Key reading
Luxury Hospitality US Urban-Resort (NY/Miami) · New York / Miami · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
facebook.com holds the rank-1 position on the AI Overview opening-control rail for this market across the 7-run window from August 24–30, 2026, at 20.33% of cumulative AI answer openings. youtube.com sits 2.90 percentage points behind facebook.com on AI opening share on this market, recording 17.43%. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined — yet the only non-platform source in that top tier is forbestravelguide.com at 12.03%. The panel is overwhelmingly composed of social and general-purpose platforms: reddit.com, instagram.com, linkedin.com, tripadvisor.com, en.wikipedia.org, and tiktok.com all appear, while no specialist hotel operator reaches the governed top-10 panel. These rankings rest on a 7-run observation window, and AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates.

Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Hospitality US Urban-Resort (NY/Miami) · New York / Miami · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
The opening-control rail for this market is platform-heavy
The opening-control rail for this market is platform-heavy: social and general-purpose platforms occupy eight of the governed top-10 positions. Only two focused sources — forbestravelguide.com and cntraveler.com — break the platform wall. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, concentrating the opening surface around a small cluster. The 9 sources behind facebook.com range from 17.43% down to 2.07%, producing a spread of 18.26 percentage points between the rank-1 and rank-10 positions. None of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs, and presence frequency tapers sharply toward the bottom of the panel — from 6 of 7 runs for most actors to 2 of 7 runs for tiktok.com.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Hospitality US Urban-Resort (NY/Miami) · New York / Miami · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
facebook.com's rank-1 position on this AI Overview opening-control rail means that when Google's AI answers luxury hospitality queries about New York and Miami, it reaches first for a social platform — not for a hotel brand, a travel guide, or a booking engine. The absence of any specialist hospitality operator from the governed top-10 panel is the structural fact that defines this surface across the observed window.

Luxury Hospitality US Urban-Resort (NY/Miami) · New York / Miami · AI Overview · August 24–30, 2026
