2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-39%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-7%).

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 39% below a year ago, and 52% 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 11% less often than in October 2025 (-11%). 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 11%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 18 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 18 in every 100 visits. India alone is 66% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Zoho gets the most visits, Salesforce is the name people search for most, and no tracked site ranks on Google for “ai sales tools”. The five most-visited sites take 91.2% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 91.2% 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 Salesforge (+329%); the steepest fall was at OpenAsset (-84%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
