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 AI Overviews, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Why are only platforms on this panel?
- The governed top-5 panel is ranked by cumulative AI citation volume over the period. On this market and in this window, the domains most frequently cited by AI Overviews were all general-purpose or social platforms. This does not mean specialist operators are absent from AI Overviews entirely — it means none accumulated enough citation volume to enter the top-5 ranking.
- Can this card establish a longer-term pattern for Luxury Fashion Paris?
- No. This card observes 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from October 19–25, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model behavior, and date. A single window does not establish a multi-month pattern.
