Where Google counts traffic from AI Overviews and AI Mode
Since June 2026, Search Console has Generative AI performance reports: how often your pages appear in AI Overviews and AI Mode (and in Discover's AI features). The same impressions also stay in the overall Performance report.
Key facts
| Report | Search Console → Generative AI performance (Search, Discover) |
|---|---|
| Shows | impressions by page, country and device |
| Also counted in | the overall Performance report |
What to do
Note which pages appear in AI features, then compare the same pages over the same weeks before and after a change, with control pages you did not touch.
