The answer▼ Shrinkingbut visits are up 4.5% over the last six months
- Visits, year on year, without Docusign
- -24%
- Visits, last six months

- Name searches vs October 2025
- -17%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 11 AI contract generator 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 3.5 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Docusign; without it, visits are down 24% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 32% in a year while another lost 65% 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.

Up 16% on a year ago; down 5% on September 2026
Only because of Docusign. The 11 tracked AI contract generator sites got 3,507,913 visits from Google search in October 2026. That is 16% more visits than in October 2025, or 24% fewer without Docusign, and 5% fewer visits than in September 2026.
The highest month of the last two years was December 2024, with 5,033,702 visits; October 2026 is 30% below it. In the US, visits were 1,210,662, up 27% on a year ago.

Miles explains
More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI contract generator sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, Docusign; without it, visits are down 24% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI contract generator sites by name?
Down 17% on October 2025; 1.1M name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI contract generator sites 1,080,840 times in September 2026, 17% fewer 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. The term “ai contract generator” itself gets about 320 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains
Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.
3.Which AI contract generator sites grew, and which shrank?
The five most-visited sites hold 98.9% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 100%
The five most-visited AI contract generator sites get 98.9% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Docusign, from 2,128,795 to 2,813,404 visits (+32%). Steepest fall: Ironclad, from 112,446 to 39,720 visits (-65%).
