Pattern on the observed surface
Branded Residences · New York · AI Overview · September 21–27, 2026
The panel is top-heavy
The panel is top-heavy. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, and the spread between rank 1 and rank 10 is 18.15 percentage points. Below the top two, the surface disperses into a cluster of niche domains and one social platform, with the 9 sources behind brandedliving.co ranging from 17.20% down to 3.36%. The panel is dominated by focused domains rather than large general-purpose platforms: facebook.com is the sole platform presence. 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 · New York · AI Overview · September 21–27, 2026
brandedliving.co holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail across the 7-run window, yet the surface it leads is composed almost entirely of niche domains — no large aggregator or general-purpose platform other than facebook.com appears. For a New York branded-residences market observed across 107 queries, the AI opening rail draws from a narrow, specialist source pool.
Market implication
Branded Residences · New York · AI Overview · September 21–27, 2026
The concentration at the top of this opening-control rail signals that AI Overviews on the Branded Residences New York surface reach for a small set of focused domains when constructing the opening of their answers. The gap between the rank-1 and rank-2 actors — 4.30 percentage points — is meaningful but not insurmountable, while the distance from rank 1 to the rest of the panel is substantial. Monitoring this surface over subsequent windows will clarify whether the opening-control distribution remains top-heavy or begins to disperse.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share' measure?
- AI opening share measures how often a given domain is cited at the opening of an AI Overview answer — the source AI reaches for first when constructing its response. It is not the same as general citation share, which counts all citations regardless of position.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This observation covers 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window September 21–27, 2026. It does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different distributions.
- Why does the panel include an educational domain like insights.ehl.edu?
- The panel reflects which domains AI Overviews actually reached for first across 107 observed queries in this window. insights.ehl.edu appeared at the opening of AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs, earning its position through observed opening volume, not editorial selection.
