Why it matters

Google recommends the Generative AI performance report in Search Console for measuring how content performs in generative AI features on Search and Discover. It shows impressions, pages, countries, devices and dates, but no clicks or queries. The regular Performance report still counts traffic from AI Overviews and AI Mode within the Web search type, so analytics setups that split out LLM referrals do not isolate it. Since 24 September 2026 the Performance report also has a multimodal search type for searches with Google Lens, Circle to Search, uploaded images and Chrome's image search; it has no query dimension.

How to meet it

Add the report to the regular dashboard and compare countries and languages with native-language spot checks in AI Overviews and AI Mode. Add the multimodal search type to the same review and judge it by page, country and device.

How to test it

The report is reviewed monthly alongside the Performance report.

How Regensbot covers it

GuidedNeedsYour verified site

Regensbot walks you through the check in Search Console, collects the screenshot or export and tracks when the attestation expires. Attested is never shown as pass.

This setting or report lives in a Search Console screen that no API exposes, so a person checks it.

You verify the site by a DNS TXT record, a meta tag or a file. Regensbot then keeps a checklist item for this requirement, with a state, a guide, an evidence upload and reminders.

Audit

Check it on your site.

One audit checks a URL against all 138 requirements and returns one finding for each, with its source. One URL decides 66; for each of the others, the finding says which source to connect.
