AI sales agent statistics, September 2026

Miles FosterOwner and tester, RankDude

Every month I measure 6 AI sales agent sites with data from DataForSEO, Google Trends, Tranco and Ahrefs. They are the sites that rank on Google for "ai sales agents" plus the most-visited AI sales agent sites overall. In September 2026 they got about 45,451 visits from Google, 42% fewer than a year ago.

1Is the AI sales agent market growing in 2026?

Shrinking.

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.

Monthly forecast

4What happens next for AI sales agents?

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.

Share of all visits from Google. Traffic, not quality. 11 more listed tools are not measured here: 10 are measured in the category of their main product and 1 sits on a shared domain whose traffic is not its own.

Miles explains

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