Key reading
Premium Education US West Coast · San Francisco Bay Area / Los Angeles · Organic search · July 20–26, 2026
niche.com most often holds the top organic position on this surface, showing 30.48% observed presence across the 7-run window. reddit.com, a general-purpose platform, records the widest breadth at 47.07% but does not hold the top organic position as frequently. The gap from the panel's first-ranked actor to the fifth is only 7.62 percentage points, and across all 7 runs in this window the competitive picture held steady: every one of the seven topic areas stayed unsettled with no actor reaching a captured position at any point. The surface is distributed rather than concentrated — presence is shared broadly, and no single domain has pulled decisively away from the rest in this window.

How the actors read on the surface
Premium Education US West Coast · San Francisco Bay Area / Los Angeles · Organic search · July 20–26, 2026
niche.com most often holds the top organic position on the observed organic surface, and shows 30.48% observed presence as breadth context. It appeared in 7 of 7 comparable runs, making it one of the most consistent presences on this panel across the window.
reddit.com holds the broadest observed presence on this panel at 47.07%, appearing in 7 of 7 comparable runs. As a general-purpose platform, it surfaces across a wider set of queries than any other actor — yet it does not hold the top organic position as often as niche.com.
boardingschoolreview.com appeared in 4 of 7 comparable runs, the least consistent presence on this panel. Its observed presence sits at 11.19%, the narrowest breadth among the top 5 — a focused source surfacing on a smaller slice of the query set.
yelp.com holds 15.51% observed presence and appeared in 7 of 7 comparable runs. Its steady presence across every run contrasts with its relatively narrow breadth, suggesting it surfaces reliably but on a contained portion of the query panel.
Facebook appeared in 6 of 7 comparable runs with 22.86% observed presence. It occupies a position on the organic panel for this market, surfacing with comparable breadth to niche.com but without holding the top organic position as frequently.
Pattern on the observed surface
Premium Education US West Coast · San Francisco Bay Area / Los Angeles · Organic search · July 20–26, 2026
The panel mixes focused sources and general-purpose platform
The panel mixes focused sources and general-purpose platforms in roughly equal measure. reddit.com and Facebook bring platform-scale breadth, while niche.com and boardingschoolreview.com represent niche domains, and yelp.com sits between the two groups. Across all 7 runs in this window, the competitive picture held steady: every one of the seven topic areas stayed unsettled with no actor reaching a captured position at any point. The top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined, but the overall spread remains narrow — the surface is contested rather than locked.
Why this reading matters
Premium Education US West Coast · San Francisco Bay Area / Los Angeles · Organic search · July 20–26, 2026
niche.com holds the top organic position most often despite recording lower breadth than reddit.com. This split — where the actor with the widest query coverage is not the one that most frequently captures the first organic slot — signals that breadth and positional strength are distinct dimensions on this surface.
Market implication
Premium Education US West Coast · San Francisco Bay Area / Los Angeles · Organic search · July 20–26, 2026
The narrow 7.62-percentage-point spread across the top 5 and the absence of any captured position across all seven topic areas suggest that organic visibility on Premium Education US West Coast remains open to reordering. Any actor that consistently improves its top-position frequency on even a small cluster of queries could shift the panel hierarchy within a short window.

FAQ
- What does 'observed presence' measure on this card?
- It measures how broadly an actor appears across the 105 queries observed in each run — the percentage of queries on which the actor was seen in organic results. It is breadth context, not the ranking axis.
- How is the panel ranked if not by observed presence?
- The panel is ranked by top organic position — how often each actor holds the number-one organic spot across the observed queries, aggregated across the 7-run window. An actor with lower observed presence can outrank one with higher presence if it captures the top position more frequently.
- Can this card prove a long-term trend?
- No. This analysis covers a 7-run observation window — a short enough span that visibility positions should be read as a snapshot, not as settled structural standings. No multi-month trend is claimed.
