Pattern on the observed surface
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · Jun 29 – Jul 5, 2026
The panel is top-heavy
The panel is top-heavy: the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined. savills.co.uk sits alone at the top, with a clear gap to brandedliving.co, and a much wider gap to the rest. The 9 sources behind savills.co.uk range from 15.25% down to 3.20%, producing a long, gradually declining tail rather than a sharp cliff after the second position. The surface is populated entirely by niche domains — no social platforms or general-purpose aggregators appear on this opening-control rail. Nearly all actors on the panel opened AI answers in every comparable run; only insights.ehl.edu appeared in fewer.
Why this reading matters
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · Jun 29 – Jul 5, 2026
savills.co.uk and Savills appear as two distinct governed actors on this panel, together occupying the first and fourth positions in the period-wide ranking. Whether AI treats the domain and the brand entity as separate sources — and what that separation means for how opening share is distributed — is a structural detail worth monitoring on future windows.
Market implication
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · Jun 29 – Jul 5, 2026
The AI Overview opening-control rail on Branded Residences London is concentrated at the top but distributed across the rest of the panel. savills.co.uk's accumulated lead across the 7-run window signals that AI reaches for this source first more often than any other on the governed panel. The surface remains open below the top three: the lower portion of the panel is populated by domains with modest but non-trivial cumulative opening volume, and the absence of platforms or aggregators suggests the AI opening rail on this market draws from focused, specialist-adjacent sources.
