Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI presentation maker sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For October 2026 I expect about 15 million visits, about the same as in September 2026.
Below: how my last forecast did, the next six months and site by site.

Each row uses only data from before that month.
Miles explains
6 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was July 2026 (-8%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.
2What is the market doing now?
Visits are down on a year ago (-11%), and the last three months were lower than the three before. Name searches are down (-35% since October 2025). Recent months are getting weaker; the forecast expects October 2026 to be about the same as September 2026.

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: -12%.
3Is October usually a big month or a quiet one?
October is usually a bigger month than average (16% above) for searches for “ai presentation maker”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

- On the calendar
- the start of the fourth quarter and next year's budget planning
- Biggest months
- April, May, October and November
- Quietest months
- January, June and July
- Used in this forecast?
- No: average miss 3.8% as chosen, 3.8% without the pattern, 14.2% always with it

Miles explains
I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (14.2% average miss with it, 3.8% without), so I show it but leave it out.
4What to expect in October 2026
About 15M visits in October 2026, about the same as September 2026. The likely range is 14M to 16M.

5What to expect over the next six months

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites
The forecast expects SlideSpeak (+18%) and Prezent (+4%) to rise, and Slidesgo (-3%) and AiPPT (-7%) 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.

SlideSpeak is held to its own range from September 2026. Together the ten come to 14,565,275, inside the market forecast of 15,220,930 for every tracked site.
Miles explains
SlideSpeak has the biggest expected rise (+18%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.
7What could change the forecast
What could knock October 2026 off course:
- A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai presentation maker”.
- 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.
