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 answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This card aggregates 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from July 6–12, 2026. It captures cumulative citation volume over that period but does not prove direction or trajectory beyond the window.
- Why might AI Overview citations vary between observation windows?
- AI Overview content is generated dynamically and can vary by query phrasing, model version, and date. A source cited frequently in one window may appear less often in another, so any single window is a snapshot of citation behavior, not a permanent ranking.
