WorldVisits a month to AI marketing agent sites, worldwide
Miles explains
I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are up, so they don’t agree yet.
Search trends
2How many people search for AI marketing agents in 2026?

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

Traffic, not quality. 45 more listed tools are not measured here: 28 are measured in the category of their main product, 6 sit on shared domains whose traffic is not their own, 6 live on domains whose traffic is mostly another product and 5 fall outside this category's definition.
Miles explains
Simplified alone has 36% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
