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 queries. It does not measure who opens those AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend or business-market position?
- No. This card observes 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window July 27 – August 2, 2026. It does not establish a multi-month trend, and AI Overview content can vary by query, model, and date. The citation shares reflect cumulative volume over the period, not a single snapshot.
- Why does a niche domain lead the panel ahead of larger platforms?
- AI Overview citations are determined by the AI model's source selection, not by an actor's size or traffic. excellenceriviera.com accumulated the highest citation volume across the 43 observed queries over the 7-run window. This is an observed surface fact, not a measure of broader market authority.
