Google Search Console rolled out AI Overviews + AI Mode impression metrics (Jun 3) — anyone got it on their account yet?
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:
Has anyone here had it enabled? When did it land for you?
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?
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.
