- Name searches vs October 2025
- -36%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 10 enterprise AI agent 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 298,194 visits. Writer made most of the move in September 2026: it lost 53,129 of the market's 75,951 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 10.3% on August 2026.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 269% in a year while another lost 98% 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.

Miles explains
Visits are lower than a year ago and lower than in August 2026, so the fall is still going. Name searches fell (-36%), but Google Trends interest in the term rose (+75%). The counted sites are losing ground; that does not mean interest in enterprise AI agent sites is falling.
2.Are people searching for enterprise AI agent sites by name?
Down 36% on October 2025; 11.0K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted enterprise AI agent sites 11,020 times in September 2026, 36% 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.

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