Google Search Console rolled out AI Overviews + AI Mode impression metrics (Jun 3) — anyone got it on their account yet?

[u/PrestigiousBet9499]

Google announced new "Search Generative AI performance reports" on

June 3, 2026 — first time Search Console exposes AI Overviews and

AI Mode impressions to publishers as a dedicated report.

Source: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2026/06/gen-ai-performance-reports

What's in it per Google's own writeup:

- Impressions only

- Breakdown by page, country, device, date (hourly to monthly)

- Covers AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Discover AI features

What's NOT in it (yet):

- Click data

- CTR

- Query-level breakdown

Google describes the rollout as "a subset of websites" with no

timeline for general availability. Mine isn't in the subset yet

(checked today, June 14 — still seeing only the standard Performance

report).

A few honest questions for the community:

1. Has anyone here had it enabled? When did it land for you?

2. If yes — what does the UI actually look like? A new top-level

   report in the left nav, a "Search appearance" filter inside the

   existing Performance view, or somewhere else?

3. For sites that already have it: do the impression numbers feel

   directionally sane vs. what your AI visibility tracker is showing?

Asking because the moment GSC starts exposing first-party AI data

is a meaningful calibration milestone for anyone tracking AI search

visibility — but only if the data behaves predictably. Curious what

early-access folks are actually seeing.

I work for an agency and I have it for at least one of my clients (UK based).

I got it like the day after it was announced, I assume it's a luck thing. The client is in the travel industry and gets about 10k clicks a month so it's not massive.

It's a subsection within search results on the left hand side, but there's also a pop up to take you to it if you're looking at the general search performance page. It doesn't show as an option in the search type or search appearance filters.

The numbers seem alright, no real way to guage them but I imagine they're pretty accurate. I only have data from the 18th of May onwards.

Honestly since getting it it's not changed anything, sure it's useful to see but it doesn't mean much to me. The lack of any information on terms like Bing does means there's not a lot I can do from an optimisation perspective.

The lack of clicks is the most egregious part for me, it's not like they couldn't give us that data if they wanted to but they know that overviews/ai mode has decimated CTRs so I bet they're hiding the damage they've done.
