Key reading
Luxury Fashion · Paris · AI Overview · September 7–13, 2026
Le Bon Marché holds the rank-1 position on the AI Overview opening-control rail for Luxury Fashion Paris in the period-wide ranking, at 13.71% of all AI answer openings observed across the 7-run observation period September 7–13, 2026. The panel is fully fragmented: the top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, and the 9 sources behind Le Bon Marché range from 12.18% down to 4.06%. Social platforms — youtube.com, reddit.com, instagram.com, and tiktok.com — occupy four of the governed top-10 positions, yet none surpasses Le Bon Marché's cumulative opening volume. The spread between rank 1 and rank 10 is 9.64 percentage points, a narrow corridor that leaves no actor with a decisive grip on the primacy slot over this period.

Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Fashion · Paris · AI Overview · September 7–13, 2026
The opening-control rail for Luxury Fashion Paris is dispers
The opening-control rail for Luxury Fashion Paris is dispersed rather than concentrated. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, and the top 2 actors together hold less than the remaining 8 combined. Four social platforms — youtube.com, reddit.com, instagram.com, and tiktok.com — share the panel with focused sources and niche domains, producing a surface where general-purpose platforms and specialist domains compete for the same primacy slot. The 9 sources behind Le Bon Marché sit between 1.52 and 9.64 percentage points behind it, a compressed trailing field with no large structural gap separating the mid-panel from the bottom.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Fashion · Paris · AI Overview · September 7–13, 2026
Le Bon Marché holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail, yet the surface around it is populated by platforms and city-focused domains rather than fashion-specialist sources. The mix of social platforms, tourism-oriented domains, and a review domain in the governed top-10 panel suggests that AI Overview opening behavior on this market draws from a wide variety of source types rather than defaulting to a single category of actor.
Market implication
Luxury Fashion · Paris · AI Overview · September 7–13, 2026
The AI Overview opening-control surface for Luxury Fashion Paris is wide open across the 7-run window. The fragmented panel — where no actor exceeds 13.71% of cumulative AI answer openings — signals that the primacy slot is contested across source types and that monitoring this rail requires tracking a diverse set of actors rather than a single front-runner.

FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share captures which actor is cited at the opening of AI Overview answers — the source AI reaches for first when answering a query. It is not the same as general citation share (which counts all citations regardless of position) and is not an organic search ranking.
- How was this panel aggregated?
- Per-actor values reflect the sum of each actor's AI answer openings across all 7 comparable scheduled runs in the observation period September 7–13, 2026, divided by one single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative opening volume over the period, not by an average of daily values.
- Does this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This panel view is based on 7 observation runs over a custom range — a short window that captures a snapshot of the competitive surface, not a settled structural picture. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
