Key reading
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI Overview · August 10–16, 2026
Northrop & Johnson holds the rank-1 position in the period-wide AI opening-control ranking at 17.44%, but the surface shows a graduated visibility structure across this 6-run window: a distinct top tier, a competitive middle band, and a fragmented tail. YachtCharterFleet records 12.81% and Fraser Yachts and IYC each record 10.08%, forming a contested second band. The 9 sources behind Northrop & Johnson range from 12.81% down to 3.54%, and the top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined — confirming that no single name has taken a commanding position on this AI opening-control surface over the observed period.

Pattern on the observed surface

The panel is dispersed rather than concentrated
The panel is dispersed rather than concentrated. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, and the spread from rank 1 to rank 10 is 13.90 percentage points. The surface mixes focused niche domains with two general-purpose social platforms — facebook.com and youtube.com — that occupy the lower half of the panel. 6 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 6 comparable runs; 4 opened AI answers in fewer runs. The shape is graduated: a clear rank-1 position, a competitive middle band where Fraser Yachts and IYC share the same opening share at 10.08%, and a fragmented tail where the bottom four actors each sit below the panel midpoint.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI Overview · August 10–16, 2026
Northrop & Johnson holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail across the 6-run window, yet the AI-answer layer in this market is wide open — no name has taken a commanding position on it over the observed period. The competitive picture on this surface has not shifted toward consolidation across all 6 runs in this window.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI Overview · August 10–16, 2026
The graduated visibility structure on this opening-control rail — a distinct top tier, a competitive middle band, and a fragmented tail — signals that the AI primacy slot for Luxury Yachting South Florida remains contested across the observed period. No single actor accumulated enough opening volume to separate decisively from the field. For any operator monitoring AI opening-control visibility in Miami / Palm Beach / Fort Lauderdale, the observation reframes the surface as an open contest rather than a settled hierarchy.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share on this market' measure?
- It measures which actor is cited at the very opening of AI Overview answers — the source AI reaches for first when answering a query. It is not the same as general citation share (which counts all citations anywhere in the AI answer) and it is not an organic search ranking.
- How were the values aggregated across the 6-run window?
- Each actor's raw AI answer openings were summed across all 6 comparable scheduled runs in the window August 10–16, 2026, and each actor's share is its total openings divided by one single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative opening volume over the period, not by an average of daily values.
- Does this card establish a longer-term trend for any actor?
- This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates. The 6-run window provides a period aggregate, not a directional signal.
