Google Search Console expanded its coverage in 2026 to track how pages perform when they surface alongside YouTube and social media results inside Google Search - not just classic blue-link organic results.
Why this changed the reporting picture
Previously, a page could be driving real visibility through video or social integration in the SERP without that showing up anywhere in Search Console's standard performance report. That blind spot is now closed.
What to check
Filter the Performance report by the new search appearance types. Compare position and CTR for pages with video/social integration against pages without - the difference is often larger than expected.
