Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI personal assistant sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 1.5 million visits, about the same as in October 2026.

Below: how my last forecast did, the next six months and site by site.

Visits from Google search to the tracked sites, a month. Hover or tap the chart for each month.

  • The AI personal assistant sites RankDude tracks got 1,456,575 visits from Google search in October 2026.
  • The forecast for November 2026 is 1,495,816 visits, about the same as October 2026, likely between 1.1M and 1.9M.
  • That is up on November 2025, when the same sites had 483,032 visits.

1How did the October 2026 forecast do?

In plain words: Last month’s forecast landed inside its range, 3% off. A hit.

In the October 2026 edition the forecast said October 2026 would bring about 1,419,854 search visits, somewhere between 571K and 2.3M. It brought 1,456,575. That landed inside the range, the month landing 3% above the forecast. That is a good month for a forecast.

Miles explains

5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was May 2026 (+62%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.

2What is the market doing now?

Visits are up on a year ago (+223%), and the last three months were higher than the three before. Name searches are up (+217% since October 2025). Recent months are getting stronger; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026.

Green grew, red shrank. Source: DataForSEO.

Miles explains

Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: +16%.

3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?

November is usually a quieter month than average (7% below) for searches for “ai personal assistant”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

Miles explains

I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (38.4% average miss with it, 12.2% without), so I show it but leave it out.

4What to expect in November 2026

About 1.5M visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 1.1M to 1.9M.

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites

The forecast expects Sai by Simular (+10%), Poke (+5%), Carly (+4%) and Lifestack (+10%) to rise, and Motion (-4%) and Vellum (-4%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

Together the ten come to 1,454,891, inside the market forecast of 1,495,816 for every tracked site.

Miles explains

Sai by Simular has the biggest expected rise (+10%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.

7What could change the forecast

What could knock November 2026 off course:

  • A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai personal assistant”.
  • A Google update.
  • A site going offline.
  • A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.

None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
