- Name searches vs October 2025

Every month I add up the Google visits to the 14 AI garden design tool 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 160,714 visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, HomeDesigns AI; without it, visits are up 70% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 1684% in a year while another lost 87% 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. Most of the drop since September 2026 is one site: Ideal House went from 132,225 to 125,099 visits. Without it, the other sites grew 6% on the month. Name searches (-48%) and Google Trends interest in the term (-74%) fell too, so people are less interested, not just finding these sites less often.
2.Are people searching for AI garden design tool sites by name?
Down 48% on October 2025; 4.1K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI garden design tool sites 4,070 times in September 2026, 48% 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 garden design” 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.
