Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 12% below a year ago, and 21% below the June 2026 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 about as often as in October 2025 (-1%). 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 about level, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 11 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 11 in every 100 visits. India alone is 72.8% of the countries measured outside it.

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 95.5% 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 Photiu.ai (+316%); the steepest fall was at Pixian.AI (-79%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
