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

1How did the October 2026 forecast do?
In plain words: Last month’s forecast landed inside its range, 24% off. A hit.
In the October 2026 edition the forecast said October 2026 would bring about 173,958 search visits, somewhere between 69.6K and 278K. It brought 214,778. That landed inside the range, the month landing 24% above the forecast. Inside the range, but not a bullseye.

Across 1 earlier edition, every forecast for a month that has since closed.
Miles explains
4 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was September 2026 (+164%), 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 (+3152%), and the last three months were higher than the three before. Name searches are down (-35% since October 2025). Recent months are getting stronger, and the forecast follows them.
- Visits, 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: +406%.
3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?
No seasonal pattern is used in this forecast: the five-year Google Trends series for "ai phone assistant" has too many empty months (25 of 60, the last in December 2023) to read a seasonal pattern from.
On the calendar, November brings Black Friday and Cyber Monday and Thanksgiving (US). Once the Google Trends series for the term can be read month by month, this section scores each month against an average month and tests whether that helps the forecast.
4What to expect in November 2026
About 221K visits in November 2026, up 3% on October 2026. The likely range is 88.6K to 354K.

5What to expect over the next six months

6What the forecast expects for the 8 most-visited sites
The forecast expects Allo (+4%) and echowin (+4%) to rise, and IsOn24 (-17%) and Dialzara (-6%) 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.

The 8 site forecasts add up to 221,775, more than the market forecast of 221,388 for every tracked site. Each site is forecast from its own months, with the weighting that suited that site best, and the market from the total, so the two need not add up. Read the site figures one at a time, not as a sum.
Miles explains
echowin has the biggest expected rise (+4%). 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 phone 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.
