What is Fan-out Query Analysis?
Fan-out Query Analysis is the process of detecting how Google and other AI systems expand a single search query into multiple related sub-queries. This expansion helps AI Overview engines and LLMs retrieve broader content and provide enriched answers to users.
For SEO, understanding fan-out is critical. It tells you what secondary angles, related terms, and semantic entities Google considers relevant for your topic.
