ChatGPT Query Fan-Out Chrome Extension

It's a free Chrome extension that shows the query fan-out behind a ChatGPT answer: the search queries ChatGPT runs, the web sources it reads, and the ones it actually cites. It's made for SEO and GEO (generative engine optimization).

Yes. Since version 1.1 the extension imports past chats too: any old conversation you open in ChatGPT syncs into the panel automatically, with its full query fan-out, sources and citations, under the conversation's original date.

No. There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no third-party code. It doesn't profile you and it doesn't send your activity anywhere.

It's safe. It only reads the query fan-out data ChatGPT already shows on the page (the searches, sources, and citations for your own answers) and keeps it on your device. It never collects personal information and never uploads anything.

In your browser's local storage, on your own computer. Nothing is saved on a server and nobody else can see it. You can delete a single capture, clear everything, or cap how much history it keeps.

Yes, it's completely free. No sign-up, no account, no paywall.

Yes. Any Chromium-based browser that installs extensions from the Chrome Web Store and supports the side panel, like Brave and Microsoft Edge, runs it too.

Install the extension, open the side panel from the toolbar, and ask ChatGPT something that needs the web. The query fan-out shows up in the panel: every search it ran, the sources it read, and the ones it cited.

It tells you which searches decide the answer in your niche and which sites get cited. Shape your content around the queries and sources ChatGPT actually uses, and you're far more likely to be the site it cites next time.

It never edits your prompts or answers; it only reads what ChatGPT produces, through your own session. For now it's built for ChatGPT, with other AI search engines possibly to follow.
