Key reading
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI citation · September 14–20, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the top position on the AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Yachting South Florida across the 7-run observation period, at 13.90%. youtube.com sits 1.36 percentage points behind YachtCharterFleet on AI citation share on this market, recording 12.54%. The 4 sources behind YachtCharterFleet range from 12.54% down to 7.05%, and the top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined. The panel is distributed rather than concentrated: no single actor has accumulated a commanding share of AI Overview citations across the period. All 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs, yet the lead margin remains narrow enough that the citation surface on this market has not resolved around a single source.

Pattern on the observed surface

The panel's shape is compressed rather than top-heavy
The panel's shape is compressed rather than top-heavy. The top-to-bottom spread is 6.85 percentage points, and the 4 sources behind YachtCharterFleet sit between 1.36 and 6.85 percentage points behind it. A platform — youtube.com — sits at rank 2, mixing with focused domains rather than clustering separately. The top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 2 combined, but no single actor has pulled far enough ahead to define the surface. The structure suggests a citation rail where AI Overviews draw from a distributed set of sources rather than anchoring on one.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI citation · September 14–20, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the top position on this AI Overview citation rail, yet the presence of youtube.com at rank 2 — a general-purpose platform rather than a focused domain — signals that AI Overviews on this market cite across source types, not exclusively from niche domains. The competitive band between these two actors is only 1.36 percentage points, making the citation surface structurally open.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting South Florida · Miami / Palm Beach · AI citation · September 14–20, 2026
The distributed shape of this AI Overview citation panel across the 7-run window suggests that no actor has accumulated a decisive citation advantage on the Luxury Yachting South Florida surface. With all 5 actors cited in all 7 comparable runs and a top-to-bottom spread of only 6.85 percentage points, the citation rail remains a contested surface where small shifts in AI Overview sourcing could reorder the panel. Monitoring citation share over subsequent windows will clarify whether this distribution narrows or persists.
