The feature is already available in Germany. This update follows recent additions like the multimodal search filter (for Google Lens and visual searches) and platform properties for social media performance. The new filters provide deeper insights into international and device-specific search performance, supporting more granular SEO analysis.

Google Adds AI-Powered Search Console Configuration
Google is testing a new AI-powered feature inside Search Console that lets SEOs configure and retrieve performance reports through natural-language prompts. In the experimental setup, users can open an AI-powered configuration panel on the right edge of the interface, next to the existing filters, and ask for data tailored to specific queries or time periods. For example, a prompt like “Show the CTR of queries containing ‘how to’ or ‘what is’ in Canada last week” prompts the tool to generate the corresponding Performance reports with automatically applied filters and settings. This capability follows Google's Custom Annotations and aims to streamline data discovery for SEO work by reducing manual search and drill-down. The feature was announced by Google's Search Central Account on LinkedIn and may not be immediately available to all users. The article from OnlineMarketing.de presents the capability as a productivity boost for SEO teams. If widely rolled out, it could impact how SEOs interact with performance data.
Google Adds Brand-Query Filter in Search Console
Google Search Console gains a new filter to distinguish brand-related versus non-brand queries within the Performance report. Brand-related queries are identified by including the brand name (in various languages), a recognizable misspelling, or a brand’s product or service. The association is determined by Google's AI, with potential misclassifications in edge cases. The filter applies to all search types (Web, Images, Videos, News) and adjusts impressions, clicks, average position, and CTR by group. The Statistics report will also break out total clicks by brand-related and non-brand traffic to help analyze brand recognition. Availability is limited to top-level properties (not URL-path or subdomain properties) and requires sufficient search-volume signals; rollout will occur gradually over the coming weeks.
