FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share captures how often a given domain is the source AI Overviews reach for first — the opening slot of the AI answer. It is not the same as general citation share, which counts all citations regardless of position.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. It aggregates 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from August 31 – September 6, 2026. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
- Why does an educational domain appear on this panel?
- insights.ehl.edu appears on the AI Overview opening-control panel because AI Overviews selected it as the opening source for some of this market's queries across the observed window. This card does not infer why AI chose this source — it records only that it did.
