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 AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Why was AI Overview citation evidence missing on one run?

The run on August 27, 2026 returned no AI Overview source competitors — meaning no AI Overview surface was returned or it was returned without source citations on that date.

- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from August 24–30, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single window does not establish a multi-month trend.
