Quick answer: Google has widened access to its generative AI performance reporting inside Search Console, giving more site owners visibility into how their pages appear in AI Overviews and AI Mode, alongside expanded controls to opt individual pages out of generative AI features.
What’s new
Search Console’s AI-focused reporting, first introduced in a limited rollout, is now available more broadly. This follows directly on from what we covered in our deep dive on the Search Console AI Performance report — the expansion means more site owners can now see impression and click data specifically tied to AI-powered search surfaces rather than having it folded into standard organic metrics.
Alongside the reporting expansion, Google has also broadened the generative AI opt-out controls first surfaced through robots meta tags and Search Console settings, giving publishers more granular choice over which content feeds AI Overviews and AI Mode.
Why it matters
Until now, many site owners had no visibility into how much of their traffic touched AI surfaces versus traditional blue links. With this data now more widely available, it becomes possible to segment performance by surface and start making decisions — like adjusting content structure for AI citation — based on real numbers instead of guesswork.
