Every month I add up the Google visits to the 12 AI poster maker 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 497 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Adobe; without it, visits are about level on a year ago.

The total hides very different stories: one site grew 25% in a year while another lost 75% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

The highest month of the last two years was June 2026, with 625,507,212 visits; October 2026 is 21% below it. In the US, visits were 59,249,025, down 9% on a year ago.

Miles explains

Visits are lower than a year ago. Most of the drop since September 2026 is one site: Adobe went from 278,901,759 to 250,960,787 visits. Without it, the other sites grew 5% on the month. Google Trends interest in the term fell (-44%), but name searches did not, so some interest has cooled.

2.Are people searching for AI poster maker sites by name?

About level with October 2025 (-1%); 32M name searches a month in the US

About as many as before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI poster maker sites 31,884,950 times in September 2026, about the same as 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 poster maker” itself gets about 1,600 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

3.Which AI poster maker sites grew, and which shrank?

The five most-visited sites hold 99.8% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 100%

The five most-visited AI poster maker sites get 99.8% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Picsart, from 15,093,268 to 18,802,910 visits (+25%). Steepest fall: Piktochart, from 1,400,863 to 355,555 visits (-75%).
