Search Console adds a report on Google's AI answers

Search Console, Google's free tool for tracking your site, now counts how often your links appear in its AI answers. Open to all sites since August 31.

Your links seen in AI answers, grouped

by page, by country, by device, by date

What happened, in detail

Before: No report on your place in AI answers

Now: A report in Search Console

Google announced this report on June 3, first for some sites, then opened it to all of them on August 31. It shows how many times people saw links to your site in AI Overviews and AI Mode. You can group the numbers by page, country, device and date.

The newest numbers can still change for a few hours. If your site rarely appears in these answers, the report may not show up.

Where it comes from

What it changes for you

Open this report to see whether your site already appears in these answers. It counts views, not clicks.

What to do, and when

  1. This week

    Open Search Console and look for the generative AI report. If it doesn't show up, your site may still appear too rarely in these answers.

  2. This month

    Group the numbers by page to see which ones stand out, then by country and device if that matters to you.

  3. Before your next campaign

    Read this report for what it is: it counts views, not clicks. Compare it with your visits before you decide anything.
