Google made a move last week that every blogger and SEO professional needs to know about. On June 3, 2026, Google launched dedicated AI performance reports inside Search Console. For the first time ever, you can see exactly how often your pages appear inside AI Overviews and AI Mode — separately from your regular organic rankings.
The new Search Console reports give you dedicated views of your impressions within generative AI features on Search, such as AI Overviews and AI Mode, as well as generative AI features in Discover.
This is a big deal. For two years, SEOs have been asking Google whether their content was even showing up in AI answers. There was no way to know. Now there is.
The reporting includes impressions, pages, countries, devices, and dates but does not include click data. So you can see that your page appeared in an AI Overview 10,000 times last month, but you cannot see how many of those appearances turned into clicks. Google is not giving us that data yet.
Google is also testing a toggle that lets you control whether your site appears in generative AI Search features. The toggle lets sites block their content from appearing in AI Overviews, AI Mode, and AI Overviews in Discover. Both features are rolling out to a subset of websites in the UK first and Google says it will expand globally after testing.
Subreddit r/SEO di Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/ is already running a live thread on this. The most discussed question is whether blocking AI Overviews makes sense for publishers who make money from ad revenue, since AI answers reduce the need for users to click through to your site at all.
Should You Block AI Overviews?
Opting out carries no organic ranking penalty. Google confirmed the opt-out setting will not be used as a ranking signal for regular Search. Sites that opt out keep appearing normally in Search results and the Discover feed — only AI Overviews, AI Mode, and AI Overviews in Discover are affected.
The new GSC toggle is the first control that blocks AI features with no organic snippet tradeoff. Previously, using nosnippet would block AI features but also strip your organic snippet. The new toggle solves that problem cleanly.
For most bloggers the answer is probably no — staying in AI Overviews keeps your brand visible even when the user does not click. But for sites that live on pageview-based ad revenue, blocking makes more sense because AI Overviews are directly reducing clicks.
X pada https://x.com/search?q=Google+Search+Console+AI+report+2026 has site owners posting their first impressions data from the new report. The numbers are surprising many people — some sites are appearing in AI Overviews far more than they expected, which means they have been getting brand exposure without knowing it.
Quora di https://www.quora.com/Should-I-block-my-site-from-Google-AI-Overviews has early answers from SEOs weighing up the opt-out decision across different site monetization models.
