2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-39%), and October 2026 was a better month than September 2026 (+12%). Huntr lost more visits on its own than the whole market lost in a year. Without it, visits would be up 19.6% on a year ago instead of down 38.6%. LoopCV gained more visits in October 2026 (29,740) than the whole market did (17,859); without it, visits to the other sites fell 11.2% on September 2026.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 39% below a year ago, and 54% below the January 2025 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 5% more often than in October 2025 (+5%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 5%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 26 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 26 in every 100 visits. India alone is 61.9% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

LoopCV gets the most visits, AIApply is the name people search for most, and JobCopilot is the highest-placed tracked site on Google for “ai job application bot”, at position 13. The five most-visited sites take 92.7% of all visits.

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 92.7% 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 LoopCV (+120%); the steepest fall was at Huntr (-91%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
