I know many of you are looking at your Google Search Console reports lately and seeing some really puzzling numbers, especially for calls and clicks. You're not alone! There's a new player in town: Google's AI Mode (also called AI Overviews). This is Google's super-smart AI giving people quick answers right on the search page. And get this – AI Overviews now show up for a massive 86.8% of all Google searches! (Source: SEO.AI, 2024). Here's the catch that's making your reports a "hot mess": When your business shows up in AI Mode, those familiar call, directions, or website buttons from your Google Business Profile often aren't there. Since over 50% of users are now using AI Mode, (Source: Client data from Google Search Console), it means those crucial clicks aren't being tracked the same way in your regular reports! Don't panic – it's not you, it's how Google is reporting metrics! So, what to do? Stay Calm! Google will likely sort out the reporting.
