Key reading
Luxury Hospitality · Paris · AI citation · August 24–30, 2026
youtube.com holds the strongest AI citation share on this market in this card scope, at 19.76%, but the 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 14.19% down to 6.37% — a spread of 13.40 percentage points between the top and bottom of the governed panel. The top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined. None of the 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs; AI Overview citation evidence was available on 6 of 7 runs in the comparable window, with one run on August 27, 2026 returning no AI Overview source competitors. The panel composition is notable: every actor in the top 5 is classified as a platform or non-operator domain, and no specialist hospitality operator appears on the governed panel at all.

Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Hospitality · Paris · AI citation · August 24–30, 2026
The panel is top-heavy
The panel is top-heavy: the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 2 combined, and the 4 sources behind youtube.com sit between 5.57 and 13.40 percentage points behind it. The surface is shaped by platforms — three social or general-purpose platforms fill the top three positions, while the bottom two positions belong to focused sources. The spread of 13.40 percentage points between rank 1 and rank 5 signals concentration at the top rather than an even distribution of AI citation share across the panel.
