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.

Rising next to the term on Google Trends: “company name generator ai”, “company name generator” and “app name generator”.
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.
