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 AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- How should I read a period observation based on 7 runs?
- This panel is based on 7 comparable scheduled runs — enough to identify the current shape of AI Overview citation visibility, but positions observed here should not be read as permanent structural standings. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date; future windows may produce different distributions.
- Does this card tell me anything about organic search results or who opens AI Overview answers?
- No. This card reads only the AI Overview citation rail — which domains AI Overviews cite as sources. It does not measure organic search rankings, and it does not measure which actor opens AI Overview answers. Those are separate surfaces observed in other card families.
