FAQ
- What does AI opening share measure?

- This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. It covers 6 comparable scheduled runs in the window August 17–23, 2026. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; additional windows would be needed to identify any directional pattern.
- Why do platforms like youtube.com and reddit.com appear on a luxury real estate panel?
- AI Overviews select opening sources based on the content they surface for each query, not on the domain's industry classification. Platforms that host relevant user-generated or video content can appear on the opening-control rail for any market.
