Google AI Mode Reporting Coming To Search Console

Google has officially confirmed that AI Mode reporting will be introduced in Google Search Console as part of the broader AI Mode rollout. Although it hasn’t gone live yet, the update is in progress and documentation changes are already underway to reflect this upcoming feature.

What Google Has Said

John Mueller from Google recently addressed the topic in a LinkedIn comment, clarifying:

"AI Mode reporting is not yet live in Search Console. We're updating our documentation to reflect this will be showing soon as part of the AI Mode rollout."

This statement helps clear some of the confusion that has circulated since AI Mode began appearing in U.S. search results. Initially, the Search Console help documents only mentioned AI Overviews, leaving marketers and SEO professionals wondering whether AI Mode would be tracked or reported at all.

Clarifying the Confusion

The misunderstanding arose when new help documentation subtly hinted at future AI Mode visibility in Search Console, yet there was no clear way to track metrics like impressions, clicks, or CTR specific to AI Mode. This ambiguity raised concerns over how performance data would be segmented, if at all.

As of now, it’s still unclear how AI Mode metrics will be displayed within the performance report. Many speculate it could follow the pattern of AI Overviews, which do not offer standalone filtering options. That is, users may not be able to isolate impressions or interactions from AI Mode directly.

Where Should It Appear?

Given that AI Mode does not appear within the main search results tab, but rather in its own dedicated space, it logically shouldn't be mixed with standard search data. Ideally, AI Mode should be presented in its own section under "Search Type", alongside existing options like Web, Image, Video, and News.

It’s unlikely that AI Mode will be classified under the "Search Appearance" filter—where AI Overviews might more appropriately belong—since AI Mode is fundamentally different in how it delivers search results.

What’s Next?

While we now know that Google plans to show AI Mode data in Search Console, the depth and granularity of that data remains a question. Will we be able to analyze queries, pages, impressions, clicks, and CTR specifically tied to AI Mode? It’s too early to tell.

For now, we can only anticipate more documentation updates and eventually a new reporting segment that may reshape how SEOs interpret AI-driven traffic.
