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 panel. It does not measure who opens those AI Overviews, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend in AI Overview citations?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from October 12–18, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single 7-run window does not establish a multi-month trend.
- Why does a platform hold the top position instead of a specialist domain?
- The card observes which domains AI Overviews cite — it does not explain why. youtube.com accumulated the highest AI citation share at 17.16% over the period. The card does not assess the nature or quality of the cited content.
