This is now live for everyone experience it today!
Over two months ago, Google began testing its AI-powered configuration tool. It allows you to ask AI questions about the Google Search Console performance reports. The AI then provides answers for you. Well, Google is now rolling out this tool for all.
Google said on LinkedIn, “The Search Console’s new AI-powered configuration is now available to everyone!”
AI-powered configuration. AI-powered configuration “lets you describe the analysis you want to see in natural language. Your inputs are then transformed into the appropriate filters and settings, instantly configuring the report for you,” Google said.
Rolling out now. If you login to your Search Console account, click on the performance report. You may see a note at the top that says “New! Customize your Performance report using Al.”
When you click on it, you get into the AI tool:
More details. As we reported earlier, Google said, “The AI-powered configuration feature is designed to streamline your analysis. It does this by handling three key elements for you.”
- Selecting metrics: Decide which of the four available metrics to display. The metrics are Clicks, Impressions, Average CTR, and Average Position. Base your choice on your question.
- Applying filters: Narrow down data by query, page, country, device, search appearance, or date range.
- Configuring comparisons: Set up complex comparisons (like custom date ranges) without manual setup.
Why you should care. This is only supported in the Performance report for Search results. It isn’t available for Discover or News reports, yet. Plus, it is AI, so the answers may not be perfect. But it can be fun to play with. It can also get you thinking about things you may not have thought about yet.
