Market demand
2Is the AI tools for marketing market growing in 2026?
Growing, but visits without ChatGPT are down 14% on a year ago.
Over two years, visits went from 440M in November 2024 to a high of 1498M in October 2026, and stand at 1498M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, ChatGPT, which is why I also look at the market without it.

WorldVisits a month to AI tools for marketing sites, worldwide
Miles explains
I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are up, so they don’t agree yet.
Search trends
3How many people search for AI tools for marketing in 2026?
“ai tools for marketing” is searched about 8,100 times a month worldwide, 44% of it in the US.
Google Trends barely registered “ai tools for marketing” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in September 2025. Americans make 44% of the searches but only 9.7% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Canada and Germany.

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.
Monthly analysis
4What changed in the AI tools for marketing market in October 2026?
More visits than a year ago only because of ChatGPT, more people searching by name, and the next six months look like growth.
The fastest growers over the year, ChatGPT, Claude and Higgsfield, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Creatopy, lost most of their search visits (-100%).
- Visits vs September 2026

Creatopy-99.7%

Miles explains
Huge percentages like ChatGPT’s +320% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.
Monthly forecast
5What happens next for AI tools for marketing?
I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look up.
The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a busier month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.
- Expected in November 2026
- 1,525,605,088 visits
- Likely range
- 1404M to 1648M
- Expected in May 2027
- 1574M +5%

ChatGPT alone has 61% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
