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 when Google responds to queries in this market. It does not measure who opens those AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- How were the values in this card calculated?
- Per-actor AI citation share is the sum of the actor's citation values across all 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window August 17–23, 2026, divided by one single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative citation volume over the period.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes a 7-run observation period. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single window does not establish a multi-month trajectory.
