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 set. It does not measure who opens those AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Why was AI Overview citation evidence missing on one run?
- AI Overview citation evidence was available on 5 of 6 runs in the comparable window. The run on August 27, 2026 returned no AI Overview source competitors — meaning either no AI Overview was generated or it was generated without source citations on that run. Aggregated values are computed from the 5 runs with available evidence.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend or business-market leadership?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 6 comparable scheduled runs. It does not establish a multi-month trend, and AI Overview content can vary by query, model, and date. The citation share observed here reflects AI surface visibility, not business-market position.
