Miles explains

5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was April 2026 (-32%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.

Visits are down on a year ago (-60%), and the last three months were lower than the three before. Name searches are down (-38% since October 2025). Recent months are getting weaker, and the forecast follows them.

-12.8% a month; the forecast carries part of the slope, fading

Miles explains

Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: -32%.

No seasonal pattern is used in this forecast: the five-year Google Trends series for "ai agents for ecommerce" has too many empty months (44 of 60, the last in May 2025) to read a seasonal pattern from.

On the calendar, October brings the start of the fourth quarter and next year's budget planning. Once the Google Trends series for the term can be read month by month, this section scores each month against an average month and tests whether that helps the forecast.

About 165K visits in October 2026, down 6% on September 2026. The likely range is 141K to 190K.

By April 2027 the forecast expects about 150,440 visits a month, -14% on the 175,286 of September 2026, so the next six months look like a slide.

The forecast expects Rezolve Ai (+3%) to rise, and Chatfuel (-10%), Nosto (-12%), Syte (-4%) and Constructor (-6%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of September 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

Zowie’s September 2026 figure (1,605) broke from its own series, so its forecast carries that level; the average of its earlier months would have called 2,701. Together the ten come to 161,027, inside the market forecast of 165,305 for every tracked site.

Miles explains

Rezolve Ai has the biggest expected rise (+3%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.

What could knock October 2026 off course:

• A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai agents for ecommerce”.
• A Google update.
• A site going offline.
• A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.

None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
