Every month I add up the Google visits to the 18 AI SDR tool 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 593,528 visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Salesforge; without it, visits are down 5% on a year ago.

The total hides very different stories: one site grew 329% in a year while another lost 60% 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

More visits than a year ago means new people are still finding AI SDR tool sites through Google. Most of that growth is one site, Salesforge; without it, visits are down 5% on a year ago.

2.Are people searching for AI SDR tool sites by name?

Up 15% on October 2025; 51.4K name searches a month in the US

Yes, more than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI SDR tool sites 51,390 times in September 2026, 15% more 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 sdr” itself gets about 1,600 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains

Name searches are up 15%. This number does not change when Google reshuffles its results, so it is the most reliable sign of growth on this page.

3.Which AI SDR tool sites grew, and which shrank?

The five most-visited sites hold 90.9% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 98.8%

The five most-visited AI SDR tool sites get 90.9% 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: Reply.io, from 72,820 to 28,939 visits (-60%).
