2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+4485%), and September 2026 was a better month than August 2026 (+172%). Allo, which takes 98% of all the visits, accounts for most of the rise (99% of it). Without it, visits would be up 63.7% on a year ago instead of up 4485.0%. Allo made most of the move in September 2026: it gained 112,361 of the market's 113,493 visits; without it, visits to the other sites rose 47.5% on August 2026.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 4485% 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.

Miles explains
There is no name-search total this month, so visits are the measure I lean on here.
