Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI forecasting tool sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 211,690 visits, 3% more than 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

1 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was June 2026 (+50%), 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 (-18%), and the last three months were lower than the three before. Name searches are down (-19% since October 2025). Recent months are getting weaker, yet the forecast expects November 2026 to be up on October 2026, because it averages October 2026 with the months before it, which were higher. The backtest below shows how often this method calls the direction right.

Green grew, red shrank. Source: DataForSEO.

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: -24%.

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

No seasonal pattern is used in this forecast: the five-year Google Trends series for "ai forecasting tool" has too many empty months (42 of 61, the last in May 2025) to read a seasonal pattern from.

On the calendar, November brings Black Friday and Cyber Monday and Thanksgiving (US). Once the Google Trends series for the term can be read month by month, this section scores each month against an average month and tests whether that helps the forecast.

4What to expect in November 2026

About 212K visits in November 2026, up 3% on October 2026. The likely range is 153K to 270K.

5What to expect over the next six months

By May 2027 the forecast expects about 211,690 visits a month, +3% on the 205,082 of October 2026, so the next six months look flat, after a step up from October 2026.

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

The forecast expects Clari (+6%) to rise, and H2O.ai (-8%), Outreach (-10%), Aviso (-17%), Forecastio (-6%) and Flowlity (-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.

Together the ten come to 205,534, inside the market forecast of 211,690 for every tracked site.

Miles explains

Clari has the biggest expected rise (+6%). 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 forecasting 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.
