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 window. The top 5 shown is the head of that ranking.
- Does this card tell me who opens AI Overview answers or who ranks in organic search?
- No. This card reads only the AI Overview citation rail — which domains AI Overviews cite as sources. It does not measure who opens AI answers (that is a separate family) and does not reflect organic search rankings.
- Can I infer a longer-term trend from this card?
- This card aggregates 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window November 2–8, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. The period observation widens the evidence base beyond a single run but does not establish a multi-month trend.
