Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 18% below a year ago, and 64% below the April 2025 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

2How 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, because nobody types a name by accident.

Most searched by name, US

Rising next to the term on Google Trends: “hinge ai dating app”.

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.
