The answer▲ Growingbut visits without Pippit are down 38% on a year ago
- Visits, year on year, without Pippit
- -38%
- Visits, last six months
- +27%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- +5.9%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 42 AI ad generator sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 2.3 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Pippit; without it, visits are down 38% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 368% in a year while another lost 83% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI ad generator sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, Pippit; without it, visits are down 38% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI ad generator sites by name?
Up 6% on October 2025; 58.4K name searches a month in the US
Yes, more than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI ad generator sites 58,390 times in September 2026, 6% more 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 ad generator” itself gets about 1,900 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains
Name searches are up 6%. This number does not change when Google reshuffles its results, so it is the most reliable sign of growth on this page.
3.Which AI ad generator sites grew, and which shrank?
The five most-visited sites hold 83.8% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 93.2%
The five most-visited AI ad generator sites get 83.8% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Pippit, from 304,435 to 1,423,990 visits (+368%). Steepest fall: Phot.AI, from 396,079 to 66,041 visits (-83%).
