Brand-name searches leave out AI Anime Generator: the name is shared with an ordinary word or another product.

2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-55%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-19%). Fotor, which takes 47.6% of all the visits, accounts for most of the fall (92% of it). Without it, visits would be down 16.1% on a year ago instead of down 55.2%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 55% below a year ago, and 59% below the January 2025 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

3How many people went looking

People typed a site’s name into Google 26% less often than in October 2025 (-26%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

US searches a month for the counted brand names, summed. Google Ads data via DataForSEO, to September 2026.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are down 26%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 8 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

Miles explains

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 8 in every 100 visits. India alone is 79.5% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Fotor gets the most visits, PixAI is the name people search for most, and GenAnime is the highest-placed tracked site on Google for “ai anime generator”, at position 15. The five most-visited sites take 90.5% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 90.5% of all visits. When one of them gains or loses a big ranking, the whole market total moves with it.

6Who grew and who shrank

The fastest grower in a year was DomoAI (+227%); the steepest fall was at Hotpot.ai (-93%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
