Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI RPA tool sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 29 million visits, about the same as in October 2026.
Below: how my last forecast did, the next six months and site by site.

Each row uses only data from before that month.
Miles explains
5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was August 2026 (+17%), 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 (+102%), and the last three months were higher than the three before. Name searches are down (-13% since October 2025). Recent months are getting stronger; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as 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: +27%.
3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?
No seasonal pattern is used in this forecast: Google Trends interest in "ai rpa" is too low 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 29M visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 27M to 31M.

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites
The forecast expects Klippa (+14%), Laiye (+12%) and Radium AI (+60%) to rise, and UiPath (-5%), Tungsten Automation (-5%), Blue Prism (-12%) and Nintex (-3%) 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.

Radium AI is held to its own range from October 2026. The ten site forecasts add up to 29,071,200, more than the market forecast of 29,057,629 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
Radium AI has the biggest expected rise (+60%). 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 rpa”.
- 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.
