While it doesn&#8217;t show click data, it does give us more visibility than we had before. <\/p>\n<p>Like Bing, Google currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seroundtable.com\/google-search-console-counting-ai-mode-39599.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lumps its AI search features with web search<\/a> in the Search Console reporting. Everyone I know wants this data broken out but we also doubt Google or Bing will show us the click-through rate of AI search features compared to normal search results.  Bing&#8217;s AI performance report dodges that, of course.  So does lumping the data together.<\/p>\n<p>Will we see Search Console come out with AI reports? Possibly.
