What query evidence adds
Traditional analytics starts at impressions, citations and referrals. Query observations add the language used immediately before evidence is selected, where the interface exposes it.
What Open Queries does not claim
It does not measure every hidden search, guarantee a citation, infer a universal ranking factor or convert generated candidates into population demand.
A practical evidence stack
Use observed retrieval patterns to form hypotheses, estimated fan-outs to explore adjacent paths, and independent analytics to validate business impact.
- Observed provider queries.
- Provider-native estimate provenance.
- Citations, referrals and conversion outcomes.
- Human-search keyword demand where relevant.
