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 set. It does not measure who opens those AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.

No. This card observes 5 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from June 15–21, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. The observation captures one window and does not establish a multi-month trajectory.
Why are platforms rather than fashion retailers at the top of this panel?
