1How many visits
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+113%), and September 2026 was a better month than August 2026 (+18%).

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 113% above a year ago, and this is the highest month in two years. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.
2How many people went looking
People typed a site’s name into Google 27% less often than in October 2025 (-27%). That is the loyalty number, because nobody types a name by accident.

Ordered by US searches for the brand name in September 2026. A measured order, not a ranking.
Rising next to the term on Google Trends: “ai agents moltbook”, “demystifying evals for ai agents”, “autonomous ai agents” and “what is ai agents”.
Miles explains
Name searches are the number I trust most. They are down 27%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.
