FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share on this market' measure?
- It measures how often a given actor is the source cited at the very opening of an AI Overview answer across the market's observed query set. It captures the primacy slot — who AI reaches for first — not general citation frequency and not organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend or business-market position?
- No. This observation covers 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period (July 6–12, 2026). It does not establish a longer-term trend, and AI opening share does not measure general citation share or organic visibility. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates.
- How should I read the presence frequency shown for each actor?
- Presence frequency counts the number of comparable runs in which an actor opened at least one AI Overview answer. An actor that opened AI answers on 7 of 7 comparable runs carried opening signal in every run; an actor at 5 of 7 carried signal in fewer runs. This is a frequency count, not a ranking axis — the panel is ranked by cumulative opening volume over the period.
