Each row uses only data from before that month.

Miles explains

6 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was August 2026 (+13%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.

Visits are up on a year ago (+32%), and the last three months were higher than the three before. Name searches are down (-18% since October 2025). Recent months are getting stronger; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026.

12-month trend

+4.0% a month; the forecast carries the level of recent months, not the slope

Miles explains

Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: +15%.

No seasonal pattern is used in this forecast: the five-year Google Trends series for "ai contract management" has too many empty months (22 of 61, the last in December 2024) to read a seasonal pattern from.

On the calendar, November brings Black Friday and Cyber Monday and Thanksgiving (US). Once the Google Trends series for the term can be read month by month, this section scores each month against an average month and tests whether that helps the forecast.

About 2.9M visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 2.6M to 3.3M.

By May 2027 the forecast expects about 2,942,383 visits a month, +0.4% on the 2,930,859 of October 2026, so the next six months look flat.

The forecast expects none of the 5 to rise by more than 3%, and Concord (-4%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

The 5 site forecasts add up to 2,943,921, more than the market forecast of 2,942,383 for every tracked site. Each site is forecast from its own months, with the weighting that suited that site best, and the market from the total, so the two need not add up. Read the site figures one at a time, not as a sum.

What could knock November 2026 off course:

• A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai contract management”.
• A Google update.
• A site going offline.
• A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.

None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
