Pattern on the observed surface

The panel is compressed
The panel is compressed : a spread of 3.19 percentage points separates the top from the bottom of the governed top-5. Two general-purpose platforms — youtube.com and facebook.com — bookend the ranking, while three focused sources occupy the middle positions. The top 2 actors together hold less than the remaining 3 combined. This structure describes a surface where AI Overview citations are distributed across a mix of platform and niche-domain sources, with no concentration at the top and no clear separation between actor types on cumulative citation volume over the period.
Why this reading matters
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · September 21–27, 2026
youtube.com — a general-purpose platform — holds the rank-1 position on the AI Overview citation rail for Luxury Yachting Thailand across this 7-run window, ahead of niche domains and another social platform. The surface does not favor one source type over another; it distributes citations thinly across both platforms and focused sources, leaving the citation landscape for this market without a structurally dominant actor type.
Market implication
Luxury Yachting Thailand · Phuket / Koh Samui · AI citation · September 21–27, 2026
The AI Overview citation surface for Luxury Yachting Thailand in this window shows no concentrated citation authority on any single actor or actor type. The narrow 3.19 percentage-point spread across the governed top-5 panel suggests that AI Overview answers draw from a dispersed set of sources when responding to this market's queries. For anyone monitoring AI citation behavior on this surface, the observation signals that citation share on this market remains fragmented across the period — no actor has accumulated a decisive citation advantage over the 7-run window.
