📰AI News Google launches new AI controls and insights in Search Console!

[Dopious]

Google has just announced several major updates to help website owners navigate the evolving AI search landscape:

• New Opt-Out Toggle: A new control in Search Console allows website owners to decide if their content should appear in and ground responses for generative AI features (like AI Overviews and AI Mode). Opting out stops traffic from these AI features but does not impact your standard search rankings.

• New Performance Insights: Search Console is rolling out impression metrics and data showing exactly which of your pages appear in AI responses and in which countries.
• AI Search Adoption Numbers: Google shared that AI Overviews has surpassed 2.5 billion monthly active users, while AI Mode has topped 1 billion monthly users.

These features are currently being tested with a subset of webmasters in the UK before a global rollout.

What do you think about these new features? Will you consider opting out to protect your content, or do you welcome the traffic from AI features?

The Vertex AI in Cloud console is overkill too... Try Gemini native in Gsheets and imagine what data can be pushed there from where...
