AI search changed everything. Your SEO strategy didn't.

When someone asks ChatGPT “best project management software,” it doesn't just search that phrase.

It silently generates 15–20 fan-out queries—related searches like “project management for remote teams,” “Asana vs Monday comparison,” and “free project management tools 2025.”

The page that ranks for the most fan-out queries wins the citation.

Not you? Your competitor gets recommended. You get nothing.

The Old Way
Traditional SEO
  • Target 1 keyword
    Optimize for a single query and hope it's enough.
  • Hope for the best
    You never see the hidden research step.
  • Manual topic research
    Slow, scattered, and easy to miss what AI cares about.
The Reality
AI fan-out search
  • AI searches 15–20 queries per prompt
    Those fan-outs decide what sources get cited.
  • 161% more citations when you rank for fan-outs
    Coverage beats "perfect" single-keyword optimization.
  • 66% of fan-outs appear only once
    It's basically impossible to track manually.

See exactly what AI searches. Build content that gets cited.

GPTDeepRank analyzes the actual JSON logs from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, and any AI that reveals its search process. You get the complete blueprint of what AI wants to know—and the content clusters to dominate it.

Step 1

Upload your AI chat logs

Export any ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Grok conversation. GPTDeepRank extracts every fan-out query the AI used to formulate its answer.

Step 2

Generate your DeepRank cluster map

GPTDeepRank vs. the old way

Traditional SEO tools were built for 10 blue links. GPTDeepRank is built for AI search — where hidden fan-out queries decide who gets cited.

Without GPTDeepRank
The old way
Traditional SEO workflows
  • Guess which topics AI cares about
    You optimize for what humans search, then hope AI picks it up.
  • Hours of manual topic research
    Endless spreadsheets, keyword tools, and assumptions.
  • Optimize for single keywords
    One query at a time, missing the full cluster AI pulls from.
  • React to algorithm changes
    Always behind the next update.
  • Low AI citation odds
    ~19.6% citation rate when only ranking for the main query.
With GPTDeepRank
The new way
Built for AI citations
  • See the exact fan-out queries AI uses
    Pull the internal research queries from real JSON logs.
  • Cluster maps in minutes
    Upload → analyze → export a full content cluster.
  • Target entire AI search clusters
    Build pillar + supporting pages that AI can confidently cite.
  • Proactively build topical authority
    Publish the map, not guesses.
  • Higher AI citation odds
    ~51.2% citation rate when covering main query + fan-outs.
Why this matters: AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity silently generate extra “fan-out” queries behind the scenes. When you cover those fan-outs, you give AI more reasons to cite you.

Get cited in AI search. One investment. Forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a fan-out query?
When AI tools like ChatGPT search the web, they don't just search your exact question. They generate 15–20 related queries (fan-outs) to build a complete answer. GPTDeepRank reveals these hidden queries so you can create content that covers them.
How do I get the chat logs to upload?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok all allow you to access the code/JSON of a chat. We provide a quick step-by-step guide. It usually takes about 30 seconds.
Does this work for Google AI Overviews too?
Yes. Google's AI Overviews use the same fan-out mechanism (powered by Gemini). Content that ranks for ChatGPT fan-outs often performs well in Google AIOs too.
How is this different from regular keyword research?
Traditional keyword tools show what humans search for. GPTDeepRank shows what AI searches for when answering questions. Those AI queries are what drive citations.
What if I don't have technical skills?
If you can upload a file and click a button, you can use GPTDeepRank. No coding, no APIs, no complexity. Upload → get clusters → export outlines.
What's your refund policy?
No refunds — just cancel anytime.
