2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+55%), and October 2026 was about the same as September 2026 (-1%). Eat This Much, which takes 78.1% of all the visits, accounts for most of the rise (72% of it). Without it, visits would be up 85.6% on a year ago instead of up 55.0%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 55% above a year ago, and 12% below the June 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 26% less often than in October 2025 (-26%). 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 down 26%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 54 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is Canada.

Miles explains

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 54 in every 100 visits. Canada alone is 35.2% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Eat This Much gets the most visits, eMeals is the name people search for most, and no tracked site ranks on Google for “ai meal planner”. The five most-visited sites take 99.5% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 99.5% 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 Strongrfastr (+339%); the steepest fall was at Plan to Eat (-30%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
