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%).

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.

2How 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, because nobody types a name by accident.

Most searched by name, US

Ordered by US searches for the brand name in September 2026. A measured order, not a ranking.

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.

3Who is on Google's first page

No tracked site is on Google’s first page for “ai anime generator”; the highest-placed is GenAnime, at position 15. Being on that page is the biggest single thing that decides how many visits a site gets.
