# Google AI Search
> See which of your Google queries are losing clicks to AI Overviews — and import Google's official AI-surface impression data.
## Overview
**Google AI** is a tab in the Search section (Visibility → Search) focused on how Google's AI features — **AI Overviews** and **AI Mode** — affect your search traffic. As Google answers more queries directly with AI, clicks to the open web fall even when your ranking doesn't change. This tab helps you spot that erosion and act on it.
It lives at `app.trysight.ai/visibility/ai-search` and requires a connected [Google Search Console](/integrations/google-search-console) property on a licensed site.
The tab has two sub-views:
* **AI Overview risk** — queries where Google is *likely* answering with an AI Overview and siphoning your clicks (inferred from your Search Console data).
* **Imported AI impressions** — Google's *official* AI-surface impression numbers, brought in from a CSV export.
Google doesn't expose AI Overview / AI Mode data through the Search Console API yet — the official report is impressions-only and UI-only. So Sight AI **infers** click loss from the GSC data you already sync, and lets you **import** the official numbers manually when you want them.
## AI Overview risk
This is the default view. It surfaces queries where you rank well and get impressions, but your click-through rate has collapsed in a way that's characteristic of an AI Overview eating the click.
### What you see
A summary strip shows the count of **at-risk queries** and the **estimated clicks at risk** this period. The table lists each at-risk query with:
| Column | Meaning |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Query** + reason badge | The search term and *why* it's flagged (see below) |
| **Impressions** | Impressions in the selected window |
| **Position** | Average Google position (it must actually rank to be flagged) |
| **CTR now** | Current click-through rate |
| **Benchmark** | The CTR we'd expect for this query (its own past CTR, or the expected CTR for its ranking) |
| **Est. lost clicks** | `impressions × (benchmark CTR − current CTR)` — your estimated click loss |
| **Actions** | **Create article** or **Track as prompt** |
Rows are sorted by estimated lost clicks (biggest losses first), 25 per page.
### Why a query is flagged
| Badge | What it means |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **CTR dropped vs prior period** | The query's CTR fell sharply (≥35%) versus the previous period while its ranking stayed roughly the same — a classic sign an AI Overview started intercepting clicks. |
| **Low CTR for its ranking** | The query ranks near the top (position ≤ 8) but earns far less than the typical CTR for that position — clicks are going somewhere other than your result. |
To keep signals meaningful, the view only considers queries with enough impressions and an average position of 20 or better. It needs at least **14 days** of Search Console history before it can flag anything.
### Acting on at-risk queries
Each row gives you two one-click moves:
* **Create article** — open the agent pre-filled to write (or strengthen) content for that query. Stronger, more comprehensive content is the best defense against losing the click outright.
* **Track as prompt** — add the query to [AI Visibility](/ai-visibility/what-is-ai-visibility) as a tracked prompt, so you can monitor whether AI assistants mention you for it. (Respects your site's 500-prompt limit and runs an instant check.)
AI Overview risk rows are computed live from your GSC data — they're **not** added to your [Search Opportunities](/ai-visibility/search-opportunities) queue. Act on them right from this tab.
## Imported AI impressions
Google's Search Console UI has a **Generative AI** performance view that shows impressions on AI surfaces — but there's no API for it. The **Imported AI impressions** sub-view lets you bring those official numbers into Sight AI via CSV so you can see them alongside your articles.
### How to import
In Search Console, open **Performance → Generative AI**, pick your date range, switch to the **Pages** tab, and export the CSV.
In Sight AI, go to **Visibility → Search → Google AI → Imported AI impressions** and click **Import data**.
Choose the **AI surface** you exported (AI Overviews, AI Mode, AI Overviews + AI Mode, or Discover), set the same date range, and upload the CSV (`.csv`, up to 5 MB / 5,000 rows).
Once imported, the table lists each page with its AI impressions, linking to the matching Sight AI article where one exists. Sight AI keeps your **6 most recent imports per AI surface**, selectable from a dropdown, so you can compare periods.
## Tracked prompt suggestions (in the background)
Separately from this tab, once your GSC history matures Sight AI periodically scans your top queries and suggests **tracked prompts** worth monitoring in AI Visibility. These appear as suggestions on **Visibility → Prompts** for you to accept — no action needed here.
