Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI animation generator sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 477 million visits, about the same as in October 2026.

Below: how my last forecast did, the next six months and site by site.

Each row uses only data from before that month.

Miles explains

5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was July 2026 (-9%), 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 (-11%), and the last three months were lower than the three before. Name searches are about level (-1% since October 2025). Recent months are getting weaker; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026.

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: -15%.

3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?

November is usually an average month for searches for “ai animation generator”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

Miles explains

I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (7.8% average miss with it, 4.7% without), so I show it but leave it out.

4What to expect in November 2026

About 477M visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 439M to 516M.

5What to expect over the next six months

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites

The forecast expects Krea (+4%), Vidu (+4%), DomoAI (+5%) and Powtoon (+7%) to rise, and Animaker (-5%) 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.

The ten site forecasts add up to 479,977,387, more than the market forecast of 477,316,235 for every tracked site. Each site is forecast from its own months, with the weighting and the seasonal pattern that suited that site best, and the market from the total, so the two need not add up: Vidu is forecast with the seasonal pattern for November 2026, which the market forecast does not use this month. Read the site figures one at a time, not as a sum.

Miles explains

Powtoon has the biggest expected rise (+7%). 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 animation generator”.
  • 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.
