Key reading
Branded Residences · New York · AI Overview · August 10–16, 2026
brandedliving.co holds the strongest AI opening share on this market in this card scope, at 20.37%, but cityrealty.com sits just 4.07 percentage points behind it at 16.30%, and manhattanmiami.com follows at 14.94%. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined. Below the top tier, the 9 sources behind brandedliving.co range from 16.30% down to 3.23%, and the panel includes three general-purpose platforms — reddit.com, youtube.com, and instagram.com — each recording single-digit opening shares. The non-obvious read: an educational subdomain, insights.ehl.edu, occupies a mid-panel position at 5.43%, appearing on a surface otherwise populated by property-focused domains and social platforms.

FAQ

- This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. It aggregates 7 comparable scheduled runs across August 10–16, 2026. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
- Why does this card not report general citation share or organic visibility?
- This card reads only the AI Overview opening-control rail — who opens AI answers. General citation share is a separate metric measured by a different card family. Organic search visibility is a distinct surface not covered here.
