Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are about level with a year ago, and 48% below the January 2026 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

Most searched by name, US

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: “interview copilot”.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are down 31%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.
