The answer▲ Growing
- Visits, year on year, without ChatGPT
- +4.6%
- Visits, last six months
- +67%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- +5.1%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 160 AI tools for data analysis 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 1.2 billion visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, ChatGPT; without it, visits are up 5% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 1549% in a year while another lost 100% 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.
