Google Search Console Generative AI Performance Report Expands to More Sites

X postBarry SchwartzNews

Google has expanded access to the generative AI performance report in Search Console across significantly more profiles. The report tracks impressions, URLs, countries, and devices, but still lacks click and query data.

Key points

  1. The generative AI performance report in Search Console has rolled out to many more accounts, though Google's John Mueller confirmed it is not yet live for every domain.
  2. Displaying the report requires sufficient impression volume; properties without enough visibility in generative AI features receive a notice of insufficient data.
  3. Metrics include impressions, URLs (pages), countries, devices, and dates with granularities ranging from hourly to monthly.
  4. The report still does not disclose query data or clicks.

Why it matters

Search professionals gain structured visibility into which content appears in Google's generative AI features. However, the absence of click-through and search query metrics keeps actionable traffic analysis limited.

Analysis

Barry Schwartz initially noted a universal rollout before updating that access has expanded widely but is not yet complete. John Mueller clarified that, similar to Discover and News reports, the panel only surfaces when sufficient impression thresholds are met. The major limitation highlighted by practitioners remains the lack of query-level details and clicks, making it impossible to evaluate direct conversion impact or see the specific user prompts triggering website appearances.
