instagram.com records 11.10% AI citation share on this market and sits 4.21 percentage points behind facebook.com. Cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, it occupies the second position on the panel — another social platform drawing consistent AI Overview citations on a luxury hospitality surface.

The panel splits into two structural tiers
The panel splits into two structural tiers. Three social platforms — facebook.com, instagram.com, youtube.com — occupy the top three positions and together hold more than the remaining 2 combined. Below them, two focused sources — sebastianluxetravel.com and Le Barthelemy Hotel & Spa — sit within a narrow band. The 4 sources behind facebook.com sit between 4.21 and 7.74 percentage points behind it. The surface is platform-heavy at the top and niche-domain-anchored at the bottom, with no single actor accumulating a share large enough to separate decisively from the rest.

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 those AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window September 21–27, 2026. The patterns described reflect this defined range and should be read as a view of the competitive surface over that window, not a settled structural portrait. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date.
- Why are social platforms ranked above hospitality properties?
- The AI Overview citation rail records which domains AI Overviews cite as sources. Social platforms such as facebook.com and instagram.com host user-generated content about St. Barth hospitality that AI Overviews draw on. This card does not assess the quality or relevance of those citations — only their frequency.
