Google Search Console gains generative AI performance reports
Google has begun rolling out Search Generative AI performance reports in Search Console, including dedicated reports for Search and Discover, to help sites understand their visibility within Search's generative AI features. Google Search Central confirmed the rollout, which will roll out to a subset of websites first so Google can test and gather feedback before a wider release.
What changed
The reports give site owners a first-party read on how their content surfaces inside AI experiences, a measurement gap that has frustrated publishers as AI answers have grown. Bing has offered comparable AI-visibility reporting for some time, so the move closes a gap rather than breaking new ground.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means SEO and content teams may start to see AI-feature performance data in Search Console, though only a subset of properties will have access at first. Worth checking whether your property is in the rollout and treating the early data as directional while Google iterates.
