Pattern on the observed surface
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · September 14–20, 2026
The panel is top-heavy
The panel is top-heavy: the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, with brandedliving.co and savills.co.uk accounting for the bulk of that concentration. Below the top two, the surface flattens into a cluster of niche domains whose cumulative opening volumes sit close together — the 9 sources behind brandedliving.co range from 17.83% down to 3.29%. youtube.com is the sole general-purpose platform on the panel; every other actor is a focused source. All 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs.
Why this reading matters
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · September 14–20, 2026
brandedliving.co's position at the top of this opening-control rail is notable for the gap it opens over the rest of the panel: the spread between rank 1 and rank 10 is 20.71 percentage points. The presence of both savills.co.uk and Savills as separate governed actors on the same panel — each with distinct cumulative opening volumes — signals that the AI Overview surface treats these as independent sources, a structural detail worth monitoring.
Market implication
Branded Residences · London · AI Overview · September 14–20, 2026
The observed opening-control surface for Branded Residences London across this 7-run window is concentrated at the top but populated by focused sources throughout. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, yet all 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs. For any operator monitoring AI visibility on this market, the surface signals that opening-slot volume is not evenly distributed — but access to the opening rail itself is broad.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share' measure?
- AI opening share measures how often a given domain is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer — the first source AI reaches for when constructing its response. It is not the same as general citation share (which counts all citations regardless of position) and is not an organic search ranking.
- What does this card prove and what does it not prove?
- This card proves which domains accumulated the highest share of AI Overview opening slots across 105 queries observed over 7 comparable scheduled runs from September 14–20, 2026. It does not prove general citation share, organic search visibility, or a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
- Why do brand-atlas.com and brandedresi.com show the same percentage?
- Both domains recorded 6.86% AI opening share on this market over the period. They are tied on the metric but hold distinct governed ranks (#5 and #6) based on the panel's tie-break ordering.
