Pattern on the observed surface
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · October 5–11, 2026
The panel is platform-heavy
The panel is platform-heavy: three of the five positions belong to general-purpose platforms (facebook.com, youtube.com, tripadvisor.com), while two niche domains (YachtCharterFleet and asiaglobalyachting.com) hold the remaining slots. The structure is compressed rather than top-heavy — the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 2 combined, but the spread from rank 1 to rank 5 is only 6.01 percentage points. The 4 sources behind facebook.com range from 11.13% down to 6.95%. All 5 actors on the panel were cited in all 7 comparable runs, producing a surface where citation volume is distributed across both platform and niche-domain sources.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · October 5–11, 2026
facebook.com holds the rank-1 AI citation share on this market across the 7-run window — a social platform, not a specialist yachting source, accumulating the highest citation volume on the AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Yachting Thailand. The presence of two niche domains alongside three platforms signals that AI Overviews draw from a mixed source pool on this surface.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · October 5–11, 2026

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 Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend in AI citation behavior?
- No. This card observes a 7-run window from October 5–11, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single window does not establish whether citation patterns are rising, falling, or holding steady over a longer horizon.
- Why does a social platform hold the rank-1 position on this AI Overview citation panel?
- AI Overviews cite sources based on the content they surface for each query. facebook.com accumulated the highest citation volume across the 7-run window at 12.96%, but the gap to the rank-2 actor is 1.83 percentage points — the surface does not show a decisive separation.
