Tracking standard blue links isn’t enough anymore. To win in generative search, we need to measure GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) using Google Search Console's AI-related Search Appearance reports.
I put together a complete guide on how to track, analyze, and measure AI search performance:
• AI Appearance Reports: Isolate AI Overview impressions, clicks, and CTR in Search Console.
• Generative Query Taxonomies: Cluster intent patterns (how-to, comparisons, definitions) to see what triggers AI citations.
• The GEO Scorecard: Connect AI visibility to actual revenue and calculate GEO ROI using direct and assisted conversions.
• Traffic Drop Diagnostics: Isolate whether you lost impressions or CTR, and troubleshoot cannibalization vs. net exposure.
