2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+298%), and October 2026 was a better month than September 2026 (+4%). ChatGPT, which takes 95.8% of all the visits, accounts for most of the rise (98% of it). Without it, visits would be up 81.3% on a year ago instead of up 297.9%. ChatGPT made most of the move in October 2026: it gained 33,563,995 of the market's 39,286,029 visits; without it, visits to the other sites rose 16.5% on September 2026.

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 298% above a year ago, and this is the highest month in two years. 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 6% more often than in October 2025 (+6%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 6%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.
