Booking.com gives back 3.3 points to 90% as Gemini's clean sweep breaks, but the leadership gap stays untouched. After Tuesday's reading that pushed Booking.com to 93.3% and a 100% sweep on Gemini, today is a mild step back: Booking.com lands at 90% SoV (-3.3 pts), with Gemini falling from 100% to 90% as the surface that ran the cleanest yesterday. MakeMyTrip is flat at 72.7%, so the Booking-vs-MakeMyTrip gap narrows only marginally to 17.3 pp — leadership is unchanged on every engine. The citation pool is doing most of the talking: stayvista.com (19 → 22), easemytrip.com (14 → 17), inventiva.co.in (11 → 14) and a five-cite jump on a YouTube Short (3 → 8) all continue to carry Booking.com, while ixigo.com — Tuesday's standout climber on ChatGPT — drops from 24 to 17 cites and ixigo's overall SoV slips 4 pts to 44%. The most useful rank story sits at the bottom: Yatra climbs from rank 8 to rank 7 overall (+4 pts to 19.3%) on the back of three new ChatGPT-cited Thailand-package pages, while EaseMyTrip slides from rank 6 back to rank 8 on ChatGPT even as its overall SoV ticks up 1.3 pts on AI Mode strength.

Booking.com gives back 3.3 points to 90% as Gemini's clean sweep breaks, but the leadership gap stays untouched.
The move
After Tuesday's reading that pushed Booking.com to 93.3% and a 100% sweep on Gemini, today is a mild step back: Booking.com lands at 90% SoV (-3.3 pts), with Gemini falling from 100% to 90% as the surface that ran the cleanest yesterday.
MakeMyTrip is flat at 72.7%, so the Booking-vs-MakeMyTrip gap narrows only marginally to 17.3 pp — leadership is unchanged on every engine.
The citation pool is doing most of the talking: stayvista.com (19 → 22), easemytrip.com (14 → 17), inventiva.co.in (11 → 14) and a five-cite jump on a YouTube Short (3 → 8) all continue to carry Booking.com, while ixigo.com — Tuesday's standout climber on ChatGPT — drops from 24 to 17 cites and ixigo's overall SoV slips 4 pts to 44%.
The most useful rank story sits at the bottom: Yatra climbs from rank 8 to rank 7 overall (+4 pts to 19.3%) on the back of three new ChatGPT-cited Thailand-package pages, while EaseMyTrip slides from rank 6 back to rank 8 on ChatGPT even as its overall SoV ticks up 1.3 pts on AI Mode strength.
What it means
The Booking-vs-Indian-challenger story we opened on Monday is now firmly a citation-pool story, not a brand-affinity one.
Booking.com isn't winning because answers prefer it — it's winning because the third-party long tail (travel-insurance pages, Kerala/Goa/Kashmir package operators, corporate-travel listicles, even a YouTube Short) keeps nominating it as the default verb for 'book a hotel.' The AEO move for Indian OTAs is no longer chasing the marquee domains (zigwheels, ToI, ET Travel); it is showing up inside the operator-and-affiliate tier — the kashmirtourtravel.coms and gtholidays.ins — where Booking.com is currently uncontested.
Yatra's quiet ChatGPT climb on three Thailand-package pages is the day's proof-of-concept that the path back is operator-side, not brand-side.
