Web & AI Solutions Google Search Console Now Shows Where AI Answers Cite Your Business - Check Your Report This Week

**What Changed**

Google finished rolling out the generative AI performance report in Search Console to every website worldwide, so you can now see how often your pages appear inside AI Overviews, AI Mode, and AI-powered Discover. Before this report, business owners had no first-party data on AI visibility at all. The report sits inside the existing Performance section, separate from your standard Search results data.

**How To Pull Your Numbers Today**

Log in to Search Console and open Performance, then look for the generative AI view. Set the date range to the last three months and review these breakdowns:

- Impressions over time, so you can spot growth or a sudden drop
- Top pages by AI impressions, which shows what content AI engines trust
- Countries and devices, useful if you serve Metro Detroit or ship nationwide

If the report does not appear, your site likely has not collected enough AI impressions yet.

**What The Report Will Not Tell You**

Google reports impressions only. You will not see clicks, click-through rate, or the exact prompts customers typed. Treat the numbers as a citation scoreboard, not a traffic report, and pair them with branded search volume and phone call tracking to judge real business impact.

**Watch The Opt-Out Toggle**

Google also released a control that blocks your content from appearing in AI features. Most small businesses should leave the toggle alone, because turning it off removes your pages from AI answers where customers now start their research. Confirm no one on your team flipped the setting by accident.

**Your Next Step**

Open Search Console today, export your top 10 pages by AI impressions, and add one clear question-and-answer section to each page so AI engines can quote you directly.
