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 panel. It does not measure who opens those AI Overview answers, nor does it reflect organic search ranking.
- Can this card establish a longer-term trend in AI citation behavior?
- No. This card observes 7 comparable scheduled runs in an observation period from October 19–25, 2026. AI Overview content varies by query, model, and date. A single window does not establish a multi-month trajectory.
- Why are DBS Private Bank Hong Kong and scmp.com shown at the same value?
- Both accumulated 7.72% AI citation share on this market across the 7-run window. The ranking reflects cumulative citation volume over the period using one single period-wide denominator; when two actors reach the same cumulative share, they appear at the same value.
