Shrinking, but name searches are up 15% since October 2025.

Over two years, visits went from 1.0M in November 2024 to a high of 1.4M in January 2025, fell to 353K in April 2025, and recovered to 594K in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Salesforge, which is why I also look at the market without it.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are up, so they don’t agree yet.

“ai sdr” is searched about 4,400 times a month worldwide, 36% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai sdr” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in June 2026. Americans make 36% of the searches but only 19.6% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Canada and United Kingdom.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

More visits than a year ago only because of Salesforge, more people searching by name, and the next six months look flat after a step down.

The fastest growers over the year, Salesforge and Qualified, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Reply.io, lost most of their search visits (-60%).

Visits vs September 2026

+21%

Biggest gain this month

Knock AI +68%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Salesforge’s +329% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be 5% fewer than October 2026, and the next six months to look down.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.

Expected in November 2026

562,328 visits

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 4 times.

The most visited is Apollo.io, with 278,254 visits a month, 47% of all visits.

Apollo.io and Salesforge together hold 67% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 13 sites share 9.1%.

Apollo.io alone has 47% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.

Yes. Every number on these pages comes from two CSV files, free to download.

sites.csv has one row per site: its Google US position for “ai sdr”, Tranco rank, Chrome UX tier, visits from Google worldwide and in the US, name searches, Domain Rating and referring domains, with the month each figure covers. market.csv has the monthly totals across the tracked sites: visits worldwide and in the US, name searches and referring domains. Blanks mean the source had no figure, never zero.
