The reporting includes impressions, pages, countries, devices and dates but does not include click data.  Yea, Google won\u2019t be telling us how many searchers click from AI responses in Google Search to our sites \u2013 there is no surprise there.<\/p>\n<p>Google <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/products\/search\/new-controls-website-owners\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We\u2019re also starting to roll out new insights for website owners in Search Console about the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance of their pages in generative AI Search features. These insights include impressions metrics and information about which pages appear in AI responses and in what countries. We\u2019re continuing to work with website owners to understand what insights will be most helpful to inform their strategies, and we\u2019ll introduce additional metrics over time.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Google <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/blog\/2026\/06\/gen-ai-performance-reports\">shared<\/a> more details on the metrics you will get from this new report, they include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Impressions<\/strong>: How often URLs from your site appeared in generative AI features in Search and Discover.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pages<\/strong>: Check which URLs appeared within AI features.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Countries<\/strong>: Understand your visibility on a country basis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Devices<\/strong>: Identify the devices people are using when seeing your website (available for Search results).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dates<\/strong>: Monitor your performance over time with hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly granularity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I asked about click data and a Google spokesperson told me, \u201cWe\u2019re continuing to work with website owners to understand what insights will be most helpful to inform their strategies, and we\u2019ll introduce additional metrics over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This new report is rolling out to a subset of website owners in the UK at first and will expand globally at some point in the future. <\/p>\n<p>For more details on this report, see this Google <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/16984139\">help center document<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI blocking controls. <\/strong>Google also said it is adding a \u201cnew toggle\u201d within Google Search Console to allow sites to block their content from showing in AI search features such as AI Overviews, AI Mode or AI Overviews in Discover.  Google wrote, \u201cwebsite owners can decide if they want their site to appear in and help ground responses in our generative AI Search features.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Google noted that \u201csites that opt out will not receive traffic or impressions from our generative AI features.\u201d However, this control will not be used as a ranking signal for search results outside of these generative AI Search features, so it should not negatively impact your site on core web search.<\/p>\n<p>Google added that this control is just for a subset of website owners in the UK. Google will expand access to more site owners in the future, after sufficient testing is completed.  Google did promise these controls were coming after some backlash from the EU, so now they are starting to roll out.<\/p>\n<p>Early studies showed that 1\/3rd of SEOs would block Google from showing their content in AI search features.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we care. <\/strong>Site owners and publishers have been asking for controls over if and how their content is shown in Google\u2019s AI features since Google launched these a couple of years ago.  Well, now Google is rolling out such a feature to some users today.  It is unclear how soon everyone will gain access to these controls, but they should come to all eventually.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, we have been asking Google for AI Search reporting since day one as well. This is Google\u2019s first step towards that, shortly after Bing Webmaster Tools released its AI performance report.  Neither Google or Bing\u2019s reports have click data, and we don\u2019t expect them ever to, but for now, at least Bing\u2019s report is global while Google\u2019s report is a subset of UK site owners.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-display\">\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-content\">\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Topics_on_this_page\"><\/span>Topics on this page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-links\">Google Search ConsoleAI OverviewsArtificial intelligenceGoogleGoogle AI ModeBing Webmaster ToolsEuropean UnionGenerative AIGoogle SearchInformation privacyMicrosoft BingSearch engine optimizationUnited KingdomURLWeb analytics<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ttd-topics-show-extra-button\">+10 more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
