Key reading
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · October 12–18, 2026
facebook.com leads the period-wide AI Overview citation ranking at 16.14%, with youtube.com at 12.60% and YachtCharterFleet at 12.47% close behind. The 4 sources behind facebook.com range from 12.60% down to 5.64%. The spread between the rank-1 and rank-5 positions is 10.50 percentage points — a moderate gap that leaves the surface distributed rather than dominated. Three of the five panel actors are general-purpose platforms; only YachtCharterFleet and asiaglobalyachting.com are focused sources. The panel composition signals that AI Overviews on this market draw heavily from user-generated and aggregator content rather than from niche domains.

Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · October 12–18, 2026
The panel is platform-heavy
The panel is platform-heavy: three of the five actors are general-purpose or social platforms, and the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 2 combined. Yet no single actor commands a decisive share — the spread between rank 1 and rank 5 is 10.50 percentage points, and the 4 sources behind facebook.com sit between 3.54 and 10.50 percentage points behind it. The surface is distributed, with citation volume split across platforms and focused sources rather than concentrated in one domain. 4 of the 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs; 1 were cited in fewer runs.

- No. This card observes an observation period of 7 comparable scheduled runs from October 12–18, 2026. It captures accumulated citation volume over that period but does not establish a multi-month trajectory or directional movement.
