Google adds AI search visibility reports as AI tools reshape workplace productivity

Google has begun rolling out new AI performance reports in Search Console. The reports show URL impressions in generative AI search features, list pages appearing in AI answers, and break down visibility by country, device and date. The aim is to help site owners understand how their content is seen in AI-generated results, supplementing traditional SEO metrics such as positions, clicks, CTR and organic traffic.

A separate ADP Research "People at Work 2026" study finds that about one‑third of global workers use generative AI weekly and one‑fifth daily. Regular AI users report feeling less personally efficient but also experience lower work‑related stress. The technology shifts routine tasks to algorithms, making traditional performance metrics less relevant and prompting calls for new evaluation systems. Adoption rates vary, with India, Nigeria and Vietnam leading, while Poland records 12% daily usage.
