The new Search Console feature introduced in this article is being rolled out gradually and may not be available to all accounts. Also, the reported impression numbers are leading indicators and do not directly indicate business outcomes. When evaluating AI visibility in practice, it is highly recommended to check visibility across AI engines other than Google (such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity) and make comprehensive judgments in light of your company's KPIs and the latest platform specifications.

Summary

Summary

Personally, I feel this integration will simplify the work of SEO professionals. It reduces the hassle of switching between separate dashboards, and there is reassurance that the essential work remains the same even in the AI era. However, to avoid Google dominance, I want to maintain the habit of regularly checking trends in other AI engines.
