2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+97%), and September 2026 was a better month than August 2026 (+8%). Pippit, which takes 59.5% of all the visits, gained more visits on its own than the whole market gained in a year. Without it, visits would be down 15.2% on a year ago instead of up 96.7%. Pippit gained more visits in September 2026 (208,822) than the whole market did (162,164); without it, visits to the other sites fell 5.1% on August 2026.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 97% above a year ago, and 5% below the February 2026 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.
3How many people went looking
People typed a site’s name into Google 9% more often than in October 2025 (+9%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

US searches a month for the counted brand names, summed. Google Ads data via DataForSEO, to September 2026.
Miles explains
Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 9%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.
4Where the visitors live
About 10 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 21 countries one by one; the largest is Indonesia.
