Pattern on the observed surface

Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI Overview · October 19–25, 2026

The panel is top-heavy

The panel is top-heavy: the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined. The 9 sources behind arthaudyachting.com range from 13.98% down to 2.42%. 5 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; 5 opened AI answers in fewer runs. The surface mixes niche domains and social platforms, with three general-purpose platforms (instagram.com, youtube.com, facebook.com) occupying the middle and lower ranks by cumulative opening volume.

Why this reading matters

Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI Overview · October 19–25, 2026

arthaudyachting.com accumulated the highest AI opening volume on this surface across the 7-run window, yet its 22.85% share means the remaining panel collectively opened more AI answers than the rank-1 actor alone. The concentration is real but not absolute — the opening-control rail for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur distributes signal across a mix of focused sources and social platforms rather than funnelling it through a single domain.

Market implication

Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur · Cannes / Antibes / Saint-Tropez · AI Overview · October 19–25, 2026

The observed opening-control surface for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur signals that AI Overview answers draw from a dispersed set of sources rather than defaulting to one. arthaudyachting.com holds the strongest accumulated opening share across the 7-run window, but the gap between the rank-1 position and the mid-tier cluster (clickandboat.com, excellenceriviera.com, samboat.fr) is narrow enough that shifts in AI opening behavior could redistribute the primacy slot. Monitoring this rail over subsequent windows will clarify whether the current distribution persists.

FAQ

What does AI opening share measure?
AI opening share captures which source AI Overviews reach for first when constructing an answer. It measures the opening-control slot — the primacy position — not general citation share and not organic search ranking.
Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. It aggregates AI Overview opening behavior across 7 comparable scheduled runs in the October 19–25, 2026 window. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different distributions.
Why do some actors appear in fewer runs than others?
Presence frequency reflects how many of the 7 comparable runs an actor opened at least one AI Overview answer. An actor present on 4 of 7 comparable runs carried opening signal on those runs but not on the remaining runs. This is a frequency count, not a quality or authority measure.
