Query fan-out
See the searches AI ran before it answered.
Query fan-out is the set of related searches an AI assistant may run to build an answer. This view lists the searches the assistant reported, beside the question that started them.
Suggested prompts are not measured search demand.
Alder StudioReported searches are available only for supported captures. They do not reveal every internal step.

The searches behind your answers
Some AI assistants search the web before they answer, and some report the searches they ran. Each reported search is listed beside the prompt that started it. A search the assistant did not report is never invented.
02 / Query fan-out
Answers without searches
An answer can lack search data for several reasons, and each is counted separately. The assistant may have run searches and returned no query text, or may have recorded no web search at all.
The page never merges these into one number.

Open a query for its pages
Select any query to open its evidence. Under each step are the pages that search read. A page is marked when the answer also cited it.
A citation is a source link attached to the answer, so a page that was read and not cited is a separate finding. A link on each step opens the full saved answer.

Patterns and tracking
A panel lists recurring words that appear in more than one distinct query, such as a price, a town or a service. It is a pattern to look into, not proof of demand.
Any search in the list can become one of your prompts with one press.
How it works
- Ask your prompts Answers to your prompts are read for the searches they report.
- Read the searches See each reported search beside the prompt that started it.
- Check the pages Open a query to see the pages each search read, and which of them the answer cited.
- Track what matters Turn a useful search into a tracked prompt.
Who it is for
Service businesses
A broad question about a service can turn into narrower searches about prices, reviews or a town.
Practices
See whether an assistant looked up a specific website, such as a directory or a review site, before it answered.
Shops
Recurring words across searches give you a starting point for new prompts.
How Carqo works
You connect your website, review what AI search says and receive drafts for your next steps.
Carqo checks the facts
Facts are checked against their source where Carqo holds one. Conflicts and out-of-date facts are flagged to you.
Carqo shows where AI search mentions you
It follows your customer prompts and shows what the answers said about your business.
You decide what to do with each draft
A person on your side reviews each draft and decides whether to use it.
Common questions
What is query fan-out?
Query fan-out is the set of related searches an AI assistant may run while building an answer. This view shows the searches an assistant reported, not ones it kept to itself.
Why do some answers have no searches?
Not every assistant reports its searches, and some answers involve no web search at all. The page counts each of these reasons separately.
Is a query count the same as search volume?
No. A count here is the number of times a search step appeared in your saved answers. It says nothing about how often people search, and it does not show that a search caused anything in the answer.
Does a page the search read mean the answer used it?
Not on its own. A page read by a search step is marked separately from a page the answer cited. Neither says how much a page weighed in the final answer.
