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.
2How 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, because nobody types a name by accident.

Ordered by US searches for the brand name in September 2026. A measured order, not a ranking.
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.
