The panel is dispersed rather than concentrated

All 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs.

Why this reading matters

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

arthaudyachting.com leads the AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur, yet its margin over instagram.com is narrow — 2.32 percentage points. The presence of two social platforms among the top-5 most-cited sources suggests that AI Overviews on this market are treating user-generated and discussion content as citable material alongside focused domains.

Market implication

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

The observed AI Overview citation surface for Luxury Yachting Côte d'Azur is distributed across focused domains and social platforms, with no single source accumulating a commanding citation share over the 7-run window. This signals that monitoring AI citation behavior on this market requires tracking both specialist sources and general-purpose platforms — the citation rail does not default to one category of source.

FAQ

What does AI citation share on this market measure?
It measures how often an actor's domain appears as a source cited inside AI Overview answers across the market's observed query panel. It does not measure who opens AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.

On this market, instagram.com records 14.85% and facebook.com records 9.75% AI citation share, indicating that AI Overview answers cite user-generated and social content alongside focused domains when responding to luxury yachting queries in France.
