What is QueryTrace
Instantly see the exact search queries ChatGPT and Claude use when browsing the web. Full transparency. Make Your Website — And Your Clients’ Websites — Show Up in AI Answers
AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude are becoming the new search engines. They don’t just generate answers — they search, evaluate sources, and decide which websites to recommend.
Most SEO teams have zero visibility into how that decision is made.
QueryTrace fixes that.
QueryTrace shows the exact searches AI performs before answering a question, giving SEO and web agencies the insight they need to optimise websites for AI recommendations — not just Google rankings.
WHY SEO & WEB AGENCIES USE QUERYTRACE 🤖 Understand How AI Chooses Which Websites to Recommend
Show the rest of the store description▾
See what AI actually searches for when deciding what to cite or suggest. If your site isn’t aligned with those searches, it won’t be recommended.
📈 Optimise Client Websites for ChatGPT & Claude
Identify gaps between:
What AI is searching for
What your client’s website actually covers
Then fix them — intentionally.
🔍 Validate AI Visibility, Not Guess It
Stop guessing why a competitor appears in AI answers and your client doesn’t. QueryTrace shows what AI looked for, so you know what needs to exist on the site.
🎯 Build AI Engine Optimisation (AIEO) Into Your SEO Service
Traditional SEO explains Google. QueryTrace lets you explain AI.
Use it to:
Back recommendations with evidence
Justify content changes
Sell AI-readiness as a service
🧠 Turn AI From a Black Box Into a Strategy
Instead of hoping AI “gets” a website:
See the searches
Understand the intent
Align the content
Increase recommendation confidence
HOW QUERYTRACE WORKS
Install the QueryTrace Chrome extension
Ask ChatGPT or Claude a real question (like your clients’ customers would)
Open QueryTrace to see every search AI ran before answering
Use those searches to guide on-page content, structure, and coverage
No account. No setup. Works instantly.
REAL AGENCY USE CASES ✓ Why Isn’t My Client Being Mentioned in ChatGPT?
Ask AI a relevant question → see what it searched for → compare that to the client’s site.
✓ Content Optimisation for AI Answers
If AI searches for:
Definitions
Comparisons
Local modifiers
Authority signals
…and your page doesn’t answer them — you know exactly what to add.
✓ Competitor Appearing in AI Results?
See what AI searched for that led it there. Reverse-engineer the visibility gap.
✓ AI-Readiness Audits for Clients
Use QueryTrace to support reports that explain:
What AI understands about the site
What it’s unsure about
Why it may or may not recommend it
✓ Proof-Driven Client Reporting
Replace vague claims with:
“Here’s what AI searched for — and here’s why your site didn’t qualify yet.”
That’s powerful.
