The backtest, month by month

Each row uses only data from before that month.

Miles explains

5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was October 2026 (+10%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.

Visits are up on a year ago (+22%), and the last three months were higher than the three before. Name searches are up (+114% since October 2025). Recent months are getting stronger, yet the forecast expects November 2026 to be down on October 2026, because it averages October 2026 with the months before it, which were lower. The backtest below shows how often this method calls the direction right.

12-month trend

+1.4% a month; the forecast carries part of the slope, fading

Miles explains

Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: +4%.

November is usually a bigger month than average (10% above) for searches for “ai summarizer”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

Used in this forecast?

No: average miss 5.1% as chosen, 5.1% without the pattern, 24.5% always with it

Miles explains

I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (24.5% average miss with it, 5.1% without), so I show it but leave it out.

About 54M visits in November 2026, down 5% on October 2026. The likely range is 50M to 58M.

By May 2027 the forecast expects about 54,958,327 visits a month, -3% on the 56,845,141 of October 2026, so the next six months look flat, after a step down from October 2026.

The forecast expects NoteGPT (+4%) and AI Summarizer (+4%) to rise, and Notta (-7%), Wordtune (-8%) and SMMRY (-8%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

The ten site forecasts add up to 57,259,722, more than the market forecast of 53,981,290 for every tracked site. Each site is forecast from its own months, with the weighting that suited that site best, and the market from the total, so the two need not add up. Read the site figures one at a time, not as a sum.

Miles explains

NoteGPT has the biggest expected rise (+4%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.

What could knock November 2026 off course:

• A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai summarizer”.
• A Google update.
• A site going offline.
• A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.

None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
