Is the AI presentation maker market growing or shrinking?

The answer▼ Shrinking
- Visits, year on year, without Slidesgo
- 0%
- Visits, last six months
- -18%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- -35%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 34 AI presentation maker sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In September 2026 they got about 15 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Slidesgo; without it, visits are about level on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 685% in a year while another lost 96% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for October 2026.

Only because of Slidesgo. The 34 tracked AI presentation maker sites got 15,440,795 visits from Google search in September 2026. That is 11% fewer visits than in September 2025, or about the same without Slidesgo, and about the same as in August 2026.
The highest month of the last two years was January 2026, with 20,616,247 visits; September 2026 is 25% below it. In the US, visits were 1,536,147, about level with a year ago.

Miles explains
Visits are lower than a year ago. September 2026 was level on August 2026, but the forecast still points down, so the fall may not be over. Name searches (-35%) and Google Trends interest in the term (-62%) fell too, so people are less interested, not just finding these sites less often.
2.Are people searching for AI presentation maker sites by name?
Down 35% on October 2025; 661K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI presentation maker sites 660,870 times in September 2026, 35% fewer searches than in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai presentation maker” itself gets about 9,900 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.
