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 or how actors rank in organic search results.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from July 27 – August 2, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. The period aggregation widens the evidence base beyond a single run but does not establish a multi-month trajectory.
- Why do platforms appear so prominently on a luxury fashion citation panel?
- The card observes which domains AI Overviews actually cite when answering this market's 72 queries. It does not explain why the AI model selects those sources. The observation records the outcome — platforms such as youtube.com, instagram.com, and reddit.com accumulated significant citation volume over the period — without attributing a cause.
