2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+223%), and October 2026 was a better month than September 2026 (+4%). OpenClaw, which first drew search visits in February 2026, accounts for most of the rise (73% of it) and takes 50.7% of the visits. Without it, visits would be up 59.5% on a year ago instead of up 223.3%. Sai by Simular gained more visits in October 2026 (82,429) than the whole market did (50,106); without it, visits to the other sites fell 2.7% on September 2026.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 223% above a year ago, and this is the highest month in two years. 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 217% more often than in October 2025 (+217%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 217%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 23 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.
