Key reading
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
brandedliving.co holds the rank-1 position in the period-wide AI opening-control ranking at 21.22%, with savills.co.uk in second at 16.25% — a gap of 4.97 percentage points. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 8 combined on this surface, but the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, which means the panel tilts toward the upper tier without concentrating sharply. The 9 sources behind brandedliving.co range from 16.25% down to 4.59%, and none of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 6 comparable runs. AI Overview opening-control evidence was available on 5 of 6 runs in the comparable window; one run on August 27, 2026 returned no AI Overview source competitors.

Pattern on the observed surface
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
The panel is top-weighted but not concentrated
The panel is top-weighted but not concentrated: the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, yet the rank-1 actor accumulated only 21.22% of openings — leaving the surface structurally contested. The 9 sources behind brandedliving.co range from 16.25% down to 4.59%, a spread of 16.63 percentage points from top to bottom. The lower half of the panel compresses into a narrow band, while the upper tier separates more visibly. One social platform — instagram.com — appears at the bottom of the panel, with the remaining positions held by focused sources and niche domains.
Why this reading matters
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
brandedliving.co holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail, yet the AI-answer layer across this market remains wide open. Aside from the rank-1 actor, no other source on the panel exceeds 16.25%, and the surface composition includes an educational subdomain (insights.ehl.edu) and a social platform (instagram.com) alongside specialist domains — a mix that signals the AI surface is drawing from a broad, unsettled pool of sources for Branded Residences London.
Market implication
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
The AI-answer layer on this market remains wide open on the observed opening-control surface across the 6-run window. No actor on the panel has locked in a commanding share of AI answer openings, and the spread from rank 1 to rank 10 is 16.63 percentage points. For any operator monitoring AI visibility on Branded Residences London, the observation signals that the opening-control surface is structurally available — the primacy slot is held at 21.22%, not at a level that forecloses competition.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share' measure?
- AI opening share measures which domain is cited at the very opening of AI Overview answers — the source AI reaches for first when answering a query. It is not the same as general citation share (which counts all citations across the full AI answer) or organic search ranking.
- How many queries and runs does this card cover?
- This card aggregates 105 observed queries across 6 comparable scheduled runs in the observation period August 24–30, 2026. AI Overview opening-control evidence was available on 5 of 6 runs; one run on August 27, 2026 returned no AI Overview source competitors, so the 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 observation does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates. The card reads only the AI opening-control surface — it does not measure general citation share, organic visibility, or real-world business standing.
