- Visits, last six months

- Name searches vs October 2025
- -68%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 11 AI copywriting tool 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 449,307 visits. Writer made most of the move in October 2026: it lost 41,486 of the market's 51,141 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 2.4% on September 2026.
See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
Visits are lower than a year ago. Most of the drop since September 2026 is one site: Writer went from 98,395 to 56,909 visits. Without it, the other sites held about level on the month. Name searches (-68%) and Google Trends interest in the term (-86%) fell too, so people are less interested, not just finding these sites less often.
2.Are people searching for AI copywriting tool sites by name?
Down 68% on October 2025; 17.5K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI copywriting tool sites 17,470 times in September 2026, 68% 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 copywriting tool” 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 copywriting tool sites grew, and which shrank?
The five most-visited sites hold 90.3% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 100%
The five most-visited AI copywriting tool sites get 90.3% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Steepest fall: Writesonic, from 510,401 to 25,690 visits (-95%).
