See the searches AI runs before it answers.

When an AI engine answers a question, it quietly fans out — running several web searches behind the scenes and citing whatever ranks for them. Locuvox captures those real fan-out queries from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, so you know exactly which searches your content has to win.

The hidden layer of every AI answer

Rank for the fan-out, get cited in the answer

The real queries

Not keyword-tool guesses — the literal searches each engine ran while answering the prompts you track, with engine, frequency and first/last seen.

Read vs cited

On ChatGPT and Perplexity, Locuvox captures every page the engine read for a query and splits it: cited in the answer, or read-but-skipped. "Never read" is a ranking problem; "read but skipped" is a content problem — now you know which one you have.

Branded & competitor queries

Queries containing your brand — or a tracked competitor's name — are flagged, so you can see when AI is researching them on questions that matter to you.

Nothing extra to set up

Captured on the checks you already run

Fan-out capture rides your existing scheduled checks — no new prompts, no extra checks consumed. Every query is stored with a full history, and the picture sharpens with every run.

  • Drill into any query: sightings per day, engines, the prompts it appeared for — and the pages read for it, split cited vs skipped.
  • A domain-level rollup: who gets fetched vs who makes the answer — with the "fetched, not cited" gap called out.
  • Shopping placements on buying-intent prompts: did a merchant win the product card, or just an inline mention?
  • "New" badges and trend arrows as queries appear, rise and fade.
  • One-click CSV export — hand your content team their target list.
  • Recommendation briefs weave the queries in, so every brief names the searches to rank for.

Why it matters

AI assistants don't browse your site — they search, then cite what ranks. The fan-out queries are the actual questions your content is competing on, with buyer intent built in.

Win the fan-out and you're in the answer. Miss it and you're invisible — no matter how good the content is. Locuvox shows you which side of that line every query sits on.
