The shape is wide and contested rather than concentrated around a single source.

Market implication
Luxury Hospitality St Barth · St Barthélemy · AI Overview · Jun 29 – Jul 5, 2026

FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?
- AI opening share captures which source AI Overviews reach for first when opening an answer to a query. It measures the primacy slot — who opens the AI answer — not general citation frequency and not organic search ranking.

- Why do Le Barthelemy Hotel & Spa and youtube.com show the same percentage but different ranks?
- Both record 9.11% AI opening share on this market. They are tied on the metric value, but the governed tie-break ordering assigns them distinct ranks — Le Barthelemy Hotel & Spa at rank 3 and youtube.com at rank 4.
