Brand-name searches leave out Humanize AI: the name is shared with an ordinary word or another product.
2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+25%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-18%). ZeroGPT alone takes 56.6% of the visits, so the totals mostly follow it. Without it, visits would be up 31.3% on a year ago instead of up 25.1%. ZeroGPT made most of the move in October 2026: it lost 3,302,944 of the market's 3,932,786 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 7.5% on September 2026.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 25% above a year ago, and 19% below the April 2026 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.
3How many people went looking
People typed a site’s name into Google 25% less often than in October 2025 (-25%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.
USSearches a month for the site names, United States
US searches a month for the counted brand names, summed. Google Ads data via DataForSEO, to September 2026.
Miles explains
Name searches are the number I trust most. They are down 25%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.
4Where the visitors live
About 18 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.
