FAQ

What does AI citation share on this market measure?
It measures an actor's share of the citations recorded for the sources in this ranking. Each daily observation contributes its ranked sources, pooled over the 7-run window; the top 5 shown is the head of that ranking.
Does this card prove who opens AI Overview answers or who ranks in organic search?
No. This card reads the AI Overview citation rail only — who AI Overviews cite as a source. It does not measure who opens AI Overview answers (a separate observation) and makes no claim about organic search ranking.
Can these results change in future windows?
AI Overview content varies by query, model behaviour, and date. This card captures a 7-run window from November 2–8, 2026, and does not establish a longer-term trend.
