2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+25%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-4%). Docusign, which takes 90.2% of all the visits, gained more visits on its own than the whole market gained in a year. Without it, visits would be down 16.4% on a year ago instead of up 25.0%. Docusign lost more visits in October 2026 (148,463) than the whole market did (140,242); without it, visits to the other sites rose 2.8% on September 2026.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 25% above a year ago, and 25% 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 United Kingdom.
