Google Search Console Did Not Add An AI Overviews Filter
"No, Google Search Console did not add an AI Overviews filter to the Search Performance report. There was a ton of buzz this morning that Google added the ability to filter out AI Overview data in Search Console, but it was a fake and not a real screenshot. As you know, Google lumps AI Mode and AI Overview data with web data in Search Console and has no plans to be transparent about how well or poorly AI search features perform for site owners."
"So it came as a shock and surprise when this was reportedly announced by a "Platinum Product Expert" in one of the Google forums. It was a fake, John Mueller of Google said. John wrote on LinkedIn, "there's no filter like this in Search Console, and the screenshot itself is fake." Gagan Ghorta took a screenshot of the post and posted it on X:"
False reports claimed that Google Search Console added an AI Overviews filter to the Search Performance report. Google confirmed no such filter exists and labeled the screenshot used to promote the claim as fake. Google aggregates AI Mode and AI Overview data within the general Web data bucket in Search Console and does not provide separate transparency about AI search feature performance for site owners. A forum post by a purported product expert promoted the false claim, was later removed, and the poster apologized. Community members captured and shared the misleading post across social platforms.
