2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-36%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-19%). Resume.io alone takes 46.1% of the visits, so the totals mostly follow it. Without it, visits would be down 43.7% on a year ago instead of down 36.3%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 36% below a year ago, and 56% below the December 2024 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 22% less often than in October 2025 (-22%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are down 22%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 9 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

Miles explains

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 9 in every 100 visits. India alone is 92.3% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Resume.io gets the most visits, Resume.io is the name people search for most, and Kickresume is the highest-placed tracked site on Google for “ai resume checker”, at position 5. The five most-visited sites take 95.5% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 95.5% of all visits. When one of them gains or loses a big ranking, the whole market total moves with it.

6Who grew and who shrank

The fastest grower in a year was 1MillionResume (+516%); the steepest fall was at BeamJobs (-91%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
