Huge percentages like Clari’s +37% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.
Monthly forecast
4What happens next for AI forecasting tools?
I expect November 2026 to be 3% more than October 2026, and the next six months to look up.
The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.
