FAQ
- What does AI citation share on this market measure?
- AI citation share on this market measures how often an actor's domain appears as a cited source inside AI Overview answers across the governed market panel. It does not measure who opens those AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend in AI Overview citations?
- No. This card observes 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from October 26 – November 1, 2026. AI Overview content is volatile by nature — it varies by query, model, and date. The observation captures a specific window, not a multi-month trajectory.
- Why do social platforms appear ahead of focused sources on this panel?
- This card observes which domains AI Overviews cite, not why. youtube.com records 21.14% and facebook.com records 20.59%, while the highest-ranked focused source, YachtCharterFleet, records 11.46%. The card does not explain the model's selection logic — it reports the observed citation distribution.
