Shrinking, but visits without Careerfittest are up 70% on a year ago.

Over two years, visits went from 878 in November 2024 to a high of 9.3K in January 2026, fell to 3.7K in July 2026, and recovered to 6.0K in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Careerfittest, which is why I also look at the market without it.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are up and name searches are down, so they don’t agree yet.

“ai career coach” is searched about 1,000 times a month worldwide, 39% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai career coach” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in June 2026. Americans make 39% of the searches but only 28.9% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Canada and United Kingdom.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

About as many visits than a year ago only because of Careerfittest, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat after a step down.

I expect November 2026 to be 12% fewer than October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.

Expected in November 2026

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 4 times.

Miles explains

Careerfittest alone has 49% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
