2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-4%), and October 2026 was a better month than September 2026 (+6%). Canva, which takes 99.8% of all the visits, accounts for most of the fall (90% of it). Without it, visits would be down 66.2% on a year ago instead of down 4.0%. Canva gained more visits in October 2026 (13,048,805) than the whole market did (13,019,822); without it, visits to the other sites fell 5.7% on September 2026.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 4% below a year ago, and 14% below the April 2026 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 about as often as in October 2025 (0%). 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 about level, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.
4Where the visitors live
About 10 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.
