Pattern on the observed surface

Branded Residences Spain · Marbella / Mallorca / Madrid · AI Overview · July 20–26, 2026

The panel is top-weighted but not concentrated in a single a

The panel is top-weighted but not concentrated in a single actor. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, which means the upper tier carries the majority of cumulative opening volume. The 9 sources behind idealista.com range from 14.95% down to 3.64%, forming a gradual slope rather than a sharp cliff. The surface is almost entirely composed of focused sources and niche domains; youtube.com is the only general-purpose platform on the panel. 7 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; 3 opened AI answers in fewer runs.

Why this reading matters

Branded Residences Spain · Marbella / Mallorca / Madrid · AI Overview · July 20–26, 2026

idealista.com holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail by cumulative volume, yet its 20.81% share leaves the remaining nine sources collectively carrying the larger portion of observed openings. The surface reads as a contested space where focused sources — not platforms — supply the opening material for AI answers on Branded Residences Spain.

Market implication

Branded Residences Spain · Marbella / Mallorca / Madrid · AI Overview · July 20–26, 2026

The observation signals that no actor has secured established authority on the AI Overview opening-control surface for Branded Residences Spain across the 7-run window. The spread of 17.17 percentage points between idealista.com and tyrian.es is wide, but the rank-1 share itself is modest enough that the surface remains open to reordering. For any actor monitoring AI opening visibility on this market, the reading is structural: the opening rail draws from a dispersed field of focused sources, and the gap between the top three and the rest is narrower than the gap between the rank-1 actor and the bottom of the panel.

FAQ

What does 'AI opening share' measure?
AI opening share measures how often a given source is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer — the first source the AI reaches for when constructing its response. It is distinct from general citation share, which counts all citations regardless of position.
Does this card prove that idealista.com is the most important source for branded residences in Spain?
No. The card observes which sources AI Overviews reached for first across 106 queries over 7 comparable scheduled runs (July 20–26, 2026) on Google desktop in Spain. It does not measure business-market standing, organic search ranking, or user trust.
Can I read a longer-term trend from this card?
This card covers an observation period of 7 comparable runs. It does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different rankings.
