Every month I add up the Google visits to the 8 AI phone assistant sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 214,778 visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Allo; without it, visits are up 102% on a year ago.
See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI phone assistant sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, Allo; without it, visits are up 102% on a year ago.
2.Are people searching for AI phone assistant sites by name?
Down 35% on October 2025; 570 name searches a month in the US
Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI phone assistant sites 570 times in September 2026, 35% fewer searches than in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai phone assistant” itself gets about 880 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.
