Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 348K in November 2024 to a high of 468K in March 2025, and stand at 205K in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Gem, 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 down, so they agree.

“ai sourcing tool” is searched about 390 times a month worldwide, 44% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai sourcing tool” until August 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in March 2026. Americans make 44% of the searches but only 18.6% 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.

Fewer visits than a year ago, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.

The losers, led by Findem, lost most of their search visits (-86%).

Visits vs September 2026

Biggest gain this month

Juicebox +24%

Biggest loss this month

SeekOut -26%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Juicebox’s +47% 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 about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look flat.

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

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 5 times.

The most visited is Gem, with 103,048 visits a month, 50% of all visits.

Gem and Juicebox together hold 64% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 9 sites share 12.7%.

Miles explains

Gem alone has 50% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
