Yoga Bar held the fragmentation lead at 30.4% citation share as 89 new domains entered the pool in a single edition, the largest pool expansion across all ten verticals today.

The move

Yoga Bar retained rank 1 at 30.4% citation share, essentially flat (down 0.4 percentage points), with consistent coverage across ChatGPT (28.9%), Gemini (28.9%), and AI Mode (33.3%).

The Whole Truth is the biggest mover, falling 6.2 percentage points to 23% and dropping from rank 2 to rank 3, with the decline concentrated on AI Mode where it fell to 15.6% rank 4, while Gemini kept it at 28.9% rank 2.

Soulfull gained 4.6 percentage points to 10.4% and climbed two ranks to rank 6, with the move primarily on Gemini (15.6% rank 5).

Eighty-nine new domains entered the citation pool, including brand-owned domains yogabar.in, trueelements.com, and soulfull.co.in, as well as third-party health publishers food.ndtv.com, healthyium.co.in, and reddit.com/r/Protein.

What it means

At 30.4% leader share this vertical is deeply fragmented, meaning AI search distributes its answers across the field without a dominant frame, which is categorically different from the near-locked verticals in today's index.

In fragmented categories, a 89-domain pool expansion has an outsized effect on rankings because each new publisher shifts the citation denominator more sharply than in concentrated categories.

The entry of brand-owned domains yogabar.in and soulfull.co.in is consistent with the June 18 GEO scale study finding that approximately 78% of AI citations point to corporate sites, meaning direct brand-domain presence in the pool materially supports citation frequency when engines are assembling fragmented answers.

The Whole Truth's AI Mode weakness is the signal most worth investigating: with no corresponding Gemini drop (still rank 2 at 28.9%), the fall is engine-specific and suggests Google's AI Mode citation stack is now pulling from sources that do not feature The Whole Truth as prominently as the ChatGPT and Gemini pools do.
