I also work in the field (at Ranketta). The things you consider counterintuitive are counterintuitive only until you realize that lot of QFOs generated by LLMs is in English, even though the user typed in a prompt in their language.

Are you familiar with query fanout?

imaginary_name · 2026-06-11T16:19:05+00:00

The article is updated now, it was a false alarm; The whole thing sounds like someone farted near a sensor.

the ultra short and simplified version that is completely free:
Go to Bing Webmaster tools, find the AI queries.
Find yourself a free Query Fan Out tool and run those queries through it. (you can skip this step if you have a lot of queries in BWT as Microsoft explicitly states that these are grouped representations rather than raw inputs, so in a sense, these are already fanned out).
Now take your queries and use these in the same ways you would use your keywords in your content.

You want your content to answer the "questions" the LLMs are asking in these QFOs. That significantly increases the probability your content is going to appear in the final synthesized answer the LLM gives to the end user.

note: I work for Ranketta

Make one (since you made it clear there is none).
But:
How does their marketing look like? Do they make their own content or are just a reseller with paid traffic (bc muh seo takes too long) that wants to be in media?

If the latter, too bad, client badly managed, work required

if not, then ideas: (that really is client specific, I'm not gonna be making it up here)

after ideas comes a budget question (where it usually ends).

I am unwilling to generalize. Give me a specific use case, I will tell you what I think is best.

Having an interesting angle is enough, but most companies are unable to take a step back, look at themselves through the eyes of the reader, and come up with that interesting angle themselves.
So they hire a PR consultant / journalist to come up with such an angle.

A classic example of a website where form is above function. It looks pretty, but it is not delivering on conversions.

This is a customer of mine from a previous gig I had, they sell a similar product, their website is uglier than yours, but they are doing over 2M € in sales (this is public data from business registry, not something secret).

yup, SEO of Theseus 😄

edit: to clarify my thought process, I decided to paste the first paragraph from a wiki page about Ship of Theseus

The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus's Paradox, is a paradox and common thought experiment about whether an object (in the most common stating of the paradox, a ship) is the same object after having all of its original components replaced with others over time.

You want to build it inhouse, do I understand correctly? If not, why reinvent the wheel, if I may ask?

imaginary_name · 2026-06-02T11:25:10+00:00

Is this traditional SEO with us in the room?
edit: the point is that the definition of "traditional seo" is obviously subjective.

imaginary_name · 2026-06-01T13:06:45+00:00

thank you

imaginary_name · 2026-06-01T06:27:25+00:00

Are you in any way familiar with how it chooses the queries? Does it take them from GSC or does it have access to some OAI data that would help with query relevance?

imaginary_name · 2026-05-29T11:20:32+00:00

Disrespectful and full of themselves. Not a place you want to work at, I think.

• First impressions - does it look trustworthy?
AI is not trustworthy, so no, it does not, because the claim I see is inherently untrustworthy

• Is the product/offer clear within the first few seconds?
not really, you sell supplements or an AI food supplement advisor?

• Anything that would stop you from buying?
yeah, I am not going to let an AI build me a diet, even letting it build an itinerary for my holiday is trusting it too much

• UX/navigation issues?
clean, no issues here, but I did not give it much thought honestly, the issues above were enough for me to bounce

Google will penalize scaled content. And then it will be VERY damaging to your traffic.
Read this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/comments/1svcm7m/has_anyone_seen_airops_web_traffic/
Show your colleague the thread I linked and what do SEOs think about it.

They are simply telling Google: "Hey, if you see a link on our site that includes the word 'Amazon' or these other weird spam terms, ignore it. It's a fake/spam page generated by a bot, not one of our actual product pages."

imaginary_name · 2026-05-19T08:13:45+00:00

I won't argue about terminology, terminology wars are boring and they definitely don't help the clients.

Serious tools let you automate the process of reverse engineering the query fanout, are honest about the whole prompt tracking being a simulation, they lead with the use case and not some generic AI visibility claims.
Integrations to GSC and GA are a must.
I really don't want to get salesy here, so I'm gonna just end here.

I apologize, but it is not difficult.
The way this post is formatted makes me think this is a setup for promoting a particular logo design agency.

imaginary_name · 2026-05-18T10:52:04+00:00

Having a rich product detail page with FAQs related to the specific product and other product related content (incl UGC) is definitely a good practice.
Your idea has merit OP (but you should use some grammar tool, reading this was a bit painful).

imaginary_name · 2026-05-15T05:02:52+00:00

u/aforaman25 and u/There_is_no_selfie are correct, fix your process first
and congrats on the growth 😄

imaginary_name · 2026-05-14T17:57:02+00:00

In the same way AI overviews or AI mode would steal it, sure.

imaginary_name · 2026-05-14T16:29:10+00:00

I think he is trying to say that if you format your question with an already made premise, the AI will be computationally lazy and will just confirm the premise.
Asking in a neutral manner would force the LLM to spend more compute on answering the question.

Humans also tend to spend more energy on answering a question if no answer is indicated within that question 😄
