Key reading
Branded Residences Spain · Marbella / Mallorca / Madrid · AI citation · August 17–23, 2026
youtube.com holds the rank-1 position in the period-wide AI citation ranking at 13.28%, a platform rather than specialist operator leading a panel of focused sources. idealista.com records 10.54% and sits 2.74 percentage points behind youtube.com on AI citation share on this market. The 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 10.54% down to 8.42%, a spread of just 4.85 percentage points between the top and bottom of the governed panel. Across the 7-run window, the Branded Residences Spain AI Overview citation surface is fully fragmented — no actor has captured a decisive share of AI citations across the 106 observed queries. All 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs, yet the compressed values confirm that citation volume is distributed rather than concentrated.

How the actors read on the surface
Branded Residences Spain · Marbella / Mallorca / Madrid · AI citation · August 17–23, 2026
youtube.com holds the strongest AI citation share on this market at 13.28% across the 7-run window, a general-purpose platform sitting at the top of a panel otherwise composed of focused sources. It was cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, but its lead over the next actor is only 2.74 percentage points — a margin that underscores how thinly the citation advantage is drawn.
idealista.com records 10.54% AI citation share on this market and sits 2.74 percentage points behind youtube.com. Cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, it occupies a position on the AI Overview citation panel close enough to the lead that the gap is among the narrowest on this surface.
brandedliving.co records 8.88% AI citation share on this market, sitting 4.40 percentage points behind youtube.com. Cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, it appears as a focused source that AI Overviews draw on consistently across the window.
brand-atlas.com records 8.63% AI citation share on this market and sits 4.65 percentage points behind youtube.com. Its cumulative citation volume across the window places it just 0.25 percentage points from brandedliving.co — a near-identical share that reflects the compressed middle of this panel.
en.savills.es records 8.42% AI citation share on this market, the lowest on the governed top-5 panel, sitting 4.85 percentage points behind youtube.com. Cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, it anchors the bottom of a panel where the distance from rank 1 to rank 5 spans less than 5 percentage points.
Pattern on the observed surface

The panel shape is distinctly flat
The panel shape is distinctly flat. The top 2 actors together hold less than the remaining 3 combined, which means citation volume is not concentrated at the top but dispersed across the full governed panel. The 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 10.54% down to 8.42%, and the total spread from rank 1 to rank 5 is 4.85 percentage points. This is a surface where no single domain — platform or focused source — has pulled away from the group across the observed period.
Why this reading matters
Branded Residences Spain · Marbella / Mallorca / Madrid · AI citation · August 17–23, 2026
youtube.com, a general-purpose platform, holds the rank-1 position on the AI Overview citation rail for Branded Residences Spain across this 7-run window. The four domains behind it are all classified as focused sources rather than platforms, yet none of them individually closes the gap. The surface reads as a fragmented citation landscape where AI Overviews draw on a mix of source types without concentrating on any one.
Market implication
Branded Residences Spain · Marbella / Mallorca / Madrid · AI citation · August 17–23, 2026

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.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from August 17–23, 2026. It does not establish a multi-month trend, and AI Overview content can vary by query, model, and date. Future windows may produce different citation distributions.
- Why does a platform appear at rank 1 instead of a specialist domain?
- AI Overviews cite sources based on the content surfaced for each query, not on the source's business classification. youtube.com accumulated the highest cumulative AI citation volume across the 7-run window for the 106 queries observed on this market. This is an observation of the AI citation surface, not a judgment on business-market positioning.
