01What Is the Google AI Search Analytics Update?

The Google AI search analytics update is a new free report inside Google Search Console. It shows you how often your pages appear inside Google's AI answers for the first time ever.

Before this update, Google hid that data for two years. You had no way to know if your website showed up in AI Overviews or AI Mode. Now you get a clean, separate view just for AI data.

This report is a huge deal for SEO because you can finally see what the AI likes.

02What the New Report Shows You

This new report sits right inside Google Search Console, the free tool every website owner has. It separates your AI data from normal search data. The report covers three areas: AI Overviews, AI Mode, and AI features inside Google Discover.

You get five types of data:

  • Impressions: how many times your page appeared in an AI answer.
  • Pages: which specific pages get picked.
  • Countries: where people see you.
  • Devices: phones or computers.
  • Dates: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

For example, a page about “what is an AI automation community” might show 200 impressions last week. That tells you the page matches what Google's AI likes.

03How to Set Up the New Search Console Report

Setting up the report is simple because it's automatic. You don't need to install anything. The report appears in your Search Console account when Google rolls it out to you.

  1. Go to Google Search Console (search.google.com/search-console).
  2. Make sure you have a verified property for your website.
  3. Look for the “Search Generative AI Performance Report” in the left sidebar.
  4. If you don't see it yet, wait—it's rolling out slowly.

The rollout started with a small group of website owners in the UK first, due to local rules. Google says it will reach everyone over time. The block toggle kicks in on June 17th.

04How to Use the Report to Win with AI Answers

Once you have the report, you can see which pages are winning. For example, the AI Profit Boardroom page got picked up 200 times in a week inside AI answers. That page is the exact shape Google's AI likes, so you should make 10 more just like it.

You can also check countries and devices to see who's seeing you. Then write for those audiences. But doing this by hand for every page is too much work.

That's why Julian Goldie built Agent OS.

Agent OS does the hard work for you. You type one thing, like “explain what an AI automation community is in simple words.” It gives you a tight paragraph that opens with the answer.

Here's the process:

  • Step 1: Write a short, direct answer—no fluff.
  • Step 2: Shape it to about 150 words.
  • Step 3: Write answers to all the little fan-out questions.
  • Step 4: Add schema code to tag questions and answers.
  • Step 5: Add a short video because YouTube is a top source.

Agent OS automates all of this.

05Results and Comparisons from the Episode

In this episode, Julian showed a real example from his own community. A page about AI automation communities got 200 impressions in one week inside AI answers.

That number tells you the page is winning. The report also shows impressions, not clicks. That's an important point to remember.

Google's AI Overviews now reach over 2.5 billion people every month. AI Mode has passed 1 billion monthly users. Those numbers are massive compared to regular search.

So hiding from AI answers is a bad idea for most businesses.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

There's one wild setting you need to know about. Next to the new report, Google is testing a toggle. This switch lets you block your own content from showing in AI Overviews and AI Mode.

It's an opt-out.

Google says turning it off will not hurt your normal ranking. You'll still show up in regular search. But it pulls you out of AI answers entirely.

Should you flip it? For almost everybody, no.

Why? Because AI Overviews reaches 2.5 billion people monthly. AI Mode reaches over 1 billion.

That's the biggest audience on the planet.

Another limit: the report rolls out slowly. If you don't see it yet, don't panic. You're just not in the first group.

While you wait, prepare your pages. Also, avoid giant walls of text—Google's AI gets confused by them. Keep answers short and tight.

07Who This Update Is For and Why It Matters

This update is for any website owner, SEO professional, or business owner who wants more traffic from Google. It matters because AI answers are becoming a huge part of search.
