The answer▲ Growingbut visits are down 13% since April 2026
- Visits, year on year, without Canva
- +5.8%
- Visits, last six months
- -13%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- -0.6%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 16 AI mockup generator sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 243 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Canva; without it, visits are up 6% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 55% in a year while another lost 64% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

About as many as before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI mockup generator sites 30,684,290 times in September 2026, about the same as in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose.
