2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-24%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-26%). Klippa (Doxis AI.dp) made most of the move in October 2026: it lost 304,650 of the market's 386,888 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 9.7% on September 2026.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 24% below a year ago, and 58% below the February 2025 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 7% less often than in October 2025 (-7%). 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 7%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 14 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 14 in every 100 visits. India alone is 76.2% of the countries measured outside it.

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 66.5% of all visits. When one of them gains or loses a big ranking, the whole market total moves with it.

6Who grew and who shrank

The fastest grower in a year was Klippa (Doxis AI.dp) (+805%); the steepest fall was at Medius (-87%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
