After a phased rollout that began in June 2026, Google's generative AI performance report is now available to sites worldwide — reporting your impressions in AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Discover's AI features. Clicks are still not included.

Google has completed the worldwide rollout of its Search Console generative AI performance report, giving site owners a dedicated view of how their pages appear inside AI-powered search features. The report first launched in June 2026 to a limited subset of properties and expanded in phases over the summer; by late August 2026 it was reported as available to sites worldwide, though Google's own help pages note some properties may still be catching up and sites with too few AI impressions may not see data at all.
The report breaks out impressions from three generative surfaces: AI Overviews and AI Mode in Google Search, plus generative AI features in Discover. Data is sliced by page, country, and date, and the Search view adds a device breakdown. Until now, appearances inside AI answers were folded into the standard performance report with no way to isolate them — so a creator or SEO had no first-party read on whether their content was being surfaced inside an AI Overview or AI Mode response.
The headline limitation is that the report shows impressions only — it does not include click data. You can see that your page was surfaced inside an AI answer, but not how many people clicked through from it. Position and the specific user prompts also remain undisclosed. Google shipped a related property-level opt-out control alongside the reports, letting owners exclude their content from these AI features without a ranking penalty in standard Search; more granular page-level controls are expected later, on a timeline tied to UK regulatory commitments running into 2027.
The practical upshot: creators now get a scoreboard for AI visibility they never had, but it measures exposure, not traffic. Being the source an AI answer draws from is the thing you can now see — and increasingly the thing that matters.
Read this report the right way and it stops being a vanity dashboard and becomes a content brief. The generative AI report tells you which of your pages and topics are already being surfaced inside AI Overviews and AI Mode — that is a ranked list of what the models find worth quoting about you. The catch is that impressions without clicks reward presence, not a single link: you win by being the source the answer is built from, and by showing up wherever your audience asks. Turning that signal into more of what's working is exactly what [Kompozy](/) is built to do.
Take a topic the report shows is earning AI impressions and drop it into Kompozy. It generates 25–35 on-brand pieces around that theme — a substantive [Blog Article](/glossary/output-buckets) and long-form text that give an AI-search engine something real to index and quote, plus [Persona Shorts](/glossary/persona-shorts) and HeyGen avatar video, brand-exact [Carousel](/glossary/hyperframes) posts, Quote Graphics, and an Email Newsletter that keep the same idea alive in the feeds and the inbox. Everything is written in your voice under the [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief), so a batch built to chase one winning topic still reads as one brand. Then [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot) schedules and publishes it across the eight social platforms plus blog and email behind a per-post review. The loop is tight: watch the AI report for the topics that get surfaced, use Kompozy to publish deeper and wider on them, and check the next report to see the impressions climb.
It is a dedicated report in Search Console, called the generative AI performance report, that shows how often your pages appear inside Google's AI-powered search features — AI Overviews and AI Mode in Search, plus generative AI features in Discover. It first launched in June 2026 and finished rolling out to sites worldwide in late August 2026.
Impressions only. As of the worldwide rollout it does not include click data, position, or the specific user prompts. You can see that your page was surfaced inside an AI answer, but not how many people clicked through or where you ranked within the answer.
Yes. Google shipped a property-level control that lets you exclude your content from AI Overviews and AI Mode without a ranking penalty in standard Search. More granular page-level controls are expected later, on a timeline tied to regulatory commitments. Most creators will want to stay in, since AI answers are a growing discovery surface.
Treat it as a content signal. The per-page breakdown shows which topics already earn AI impressions, so you double down on those. A tool like Kompozy takes a winning topic and generates a blog, video, carousels, and a newsletter around it in your brand voice, then publishes across the eight social platforms plus blog and email — deeper coverage of exactly what the report shows the models are surfacing.
