Forbes & Partners holds the strongest AI citation share on this market in this card scope, at 22.18%. It was cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, accumulating the highest citation volume over the period — yet the gap to the next actor is narrow enough that the surface remains contested.
Elite Havens records 15.56% AI citation share on this market and sits 6.62 percentage points behind Forbes & Partners. Cited in 7 of 7 comparable runs, it occupies a position on the AI Overview citation panel that keeps the rank-1 actor within reach across the window.

Pattern on the observed surface

The panel mixes specialist domains and general-purpose platf
The panel mixes specialist domains and general-purpose platforms. The top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined, yet the surface is not top-heavy in the conventional sense: the 4 sources behind Forbes & Partners range from 15.56% down to 7.73%, a gradient rather than a cliff. All 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs. The presence of two non-operator platforms — facebook.com and youtube.com — alongside three specialist domains shapes a surface where AI Overviews mix curated operator content with user-generated material.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Villa Rental (Phuket & Koh Samui) · Thailand · AI citation · Aug 31 – Sep 6, 2026
Forbes & Partners accumulated the highest AI citation volume across the window, yet the distributed shape of the panel means that citation authority on this AI Overview surface remains unresolved. The surface reads as open: no single source has converted breadth of citation into a decisive separation from the rest of the governed top-5.
Market implication
Luxury Villa Rental (Phuket & Koh Samui) · Thailand · AI citation · Aug 31 – Sep 6, 2026
The distributed structure of this AI Overview citation surface suggests that monitoring citation share on this market requires attention to the full panel, not just the rank-1 position. With all 5 actors cited across every comparable run and the spread at 14.45 percentage points, any shift in cumulative citation volume from one period to the next could rearrange the ranking without a single actor needing to disappear from the rail.

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 answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- How were the period values calculated?
- Raw AI citations for each actor were summed across all 7 comparable runs in the window, and each actor's share was calculated against one single period-wide citation total. The result is a cumulative share, not a daily average.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes a 7-run window from August 31 – September 6, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single period window does not establish a multi-month trajectory.
