What is Query Fan-Out?

Query fan-out describes how AI systems split a user question into multiple sub-queries to build an answer.

Instead of one SERP, related aspects, entities, and sources are fetched in parallel. Content that covers sub-questions clearly and is well structured has a better chance of appearing in the final answer. Closely related to GEO, entity gaps, and modular fragments.
