2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+55%), and September 2026 was a better month than August 2026 (+5%). Pippit, which takes 56.8% of all the visits, gained more visits on its own than the whole market gained in a year. Without it, visits would be down 29.7% on a year ago instead of up 55.4%. Pippit gained more visits in September 2026 (208,822) than the whole market did (105,308); without it, visits to the other sites fell 9.6% on August 2026.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 55% above a year ago, and 14% 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 6% more often than in October 2025 (+6%). 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 6%, 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.

6Who grew and who shrank

The fastest grower in a year was Pippit (+1816%); the steepest fall was at Predis.ai (-81%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
