2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-55%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-17%). Namelix alone takes 87.2% of the visits, so the totals mostly follow it. Without it, visits would be down 83.2% on a year ago instead of down 54.5%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 55% below a year ago, and 58% below the February 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 53% less often than in October 2025 (-53%). 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 53%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer 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 India.

Miles explains

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 15 in every 100 visits. India alone is 70.1% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Namelix gets the most visits, Business Name Generator is the name people search for most, and no tracked site ranks on Google for “ai name generator”. The five most-visited sites take 98.5% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 98.5% 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

No tracked site with at least 5,000 visits a year ago grew; the steepest fall was at Name Fatso (-99%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.

Declining

Worldwide search visits, October 2026 against a year earlier; sites with at least 5,000 visits a year ago.
