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.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This panel is based on 6 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from September 28 – October 4, 2026. It maps the competitive landscape over that period but does not support long-term structural conclusions about who holds or loses positioning. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date.
- Why does a social platform hold the rank-1 position?
- AI Overviews cite sources based on their own model logic, not on whether a domain is a specialist in the market. instagram.com accumulated the highest citation volume across the 6-run window at 13.03%, ahead of focused domains and niche sources on this panel.
