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.

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: “a2e ai image to video”, “higgsfield ai”, “higgsfield”, “grok”, “grok image to video”, “grok ai”, “grok ai image to video” and “pika ai”.

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.
