Google Discover in Google Search Console

Google Discover is a personalized content feed that appears on mobile devices in the Google app and on google.com. If your site receives Discover traffic, Search Console will show a dedicated report for it.

The GSC Wizard dashboard for example.com with the search type set to Discover over 3 months (Jul 11 to Oct 11, 2026): 26,743 clicks and 1,311,183 impressions, with low, uneven daily traffic and one large spike in late August when a single article was picked up by the feed
Discover traffic is spiky by nature: one article picked up by the feed outweighs a normal month. Search Console only shows the Discover report once you get meaningful Discover impressions (GSC Wizard, example data).

Finding the Discover Report

In the left sidebar of Search Console, look for "Discover" under the Performance section. If you do not see it, your site has not yet received significant Discover traffic.
