Google Search Console: Generative AI Performance Report Rolled Out Globally

LinkGoogleResource

Google has rolled out the generative AI performance report in Search Console worldwide. The tool tracks impressions generated by AI Overviews and AI Mode, segmented by pages, countries, dates, and devices.

Key points

  1. As of 31 August 2026, the generative AI insights are available to websites worldwide.
  2. The report captures impressions from AI Overviews and AI Mode, excluding active Search Labs experiments.
  3. Available dimensions include pages (canonical URLs), countries, dates (Pacific Time), and device types.
  4. If the report is not visible, reasons include ongoing rollouts, insufficient impressions, or site exclusion from generative AI features.
  5. Data can be exported in chart and table formats, adhering to standard limits such as the 1,000-row table cap.

Why it matters

Site owners have historically lacked dedicated reporting on how frequently their content surfaces within Google's generative search experiences. This dedicated view provides concrete visibility data for AI-driven search formats.

Analysis

The report currently focuses strictly on impression metrics, with no mention of clicks or click-through rates for generative features in the documentation. Nevertheless, it provides SEO and content teams with clear evidence of which canonical URLs Google selects for AI Overviews and how visibility differs across devices and geographies.
