Each row uses only data from before that month.
Miles explains
5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was August 2026 (+46%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.
2What is the market doing now?
Visits are up on a year ago (+136%), and the last three months were higher than the three before. Name searches are up (+5% since October 2025). Recent months are getting stronger; the forecast expects November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026.

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: +51%.
3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?
No seasonal pattern is used in this forecast: the five-year Google Trends series for "ai tools for data analysis" has too many empty months (19 of 61, the last in April 2023) to read a seasonal pattern from.
On the calendar, November brings Black Friday and Cyber Monday and Thanksgiving (US). Once the Google Trends series for the term can be read month by month, this section scores each month against an average month and tests whether that helps the forecast.
4What to expect in November 2026
About 1.3B visits in November 2026, about the same as October 2026. The likely range is 1.2B to 1.4B.

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites
The forecast expects ChatGPT (+4%) and Manus (+3%) to rise, and Infogram (-4%) 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.
| Site | October 2026 | November 2026 forecast | Range | Change |

Together the ten come to 1,270,315,240, inside the market forecast of 1,273,383,812 for every tracked site.
Miles explains
ChatGPT has the biggest expected rise (+4%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.
7What could change the forecast
What could knock November 2026 off course:
- A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai tools for data analysis”.
- 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.
