Search Console’s generative AI performance report shows how often your pages appeared in AI Overviews and AI Mode, by page, country, device and date. It counts impressions only, combines both features and shows no queries or clicks, so you still need filtered Performance views and manual checks to see which searches show an AI Overview and whether you’re cited.
When a client asks whether they show up in AI Overviews, Search Console gives you a page-level answer and a trend line. It does not identify the searches behind that visibility. You still need a process to track brand mentions in AI Overviews for the queries that matter to your business.
What the generative AI performance report shows
The generative AI performance report shows impressions, pages, countries, devices and dates for your site’s appearances in Google’s generative search features. You can view hourly, daily, weekly or monthly data, and the Search report includes device data for desktop, tablet and mobile.
You’ll find it under Performance > Search results > Generative AI. Discover has its own Generative AI report under Discover. Google introduced these reports on 3 June 2026 and rolled them out to all websites worldwide on 31 August 2026.
If you cannot see the Search report, Google says your site usually has not received enough impressions in generative AI features yet.
Start with the Pages tab. It tells you which URLs appeared, so you know which pages to work on first. A page with rising generative AI impressions deserves a closer look, especially when it targets a commercial question your customers ask.
What the report cannot tell you
The report cannot tell you which feature showed your page, which search triggered it or whether anyone clicked. It answers a narrower question: are your pages appearing in Google’s AI features, and is that rising?
In the chart total, two of your pages in the same generative feature count as one impression. The Pages table counts each page separately, so its rows can add up to more than the chart. The report table also stops at 1,000 rows, like the normal Performance report.
