Brand-name searches leave out Manus: the name is shared with an ordinary word or another product.
2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+189%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-16%). Manus, which takes 92.9% of all the visits, gained more visits on its own than the whole market gained in a year. Without it, visits would be down 32.5% on a year ago instead of up 189.0%. Manus made most of the move in October 2026: it lost 223,425 of the market's 227,286 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 4.4% on September 2026.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 189% above a year ago, and 20% below the August 2026 high. 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 48% less often than in October 2025 (-48%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

US searches a month for the counted brand names, summed. Google Ads data via DataForSEO, to September 2026.
Miles explains
Name searches are the number I trust most. They are down 48%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.
4Where the visitors live
About 7 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.
