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 or how actors rank in organic search results.
- How was this panel aggregated across the window?
- Raw AI citations for each actor were summed across all 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window September 14–20, 2026, and each actor's share was calculated against one single period-wide denominator. The ranking reflects cumulative citation volume, not a daily average. AI Overview evidence was available on 7 of 7 runs.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable runs. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single window does not establish whether citation shares are rising or falling over a longer horizon.
