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.
- Does this card prove a longer-term trend in AI Overview citations?
- No. This card aggregates AI Overview citation data across 5 comparable scheduled runs in the window June 15–21, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A wider window or additional runs would be needed to assess longer-term patterns.
- Why does a general-purpose platform lead the AI Overview citation panel for an education market?
- AI Overviews cite the sources their underlying model selects for each query. youtube.com accumulated the highest cumulative citation volume across the 105 observed queries over the 5-run window. This card observes the citation surface as it appeared — it does not explain the model's source-selection logic.
