FAQ
- What does AI citation share on this market measure?
- It measures how often an actor's domain appears as a cited source inside AI Overview answers across the market's observed query panel. It does not measure who opens those AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend for any actor?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from October 5–11, 2026. It does not establish a multi-month trend or predict future citation behavior. AI Overview content is volatile by nature — it varies by query, model, and date.
- Why do platforms appear ahead of specialist domains on this panel?
- The card observes what AI Overviews actually cite; it does not explain why. The observation shows that platforms such as instagram.com and youtube.com accumulated significant AI citation volume across this window, but the card makes no claim about the underlying model logic.
