Key reading
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · August 24–30, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the strongest AI citation share on this market in this card scope, at 12.94%, but the gap to the rest of the panel is narrow. The 4 sources behind YachtCharterFleet range from 11.06% down to 9.33%, and the 4 sources behind YachtCharterFleet sit between 1.89 and 3.61 percentage points behind it. Two general-purpose platforms — youtube.com and facebook.com — occupy positions on this citation panel alongside niche domains, which means AI Overviews are drawing from a mix of source types when answering Luxury Yachting Thailand queries. AI Overview citation evidence was available on 6 of 7 runs in the comparable window; one run on August 27, 2026 returned no AI Overview source competitors, so aggregated values reflect the 6 runs with evidence.

The panel is distributed rather than concentrated
The panel is distributed rather than concentrated. The top 2 actors together hold less than the remaining 3 combined. The spread from top to bottom is 3.61 percentage points — a compressed range that leaves no actor with structural separation from the rest. The surface mixes niche domains and general-purpose platforms, with two social platforms occupying mid-panel positions. None of the 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · August 24–30, 2026
YachtCharterFleet holds the top position on this AI Overview citation panel, yet two general-purpose platforms — youtube.com and facebook.com — together appear alongside specialist domains, signaling that AI Overviews for Luxury Yachting Thailand draw from user-generated and social content as readily as from focused yachting sources.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · August 24–30, 2026
The AI Overview citation surface for Luxury Yachting Thailand is wide open on this observed surface across the 7-run window. The compressed spread and the presence of social platforms alongside niche domains suggest that AI Overviews have not converged on a narrow set of specialist sources for this market. Monitoring which source types AI Overviews cite — and whether the citation mix shifts in future windows — is the actionable observation here.

FAQ
- What does AI citation share on this market measure?
- It measures how often a domain appears as a cited source inside AI Overview answers across the market's observed query set. It does not measure organic search ranking, nor does it measure which source opens the AI Overview answer.
- Why was AI Overview citation evidence missing on one run?
- AI Overview citation evidence was available on 6 of 7 runs in the comparable window. The run on August 27, 2026 returned no AI Overview source competitors — meaning either no AI Overview was surfaced or it appeared without source citations. Aggregated values are computed from the 6 runs with available evidence.
- Can this card prove a longer-term trend?
- No. This card observes a 7-run window from August 24–30, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model behavior, and date. A single window does not establish a longer-term trajectory.
