The panel shows a distributed structure on this AI Overview
The panel shows a distributed structure on this AI Overview opening-control surface: the top 3 actors together hold more than the remaining 7 combined, yet the rank-1 actor accumulates less than a fifth of all observed openings. The 9 sources behind youtube.com range from 15.23% down to 3.70%. The surface mixes platforms and focused domains: two platforms (youtube.com and fr.wikipedia.org) sit alongside eight focused sources. 6 of the 10 actors on the panel opened AI answers in all 7 comparable runs; 4 opened AI answers in fewer runs. The bottom of the panel is compressed, with edhec.edu and icsparis.fr both recording 3.70%, while the mid-panel gap between rank-2 and rank-6 spans nearly ten percentage points.
Why this reading matters
Premium Education France / · Paris · AI Overview · Jul 27 – Aug 2, 2026
youtube.com holds the rank-1 position on this AI opening-control rail for Premium Education France, yet its 19.75% share means the surface is not concentrated around a single source. The presence of Ministère de l Éducation nationale at rank-2 — a governmental domain rather than an education-sector operator — signals that AI Overviews on French education queries reach for institutional sources alongside platforms and specialist domains, producing a panel where no single actor type commands the opening slot.
Market implication
Premium Education France / · Paris · AI Overview · Jul 27 – Aug 2, 2026
The distributed structure observed on this AI Overview opening-control surface across the 7-run window suggests that no actor has converted visibility into a commanding opening position on this market. Every area of the panel remains unsettled and open. For any operator monitoring AI opening-control visibility on Premium Education France, the observation signals that the primacy slot is contested across the full query set, and that accumulated opening share is spread across focused sources, platforms, and institutional domains rather than concentrated around a single reference.

FAQ

- This card proves which actors accumulated the highest share of AI Overview openings across 105 queries observed over 7 comparable scheduled runs from July 27 – August 2, 2026. It does not prove general citation share, organic search visibility, or any longer-term trend. AI Overview opening behavior is volatile across queries, models, and dates; future windows may produce different results.
- How were the period values calculated?
- Each actor's AI opening share is the sum of its opening values across all 7 comparable runs in the window, divided by one single period-wide denominator.
