Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · August 3–9, 2026
The panel mixes one general-purpose platform with four focus
The panel mixes one general-purpose platform with four focused domains, and the citation share is distributed rather than concentrated around a single source. The top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined, but the spread from rank 1 to rank 5 is 10.69 percentage points — a moderate gap that leaves the trailing group within observable range. The 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 13.24% down to 7.03%, forming a gradual slope rather than a sharp cliff. All 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 3–9, 2026
youtube.com's rank-1 position on this AI Overview citation rail is structurally distinct from the rest of the panel: it is the only general-purpose platform among four focused domains. The AI Overview surface for Luxury Yachting Thailand is citing video-hosting content alongside niche yachting sources — a composition worth monitoring for anyone tracking how AI constructs its citation mix in this market.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · August 3–9, 2026
The observed AI Overview citation surface for Luxury Yachting Thailand is open and distributed. No single actor accumulated a commanding share across the 7-run window, and the presence of a general-purpose platform at rank 1 suggests that AI Overviews are not exclusively drawing on specialist yachting sources when answering queries in this market. For operators monitoring their AI citation visibility in Thailand, the period observation signals that the citation rail remains contestable — the gap between the top and bottom of the governed panel is 10.69 percentage points, and all 5 actors were cited across every comparable run.

FAQ
- What does 'AI citation share on this market' measure?
- It measures how often an actor's domain appears as a cited source inside AI Overview answers across the market's observed query set. It does not measure who opens those AI answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- How were the period values calculated?
- Raw AI citations for each actor were summed across all 7 comparable scheduled runs in the August 3–9, 2026 window, and each actor's share was calculated against one single period-wide citation total. The values are not averages of daily shares.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend or business-market position?
- No. This card observes a 7-run window on the AI Overview citation rail only. It does not establish a multi-month trend, does not measure organic search visibility, and does not imply business-market leadership or ownership.
