Google Ads put US searches for "ai contract management" more than five times higher in July 2026 than in the months before, while Google Trends interest in the US in July 2026 was 32 out of 100, against 68 in June 2026, so the term's search volume is held back on these pages until a later pull confirms it.

Brand-name searches leave out Concord: the name is shared with an ordinary word or another product.

2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+32%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-4%). Docusign, which takes 96% of all the visits, rose in line with the market (+32% on a year ago). Docusign lost more visits in October 2026 (148,463) than the whole market did (124,869); without it, visits to the other sites rose 25.1% on September 2026.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 32% above a year ago, and 20% below the December 2024 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 18% less often than in October 2025 (-18%). 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 down 18%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 33 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is Brazil.
