Hotels in Hanoi
What 6 AI assistants say when asked about hotels in Hanoi, VN. 11 prompts asked, November 2026 edition.
Share of citations by source type, week by week, in Hanoi, across all 6 assistants. Search engine is its own bucket rather than part of metasearch, and covers Google (every regional domain), Bing and the rest. Google AI Mode routes its cited sources through google.com/searchviewer instead of linking the publisher, and those citations were landing under “meta-search” alongside trivago and kayak — which made the mix read as competitive pressure from metasearch when actual metasearch is under 1%. The dashed rule marks the week that started.

Which categories get a line is decided once over the whole window by total citations, not week by week — otherwise a category dropping out of the top N would look like it collapsed to zero. Everything below the cut is summed into “smaller categories” rather than dropped, so the lines always account for the full week. Citations per week: 04-27 516 · 05-04 1,805 · 05-11 1,342 · 05-18 1,408 · 05-25 820 · 06-01 1,014 · 06-08 806 · 06-15 802 · 06-22 579 · 06-29 794 · 07-06 759 · 07-13 1,073 · 07-20 845 · 07-27 948 · 08-03 880 · 08-10 831 · 08-17 796 · 08-24 728 · 08-31 619 · 09-07 298 · 09-14 364 · 09-21 382 · 09-28 329 · 10-05 351 · 10-12 202 · 10-19 360 · 11-02 370.
