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 when Google responds to queries on the Premium Education Singapore market. It does not measure who opens those AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Does this card prove a longer-term pattern?
- No. This card observes the AI Overview citation rail across 7 comparable scheduled runs in the window October 12–18, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single 7-run window does not establish a multi-month pattern or a directional shift.
- Why do social platforms appear ahead of education-specific domains?
- This card observes which domains AI Overviews cite — it does not explain why. facebook.com and youtube.com accumulated higher citation volumes than whichschooladvisor.com and skoolopedia.com across the window. The reasons behind AI Overview source selection are not visible from this surface.
