Pattern on the observed surface

The panel is structurally top-heavy
The panel is structurally top-heavy: the top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined, and the concentration is driven almost entirely by two social platforms rather than by focused sources. The 4 sources behind youtube.com range from 10.60% down to 5.68%, forming a compressed trailing group where no actor has broken away. The mix of actor types is notable — two platforms occupy the top two positions, while the three remaining slots belong to domains with narrower editorial profiles. The surface reads as platform-led, with the specialist and institutional layer clustered well behind.

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.
- How was this period observation constructed?
- Per-actor AI citation values were summed across all 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window (September 28 – October 4, 2026), using one single period-wide denominator. The panel is ranked by cumulative citation volume over the period. This reading is based on 7 observation runs — enough to describe the current visibility landscape, but not enough to confirm whether this structure persists beyond this window.
- Can this card confirm a longer-term trend?
- No. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. This card observes a 7-run window and does not establish whether the observed citation structure holds outside this period.
