This is such a big deal. People think Google is pranking us. Google is finally giving an AI report in Google Search Console.
Google Search Console is Google's own tool for seeing how your website appears in Google's search index. Shows you how many clicks you get from SEO, what people search to find your website, who is linking to your website. Problems with your site.
Google Search Console shows you a ton now.
It's adding one more thing people have been waiting forever for: generative AI performance. Google has been going so hard with AI features in search that it's about time we see how our website performs.
You can use this new report to see how your organic impressions from search generative AI features change over time. See what pages are getting the highest or lowest impressions in generative AI features. Understand where your generative AI impressions are originating, for example by device or country.
This is going to be a slow rollout over time. If a site hasn't received enough impressions in generative AI, they won't get this new report. Google wrote about it right here.
Hopefully this is the beginning to getting deep insights into performance with AI overviews, with AI Mode, and so much more.
