Every month I add up the Google visits to the 12 AI executive assistant sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 191,423 visits.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 877% in a year while another lost 93% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
Visits are lower than a year ago, but the fall looks like it has stopped: October 2026 was level on September 2026. Name searches fell (-9%), but Google Trends interest in the term rose (+13%). The counted sites are losing ground; that does not mean interest in AI executive assistant sites is falling.
2.Are people searching for AI executive assistant sites by name?
Down 9% on October 2025; 15.8K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI executive assistant sites 15,790 times in September 2026, 9% fewer searches than in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai executive assistant” itself gets about 880 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains
Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.

The five most-visited sites hold 95.6% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 100%
