Key reading
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · July 13–19, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the strongest AI opening share on this market at 18.00%, but the surface behind it is broadly distributed: the 9 sources behind YachtCharterFleet range from 10.00% down to 3.56%. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, confirming that cumulative opening volume is spread across the panel rather than concentrated at the top. youtube.com, a platform rather than a niche domain, sits at 10.00% — the only non-specialist source in the upper portion of the panel. Across the 7-run window, no actor on this surface has converted opening presence into a structurally commanding position; every portion of the panel remains contested.

The opening-control rail for Luxury Yachting Thailand is structurally dispersed. The top 3 actors together hold less than the remaining 7 combined, and the 9 sources behind YachtCharterFleet range from 10.00% down to 3.56%. The panel is dominated by niche domains — youtube.com is the sole platform among the top-10 actors. 8 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; 2 opened AI answers in fewer runs. The spread of 14.44 percentage points between the rank-1 and rank-10 positions is wide enough to separate the panel into a clear lead, a mid-tier cluster, and a lower tier, yet narrow enough that no single actor commands a majority of AI answer openings.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · July 13–19, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail, yet the AI layer in this market remains structurally open — no actor has converted opening presence into a commanding share across the 7-run window. Despite some AI-answer presence from the top two names, every portion of the observed surface remains contested, and the gap between the rank-1 actor and the mid-tier cluster is modest enough that cumulative volume could shift with relatively small changes in AI answer behavior.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI Overview · July 13–19, 2026
Despite some AI-answer presence from the top two names, the AI layer in this market remains structurally open — no actor has converted that presence into a commanding position on the opening-control rail over the 7-run window. The dispersed shape of the panel means that monitoring AI opening behavior on this surface requires tracking the full top-10 rather than a single front-runner. For any actor on this panel, the distance to the rank-1 position is measurable but not insurmountable, which makes the opening-control rail a surface worth watching across future windows.

FAQ
- What does 'AI opening share' measure?
- AI opening share captures which source AI Overviews reach for first when answering a query — the actor cited at the opening of the AI-generated answer. It is not the same as general citation share (which counts all citations within an AI Overview) or organic search ranking.
- How was this panel aggregated?
- Per-actor values represent the sum of each actor's AI answer openings across all 7 comparable scheduled runs in the July 13–19, 2026 window, divided by one single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative opening volume over the period. AI Overview opening-control evidence was available on 7 of 7 runs.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend?
- This observation does not establish a longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates. The 7-run window provides a period aggregate, not a trajectory.
