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 observed query panel. It does not measure who opens those AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend in AI Overview citation behavior?
- No. This card observes a 7-run window from October 26 – November 1, 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 trend.
- Why are there no specialist hospitality operators on the top-5 panel?
- The governed top-5 panel ranks actors by cumulative AI citation volume over the period. On this surface and in this window, general-purpose platforms accumulated more citations than any specialist hospitality domain.
