Key reading
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · Los Angeles · AI Overview · Sep 28 – Oct 4, 2026
youtube.com holds the rank-1 position on the period-wide AI opening-control ranking at 20.70%, yet the surface behind it remains structurally open. facebook.com and Zillow both record 11.15% AI opening share on this market, each sitting 9.55 percentage points behind youtube.com. linkedin.com matches them at 11.15% but opened AI answers on 6 of 7 comparable runs rather than all 7. The AI-answer layer for Los Angeles real estate queries remains wide open — in this observation window, no name has converted visibility into established authority on this observed AI surface. The 9 sources behind youtube.com range from 11.15% down to 2.55%, a distribution where no single trailing actor commands a decisive share.

Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Real Estate Advisory · Los Angeles · AI Overview · Sep 28 – Oct 4, 2026
The panel is top-heavy by actor type
The panel is top-heavy by actor type: social platforms and general-purpose platforms occupy the top four positions and the bottom slot, while specialist domains and focused sources cluster in the middle and lower ranks. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined. Three actors — facebook.com, Zillow, and linkedin.com — are tied at 11.15% on the metric, yet separated by governed tie-break into ranks 2, 3, and 4. 6 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; 4 opened AI answers in fewer runs. The shape suggests AI reaches broadly across platform types for its opening slot on this market, with no specialist operator breaking into the top five.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share on this market' measure?
- It measures which actor is cited at the very opening of AI Overview answers — the source AI reaches for first when answering a query. This is distinct from general citation share, which counts all citations across the full AI Overview answer.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend in AI opening behavior?
- No. This observation covers 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from September 28 – October 4, 2026. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates. This observation does not establish a longer-term trend.
- Why do facebook.com, Zillow, and linkedin.com all show 11.15%?
- All three actors accumulated the same share of AI Overview openings over the period. Their governed ranks (2, 3, 4) reflect a deterministic tie-break applied to actors with identical cumulative opening volume, not a difference in the metric itself.
