    Key findings

    • - Not all Spanish queries trigger overview-style behaviour consistently.
    • - Source preferences can differ by intent and content format.
    • - A useful benchmark explains where owned content is absent and which third-party publishers fill the gap.

    Methodology

    • - Record the cited source mix and cluster the results by intent.
    • - Compare brand participation against competitor and publisher participation.
