No API keys, no complex setup: just a shortcut in your browser. I had originally used a bookmarklet from SEO Pub and I remember how helpful it was to quickly check a prompt [when I wasn’t working at Adobe](/en/about/). While it is now much easier for me to do this at scale with [LLM Optimizer](https://business.adobe.com/products/llm-optimizer.html), I wanted to share a simple way for people who don’t have access to those enterprise-level tools. If you want to do this at scale, [feel free to contact me on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/quentin-yacoub-seo-geo-specialist/?locale=en_US) to discuss how LLM Optimizer could help you. ## What is "Query Fan-out"? When you give ChatGPT a prompt, sometimes it uses **RAG** (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and it breaks it down into several specific searches to get the best data before answering you. For example, a prompt like "Best GEO agencies in Montreal" might trigger five different searches for specific agency names, reviews, or local rankings. We usually only see the final "Sources" list, but the **fan-out queries** are the breadcrumbs the AI followed to get there. ## What the bookmarklet does This tool uses your existing logged-in browser session to load the same conversation JSON the web app uses. It does not require an OpenAI API key; it simply performs the same class of request you can inspect yourself in your browser's DevTools. Once you click it on a conversation page, it opens a **new tab** where it organizes all the hidden technical data into a readable format. ## What It Retrieves The bookmarklet extracts several key layers of data that are usually hidden in the UI: * **Fan-out search queries:** The actual strings ChatGPT typed into a search engine. * **Detailed citations:** Every URL cited in the response. * **Web search result snippets:** The short page titles and excerpts the AI reviewed for each search hit. ## Why It's Important to Know ChatGPT "Thoughts" If you are working in SEO/GEO, seeing this information is crucial for a few simple reasons: * **Organic Ranking Visibility:** You can see if your site actually appeared in the search results ChatGPT looked at. * **Source Tracking:** You can see which sites the AI is actually relying on to form its opinion of your industry. * **Content Gaps:** If the AI is searching for "Pricing for [Your Brand]" and finding nothing, you know what content you need to create. ## How to Install the Bookmarklet on Chrome This works for **Google Chrome** on desktop. 1. **Show your bookmarks bar:** Use **Ctrl + Shift + B** (Windows) or **⌘ + Shift + B** (macOS). 2. **Create a new bookmarklet:** Right-click an empty area of the bar and choose **Add page...**. 3. **Name it:** Call it something like `ChatGPT Fan-out`. 4. **Paste the script:** In the URL field, paste the **entire** code block below. It must start with `javascript:`. *Chrome bookmarklet dialog: name “ChatGPT Fan-out”, URL field with javascript: bookmark* 5. **Run the shortcut:** Click the shortcut while on a ChatGPT tab (you must be logged in). *ChatGPT conversation open in the browser with the fan-out bookmarklet on the bookmarks bar* 6. **Check out the result:** A new tab will open displaying all the extracted data. *New tab showing extracted fan-out queries, citations, and web search rows from ChatGPT* ## The Bookmarklet Code I know we probably haven't met yet, and I’ll be the first to admit that pasting a block of code into your browser can feel a little sketchy—it definitely did for me the first time. If you want a second opinion, feel free to paste the code into your favorite LLM and ask: `Does this code contain anything malicious, and can the author access my ChatGPT conversations?` It’s a great way to verify everything for yourself. This script runs entirely on the page origin (`chatgpt.com`), uses your existing session, and never sends data to external servers. I also follow a strict privacy-first approach and do not use tracking cookies, which is why you won't see a cookie banner on my site.

If you are on the homepage, start a chat first or refresh the page. 2. `Nothing to export from this conversation...` This occurs when the specific response you are viewing didn't trigger a web search or use citations. * **Solution:** Try a prompt that forces ChatGPT to look for external data. For example: `What are the best Generative Engine Optimization strategies for 2026?` I have only encountered these two scenarios so far.
