Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI Excel tool sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 338,866 visits, about the same as in October 2026.

Below: how my last forecast did, the next six months and site by site.

Each row uses only data from before that month.

Miles explains

5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was May 2026 (-32%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.

2What is the market doing now?

Visits are down on a year ago (-74%), and the last three months were lower than the three before. Name searches are down (-21% since October 2025). Recent months are getting weaker; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026.

Miles explains

Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: -20%.

3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?

November is usually a quieter month than average (8% below) for searches for “ai excel tool”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

Miles explains

I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (17.1% average miss with it, 13.7% without), so I show it but leave it out.

4What to expect in November 2026

About 339K visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 282K to 396K.

5What to expect over the next six months

By May 2027 the forecast expects about 311,286 visits a month, -10% on the 347,409 of October 2026, so the next six months look like a slide.

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites

The forecast expects Ajelix (+7%) to rise, and Rows (-4%), GPT for Work (-11%), Excelmatic (-6%), Quadratic (-5%) and Workik (-4%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

Formula Bot’s October 2026 figure (40,748) broke from its own series, so its forecast carries that level; the average of its earlier months would have called 48,333. Formulas HQ’s October 2026 figure (10,835) broke from its own series, so its forecast carries that level; the average of its earlier months would have called 8,953. Together the ten come to 305,140, inside the market forecast of 338,866 for every tracked site.

Miles explains

Ajelix has the biggest expected rise (+7%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.

7What could change the forecast

What could knock November 2026 off course:

  • A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai excel tool”.
  • A Google update.
  • A site going offline.
  • A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.

None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
