youtube.com holds the strongest AI citation share on this market at 20.34%, accumulated across 7 comparable scheduled runs. instagram.com follows at 15.46%, sitting 4.87 percentage points behind youtube.com on AI citation share on this market.

Pattern on the observed surface

The panel is top-heavy but not dominated by a single source
The panel is top-heavy but not dominated by a single source. The top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined, yet the gap between rank 1 and rank 2 is only 4.87 percentage points — a moderate separation rather than a runaway lead. The bottom of the panel is compressed: the 4 sources behind youtube.com sit between 4.87 and 11.50 percentage points behind it. Composition is the striking feature: three social platforms occupy the top three positions, with two focused editorial domains rounding out the panel. All 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs. With only 7 runs in this observation window, the structural patterns described here are bounded to the period observed — they may not persist beyond it.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Hospitality US Urban-Resort (NY/Miami) · New York / Miami · AI citation · September 14–20, 2026
youtube.com holds the rank-1 position by cumulative AI citation volume over the period, yet it is a general-purpose platform — not a hospitality operator, not an editorial travel publication. The AI Overview citation rail for this market, across this 7-run window, routes its citations primarily through user-generated and social platforms rather than through specialist hospitality domains.
Market implication
Luxury Hospitality US Urban-Resort (NY/Miami) · New York / Miami · AI citation · September 14–20, 2026
The observed AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Hospitality US Urban-Resort (NY/Miami) across this 7-run window signals that AI-generated answers draw heavily on platform content when sourcing citations for this market. The absence of any specialist hospitality operator from the governed top-5 panel suggests that, on this observed surface during this period, property-level domains are not the sources AI Overviews reach for when citing luxury hospitality in New York and Miami.
