Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI Overview · October 12–18, 2026
The opening-control rail for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur is
The opening-control rail for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur is moderately concentrated at the top: the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined. Yet the rank-1 share sits at 17.87%, which means no single source commands a decisive opening position. The panel splits between niche domains and social platforms — three general-purpose platforms (instagram.com, youtube.com, facebook.com) sit alongside specialist domains, giving the surface a dual character. Presence frequency also divides the panel evenly: 5 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs, while 5 opened AI answers in fewer runs.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI Overview · October 12–18, 2026
arthaudyachting.com holds the rank-1 position on this AI Overview opening-control rail across the 7-run window, yet the gap to the rank-2 actor is only 4.94 percentage points. The contest between the top four niche domains — all present on every comparable run — is tighter than the overall spread suggests, while the three social platforms on the panel introduce a source-type dimension that complicates any simple reading of who AI reaches for first on this market.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI Overview · October 12–18, 2026
The observed opening-control surface for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur signals that AI Overview sourcing on this market draws from a mix of focused sources and general-purpose platforms, with no single actor accumulating a commanding share across the 7-run window. The presence of three social platforms in the governed top-10 panel suggests that AI answer openings on this market are not confined to specialist domains. Monitoring this surface over a longer window would clarify whether the current rank-1 margin holds or whether the contested mid-panel reshapes the hierarchy.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share on this market' measure?
- It measures which domain is cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer — the source AI reaches for first when responding to a query. It is not the same as general citation share, which counts all citations regardless of position.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This reading is based on 7 comparable scheduled runs over a one-week observation period (October 12–18, 2026). The rankings are consistent across those runs, but structural conclusions require a longer observation period. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates.
- Why do some actors share the same displayed AI opening share?
- facebook.com and alliedyachting.com both record 3.04% AI opening share on this market. They are tied on the metric value but hold distinct governed ranks (#8 and #9) based on the period-wide tie-break ordering.
