See what ChatGPT’s really thinking. Keyword Surfer now reveals the hidden sub-queries behind every AI answer, giving you instant insight into what different models search for when answering your questions.

Keyword Surfer now reveals the fan‑out queries ChatGPT runs behind the scenes. Every time you type a prompt, ChatGPT quietly runs 2–5 sub-queries to build its answer—and now you can see them all.

If you haven’t tried it yet, Keyword Surfer is our free Chrome extension that brings real keyword data into your everyday browsing. With this update, you can turn ChatGPT data into a live keyword research session—whether you’re exploring a topic, planning content, or reverse-engineering visibility (currently supporting o3, o4 and o4-mini models).

Tips to Try Today:

  • Install the extension and run a prompt like “best time to post on LinkedIn” on ChatGPT-o3 model to see what sub-queries it uses to answer
  • Use fan-out data to enrich topic clusters and content briefs
  • Compare fan-outs across prompts to spot semantic patterns
  • Combine Keyword Surfer insights with Topical Map and Facts to rank for the most relevant queries and improve your AI visibility
