See what AI reads before it answers
Fanout queries are the web searches a model runs mid-answer. The pages it retrieves and cites are the sources shaping its recommendations, so treat the citation lists as your target list for earning coverage, mentions, and links.
Where the numbers come from
Scoped to the runs where models used web search. Same rank-weighted scoring as LLM Search Visibility, plus every URL the searches retrieved (citation sources) and every URL actually cited in answers (citations), aggregated by frequency.
What's on this page
