Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI agent for websites sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 492,032 visits, about the same as in October 2026.
Below: how my last forecast did, the next six months and site by site.

1How did the October 2026 forecast do?
In plain words: Last month’s forecast landed inside its range, 3% off. A hit.
In the October 2026 edition the forecast said October 2026 would bring about 479,329 search visits, somewhere between 393K and 566K. It brought 494,274. That landed inside the range, the month landing 3% above the forecast. That is a good month for a forecast.

Miles explains
5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was May 2026 (-19%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.
2What is the market doing now?
Visits are down on a year ago (-32%), and the last three months were lower than the three before. Name searches are down (-36% since October 2025). Recent months are getting weaker; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026.

Green grew, red shrank. Source: DataForSEO.
Miles explains
Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: -16%.
3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?
No seasonal pattern is used in this forecast: the five-year Google Trends series for "ai agents for websites" has too many empty months (42 of 60, the last in May 2025) to read a seasonal pattern from.
On the calendar, November brings Black Friday and Cyber Monday and Thanksgiving (US). Once the Google Trends series for the term can be read month by month, this section scores each month against an average month and tests whether that helps the forecast.
4What to expect in November 2026
About 492K visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 413K to 571K.

5What to expect over the next six months

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites
The forecast expects Chatbase (+4%) to rise, and YourGPT (-18%), Crisp (-10%), Chatling (-23%), SiteGPT (-4%) and Wonderchat (-7%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

Together the ten come to 443,280, inside the market forecast of 492,032 for every tracked site.
Miles explains
Chatbase has the biggest expected rise (+4%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.
7What could change the forecast
What could knock November 2026 off course:
- A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai agents for websites”.
- A Google update.
- A site going offline.
- A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.
None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
