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.
- Why are only platforms on the panel and no hospitality operators?
- The panel is ranked by cumulative AI citation volume across 106 observed queries over 7 comparable runs. Over this window, general-purpose platforms accumulated more citations inside AI Overviews than any specialist hospitality domain. This is an observation of what AI cited, not a judgment on operator quality.
- Can this observation confirm a longer-term pattern?
- No. This card covers an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from July 20–26, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model behavior, and date. A single window does not establish a multi-week or multi-month pattern.
