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 Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend in AI citation behavior?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from August 3–9, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. The observation captures one period, not a multi-month trajectory.
- Why are there no specialist hospitality operators on the panel?
- The governed top-5 panel is ranked by cumulative AI citation volume over the period. The actors that accumulated the highest citation volume across 105 observed queries and 7 runs were platforms and focused editorial sources. This does not mean operators are absent from AI Overviews entirely — only that they did not rank in the top 5 by cumulative citation share across this window.
