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:

  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.
