What is the searcher trying to achieve, and what are the steps they might take along that journey toward an eventual action? Let\u2019s dive into each one and look at some examples.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    As we move toward this hybrid world, it can help to move away from traditional search queries and towards questions (or, in LLM lingo, \u201cprompts\u201d). So, all of the following examples are based on the question: \u201cWhat are the best wireless mice for gamers?\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <strong>1. Semantic fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    In an AI\/LLM world, there are many ways to say roughly the same thing. Semantic fan-outs are queries or prompts with different words, but similar meaning. For example:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhich gaming mice perform best for players?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhat are good cordless mice for gamers?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    <strong>2. Entity fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    Entity fan-outs expand on an entity \u2014 a person, place, thing, or brand. For example:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cAre HyperX mice good for FPS players?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cIs Pulsar a solid pick for gamers?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;\" dir=\"ltr\">\n    <strong>3. Follow-up fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    Follow-up is probably self-explanatory \u2014 what is the searcher likely to ask next? The next two fan-out types are variations on follow-ups, but some general examples are:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cHow long do wireless gaming mice last?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cAre wireless mice good for competitive play?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    <strong>4. Attribute fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    An attribute fan-out is a follow-up focusing on a specific feature or attribute, such as:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cHow important is battery life in gaming mice?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cHow much DPI matters for gaming mice?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    <strong>5. Anticipate fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    What about the follow-up after the follow-up? Anticipate fan-outs look two or more steps ahead, sometimes even at post-transactional questions. For example:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhat sensitivity settings help new gamers?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhat accessories help wireless mouse users?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    <strong>6. Factual fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    The next three fan-out types dive into the informational intent space. Factual fan-outs focus on just that: facts, data, and specifics. For example:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhat polling rates do pros often choose?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cHow often do gamers replace wireless mice?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    <strong>7. Tutorial fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    Tutorial fan-outs dive deeper into a topic, such as how-to guides. The three informational fan-outs are strong candidates for content marketing. Examples include:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cHow to extend battery life on gaming mice\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cHow to set up a new gaming mouse?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    <strong>8. Perspective fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    Perspective fan-outs focus on human perspectives and opinions, including discussions and forums, which Google leans on heavily. Some examples are:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhat mice do streamers often recommend?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhy do some gamers swear by wrist rests?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    <strong>9. Comparison fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    The last two fan-out types move down the funnel toward an action or transaction. Comparison fan-outs compare two or more items or concepts. For example:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhich lasts longer: optical or laser mice?\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cAre premium mice really better than budget mice?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    <strong>10. Transact fan-out<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    Finally, Transact fan-outs move into a clear commercial or transactional space. The searcher is ready to take an action, such as a purchase. Examples include:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhen do gaming mice usually go on sale?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        \u201cWhere to buy mousepads for wireless mice?\u201d\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n    Note that these 10 fan-out types aren\u2019t exhaustive or mutually-exclusive. Our goal is to provide a framework to understand why and how fan-out happens, and illustrate how mapping fan-outs can help marketers better understand the searcher\u2019s journey.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    <strong>Putting all 10 together<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    Let\u2019s revisit our earlier visual map and plug in some of the examples we\u2019ve covered:\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These 10 fan-out types are loosely organized as a journey.
