- Name searches vs October 2025

Every month I add up the Google visits to the 7 AI anime girlfriend app 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 13 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, PolyBuzz; without it, visits are down 30% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 3185% in a year while another lost 94% 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
More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI anime girlfriend app sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, PolyBuzz; without it, visits are down 30% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI anime girlfriend app sites by name?
Up 81% on October 2025; 7.0M name searches a month in the US
Yes, more than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI anime girlfriend app sites 6,967,500 times in September 2026, 81% more searches than 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.

Name searches are up 81%. This number does not change when Google reshuffles its results, so it is the most reliable sign of growth on this page.
