- Visits, last six months

- Name searches vs October 2025
- -53%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 9 AI icon generator 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 4.9 million visits. Fotor alone takes 66.5% of the visits, so the totals mostly follow it.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 550% in a year while another lost 99.5% 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 and lower than in September 2026, so the fall is still going. Name searches (-53%) 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 icon generator sites by name?
Down 53% on October 2025; 45.3K name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI icon generator sites 45,340 times in September 2026, 53% 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 icon generator” 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.
