Key reading
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI Overview · August 17–23, 2026
Northrop & Johnson holds the rank-1 position by cumulative AI opening share on this market across 6 comparable scheduled runs, but the gap to the rest of the panel is modest: the 9 sources behind Northrop & Johnson range from 12.02% down to 3.52%. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, confirming that the opening-control rail is distributed rather than concentrated at the top. facebook.com and IYC both record 7.92% AI opening share on this market, occupying the panel's mid-tier alongside CharterWorld at 7.62%. The bottom of the panel includes miamiyachtingcompany.com and worldwideboat.com, each at 3.52%, and both opened AI answers on only 3 of 6 comparable runs — the only actors on the panel with intermittent presence.

The opening-control rail for Luxury Yachting South Florida i

The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, and the spread from rank 1 to rank 10 is 12.90 percentage points.

Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI Overview · August 17–23, 2026
Northrop & Johnson holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail by cumulative volume, yet the competitive dynamics across the panel have not resolved into a clear hierarchy. The surface remains genuinely open: no actor has locked the AI-answer opening layer over the 6-run window, and the gap between the top four actors leaves room for any shift in AI behavior to rearrange the order.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI Overview · August 17–23, 2026

For any actor monitoring its AI primacy on this surface, the observation signals that the opening slot is contested and that no single source has consolidated the position across the 6-run window August 17–23, 2026.

FAQ

- AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates. miamiyachtingcompany.com and worldwideboat.com each opened AI answers on 3 of 6 comparable runs, while 8 actors opened AI answers on all 6 runs.
