Track AI Search Visibility: Google Search Console Adds Generative AI Reports
Google is rolling out Search Console reports that show how site URLs appear inside AI Overviews, AI Mode, and generative AI features in Discover.
Confirmed: Google has launched dedicated Search Console reporting for visibility inside generative AI features on Search. The reports cover impressions for AI Overviews, AI Mode, and generative AI features in Discover, but access is still rolling out to a subset of sites. This is useful for SEO and creator teams, but it is not a complete AI-search traffic dashboard yet.
What changed
Google announced Search Generative AI performance reports in Search Console on June 3, 2026. The reports give site owners a dedicated view of how their URLs appear inside generative AI features in Search and Discover, instead of forcing teams to infer AI visibility from the standard performance report.
The report currently focuses on impressions. Google says users can review pages, countries, devices for Search, and dates with hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly granularity. Google Help documentation says the rollout is limited and not all properties have access yet.
Why this is early
The feature is official, but the rollout is incremental. Google says it is testing the reports with a subset of websites before wider availability, and Search Engine Land reports that access is expanding to more users while Google reviews feedback.
That makes this a confirmed platform change with limited access. SEO teams should check their own Search Console properties before promising reporting coverage to clients, sponsors, or editorial stakeholders.
Key takeaways
- Search Console now has a dedicated view for generative AI visibility in Search.
- The report tracks impressions, pages, countries, devices, and dates.
- Access is still limited, so many sites may not see the report yet.
- The current documentation does not make this a full click or query-level AI traffic report.
- SEO teams can use it to spot AI visibility trends, but should pair it with analytics and content audits.
| Report area | What it helps answer | Current limit |
|---|---|---|
| Impressions | How often URLs appeared in generative AI features | Does not replace click attribution |
| Pages | Which URLs are visible in AI surfaces | Canonical URL handling can affect grouping |
| Countries | Where AI visibility appears | Country data is still impression-based |
| Devices | Which device types saw the Search result | Available for Search results |
| Dates | How visibility changes over time | Newest data can be preliminary |
Availability and access
Google says the report is rolling out to a subset of website owners. If a property does not show the report, it may not have access yet, may not have enough impressions in generative AI features, or may be excluded from Search generative AI features.
The Search report includes data from the Web search type in the Search results performance report. Google Help also notes that Search Labs experiment data is not included, because those experiments remain in active development.
Practical LinkLoot angle
For creators, publishers, SEO consultants, and ecommerce operators, this closes part of a visibility gap. You can start separating "our pages are shown in AI surfaces" from "our pages are getting search clicks," which matters when rankings look stable but traffic changes.
Use the report as a signal, not a verdict. Build a short weekly workflow: identify pages gaining AI impressions, compare those pages against organic clicks and conversions, then update content where Google is surfacing outdated or thin answers. LinkLoot's AI workflow automation guide can help teams turn that into a repeatable review: /guides/ai-workflow-automation.
What to verify before you act
- Confirm the report appears in each Search Console property you manage.
- Check whether the property has enough generative AI impressions to populate data.
- Separate AI visibility impressions from actual click, lead, and revenue metrics.
- Watch for Google documentation updates on clicks, queries, Discover, and rollout scope.
- Review whether site settings include or exclude content from Search generative AI features.

Confirmed by: Google Search Central announced the report, and Google Search Console Help documents the report's purpose, dimensions, rollout limits, aggregation notes, and export behavior.
Independent context: Search Engine Land corroborates the incremental rollout and reports that more users are seeing the feature as Google reviews feedback.
It shows impression data for URLs appearing in generative AI features, grouped by pages, countries, devices, and dates.
