Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 33M in November 2024 to a high of 54M in December 2024, and stand at 27M in October 2026. Five sites take 95.5% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai crm” is searched about 6,600 times a month worldwide, 36% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai crm” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026. Americans make 36% of the searches but only 13.3% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, United Kingdom and Brazil.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.

The fastest growers over the year, HighLevel, Clarify and Close, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Zoho Bigin, lost most of their search visits (-79%).

Clarify -28%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like HighLevel’s +93% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look flat.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a busier month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Expected in November 2026

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 5 times.

The most visited is Zoho, with 10 million visits a month, 39% of all visits.

Zoho and Zendesk AI Agents together hold 62% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 13 sites share 4.5%.

Miles explains

Zoho alone has 39% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.

Yes. Every number on these pages comes from two CSV files, free to download.

sites.csv has one row per site: its Google US position for “ai crm”, Tranco rank, Chrome UX tier, visits from Google worldwide and in the US, name searches, Domain Rating and referring domains, with the month each figure covers. market.csv has the monthly totals across the tracked sites: visits worldwide and in the US, name searches and referring domains. Blanks mean the source had no figure, never zero.
