AnalyticsSearch Console AI report
Generative AI performance report
Search Console views introduced in 2026 showing impressions and clicks for a site's links inside Google's generative AI features on Search and Discover.
In full
An impression is counted when a link to the site is scrolled or expanded into view within a generative feature, aggregated per property so multiple links in one answer count once. Clicks on links to external pages in AI Overviews or AI Mode count as clicks, and an AI Overview occupies a single position shared by all its links. The data is also included in the overall Performance report under the Web search type, so it is additive detail rather than a separate channel.
Example
A publisher finds a fifth of its impressions on a topic come from generative features, with a materially lower CTR than classic results.
