"Kinda like the rest of search, many things aren't permanent decisions that are never discussed. Things change - SEOs write about what changed - while I have nothing to announce, I can say for sure that very few things online are permanent. It's also good to have input from others, like you all.- John Mueller ( @johnmu.com) January 30, 2026 at 7:00 AM"
"Recently, we caught Bing testing an AI Performance report in Bing Webmaster Tools. While it doesn't show click data, it does give us more visibility than we had before. Like Bing, Google currently lumps its AI search features with web search 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."
Few things online are permanent and decisions can change over time. Search Console currently aggregates AI search features with regular web search in its reporting rather than separating AI visibility metrics. Bing tested an AI Performance report in Bing Webmaster Tools that provides additional visibility but does not expose click data. Site owners and SEOs want AI-specific reporting broken out to assess performance of AI features separately from traditional results. Both Google and Bing are unlikely to publish click-through rates specifically tied to AI-powered search features, based on current tests and statements. Community feedback appears on platforms such as Bluesky.
