2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got about as many visits from Google as a year ago (+3%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-11%). Grok, which takes 48.4% of all the visits, gained more visits on its own than the whole market gained in a year. Without it, visits would be down 33.7% on a year ago instead of up 2.7%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are about level with a year ago, and 21% 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 8% more often than in October 2025 (+8%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

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 up 8%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 6 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

Miles explains

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 6 in every 100 visits. India alone is 79.9% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Grok gets the most visits, Grok is the name people search for most, and Imgveo AI is the highest-placed tracked site on Google for “ai image to video”, at position 4. The five most-visited sites take 80.8% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 80.8% of all visits. When one of them gains or loses a big ranking, the whole market total moves with it.

6Who grew and who shrank

The fastest grower in a year was MindVideo AI (+1922%); the steepest fall was at Kling AI (-90%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
