synthesises a single answer.

It means your content can be pulled in for questions the user never literally typed, so covering a topic and its adjacent sub-questions thoroughly increases your surface area for citation. For example, a question about choosing an agency might fan out into pricing, services, and location sub-queries. Thin, single-keyword pages lose here to comprehensive ones.
