2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+39%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-15%). ACRCloud, which takes 55.7% of all the visits, accounts for most of the rise (50% of it). Without it, visits would be up 45.8% on a year ago instead of up 39.0%. AI Voice Detector made most of the move in October 2026: it lost 2,093 of the market's 3,075 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 7.8% on September 2026.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 39% above a year ago, and 18% below the August 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 40% more often than in October 2025 (+40%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

Miles explains
Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 40%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.
4Where the visitors live
About 15 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is Canada.
