Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 105K in November 2024 to a high of 652K in June 2026, and stand at 284K in October 2026. Five sites take 83.4% of visits, so one ranking change at the top moves the whole line.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are down, so they agree.

“ai front desk” is searched about 720 times a month worldwide, 54% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai front desk” until July 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in April 2026. Americans make 54% of the searches but only 49.1% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Canada and Germany.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is higher than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.

The losers, led by Notable, lost most of their search visits (-86%).

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look flat.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 3 times.

The most visited is Frontdesk (My AI Front Desk), with 81,430 visits a month, 29% of all visits.

Frontdesk (My AI Front Desk) and Emitrr together hold 49% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 15 sites share 16.6%.

Miles explains

Frontdesk (My AI Front Desk) alone has 29% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
