The answer▼ Shrinking
- Visits, year on year, without Adobe
- -4.7%
- Visits, last six months
- -19%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- -0.5%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 25 AI animation 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 480 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Adobe; without it, visits are down 5% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 227% in a year while another lost 95% 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
Visits are lower than a year ago. Most of the drop since September 2026 is one site: Adobe went from 278,901,759 to 250,960,787 visits. Without it, the other sites grew 5% on the month. Google Trends interest in the term fell (-44%), but name searches did not, so some interest has cooled.
2.Are people searching for AI animation generator sites by name?
About level with October 2025 (-1%); 32M name searches a month in the US
About as many as before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI animation generator sites 31,807,190 times in September 2026, about the same as 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 animation generator” itself gets about 3,600 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).
