Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Google has launched dedicated Search Generative AI performance reports in Google Search Console, providing website owners with a standalone view of how their sites appear within AI-powered search features like AI Overviews and AI Mode, as well as within Discover. This new capability, announced on June 3, 2026, addresses a long-standing industry need since AI Overviews began displacing traditional search results at scale in 2024. The reports cover two distinct surfaces: generative AI features within Search (AI Overviews and AI Mode) and generative AI features within Discover.
