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, Claude and Microsoft Copilot, 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.

The Consideration Set

On ChatGPT and Perplexity, Locuvox captures every page the engine read for a query — its consideration set — 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. No other platform shows this layer.

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.
