Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 18% above a year ago, and 13% below the February 2026 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

Ordered by US searches for the brand name in September 2026. A measured order, not a ranking.

Rising next to the term on Google Trends: “zach braff ai girlfriend”, “ai girlfriend mydreamcompanion.com”, “james mcavoy ai girlfriend” and “best ai girlfriend 2026”. Breakouts are usually a news story or a celebrity, not a product.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 28%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.
