The answer▼ Shrinking

Visits, year on year
-39%
Visits, last six months
-20%
Name searches vs October 2025
-11%

Every month I add up the Google visits to the 81 AI sales tools 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 34 million visits.

The total hides very different stories: one site grew 329% in a year while another lost 84% 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.

Miles explains

Visits are lower than a year ago and lower than in September 2026, so the fall is still going. Name searches (-11%) and Google Trends interest in the term (-70%) fell too, so people are less interested, not just finding these sites less often.

2.Are people searching for AI sales tools sites by name?

Down 11% on October 2025; 1.7M name searches a month in the US

Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI sales tools sites 1,735,620 times in September 2026, 11% fewer searches than 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 sales tools” itself gets about 880 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains

Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.

3.Which AI sales tools sites grew, and which shrank?

The five most-visited sites hold 91.2% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 95.3%

The five most-visited AI sales tools sites get 91.2% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Salesforge, from 28,282 to 121,359 visits (+329%). Steepest fall: OpenAsset, from 19,779 to 3,133 visits (-84%).
