Miles explains
I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

I expect October 2026 to be about the same as September 2026, and the next six months to look down.
The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.

Miles explains
Artisan alone has 37% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
