Every month I add up the Google visits to the 5 AI contract management software 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 2.9 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Docusign; without it, visits are up 35% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 113% in a year while another lost 56% 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 contract management software sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, Docusign; without it, visits are up 35% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI contract management software sites by name?
Down 18% on October 2025; 1.0M name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI contract management software sites 1,045,920 times in September 2026, 18% 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.

Miles explains
Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.
