Free Query Fan-Out Tool: Rank in AI Overviews & AI Mode

Free query fan-out tool. Predict the sub-queries Google generates for AI Mode and AI Overviews, audit your page against every branch, and get ready-to-paste passages. Enter your target query and page URL to see the full predicted fan-out, your coverage score, and the exact passages to add so your page gets cited.

What query fan-out means for AI Overviews and AI Mode

When someone searches in Google AI Mode or triggers an AI Overview, Google does not run a single query. It expands, or fans out, that one query into a set of synthetic sub-queries: definitions, comparisons, step-by-step processes, pricing questions, entity questions, local variations and likely follow-ups. Google then retrieves passages for each branch and synthesises one answer, citing the pages that answered those branches most clearly. This query fan-out tool predicts that expansion for your keyword and shows how well your page currently answers each branch.

How the query fan-out tool works

1. Enter the query you want to be cited for, such as best link building services for saas.
2. Add the page URL you want cited. The tool reads that page from our server, including its headings and body text.
3. Choose the intent and market so the predicted sub-queries match how your audience actually searches.
4. Run the analysis. You get a coverage score out of 100, every predicted sub-query, its branch type and priority, whether your page covers it, and one specific instruction for each gap.

What you get in the report

• Fan-out coverage score, an at-a-glance view of how citable the page is for the whole query cluster.
• 16 to 24 predicted sub-queries, grouped by branch type: definitional, comparative, procedural, commercial, pricing, entity, trust, local and follow-up.
• Per-branch status, so you can see instantly which branches are covered, partly covered, or still open.
• Entities and concepts that a strong page on this topic is expected to mention.
• Ready-to-paste passages, each written as a self-contained 40 to 60 word answer in the style AI Overviews quote.
• An FAQ block with FAQPage JSON-LD, covering the follow-up branches of the fan-out.
• Priority actions and content gaps, ordered by likely impact.

How to write content that wins fan-out branches

AI systems quote passages, not whole pages. The pages that get cited most often share the same pattern: a clear question-shaped heading, an immediate direct answer in the first two sentences, then the supporting detail. Give every important sub-query its own H2 or H3, answer it in plain language before you elaborate, and keep each answer able to stand alone when it is lifted out of context. Add specific numbers, named entities, timeframes and comparisons, because these are the details a synthesised answer needs in order to quote you rather than a competitor.

Coverage score bands

• 75 to 100, strong. Your page answers most high-priority branches. Focus on adding the remaining follow-up questions and schema.
• 45 to 74, moderate. The core topic is there and the fastest gains come from adding dedicated sections for the comparative, pricing and process branches.
• Under 45, early. Treat the report as a content brief and build out the missing sections in priority order.

Why fan-out coverage now decides visibility

Classic SEO optimised one page for one keyword. Fan-out retrieval rewards depth across a cluster: the more branches a single page answers well, the more sub-query results it appears in, and the higher the chance it is one of the sources the AI answer cites. That is why comprehensive service and topic pages now outperform thin, single-intent pages, and why re-running this analysis after each publish is a fast way to confirm your coverage improved.

Use it alongside the rest of the toolkit

Once your content plan is set, confirm the page is discoverable and clean: check indexing with the Google index checker, review titles and descriptions with the SEO meta tag analyzer, add structured data with the schema markup generator, verify load time with the page speed insights estimator, and track progress with the keyword rank checker.

Frequently asked questions

Is this real data from Google?

It is an AI prediction of how Google is likely to expand your query, built by a model that understands fan-out retrieval patterns. Google does not publish its sub-queries, so treat the output as a high-quality content brief rather than a live feed.

How many analyses can I run?

Five free analyses per day per visitor, which keeps the tool fast and free for everyone. The counter resets after 24 hours.

Do I need to enter a URL?

No. Without a URL you still get the full predicted fan-out and passage suggestions, which is ideal when you are planning a page that does not exist yet. With a URL you also get the coverage score and per-branch audit.

Will covering more branches help classic rankings too?

Yes. The same depth that wins fan-out branches also earns featured snippets, People Also Ask placements and stronger topical relevance in classic results.

Want the authority behind the content?

Comprehensive content earns citations faster when the page has links pointing at it. Tell us which pages you want cited and we will build the links that get them there.
