2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+42%), and October 2026 was about the same as September 2026 (+1%). Papago alone takes 48.1% of the visits, so the totals mostly follow it. Without it, visits would be up 50.7% on a year ago instead of up 41.9%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 42% above a year ago, and this is the highest month in two years. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

3How many people went looking

People typed a site’s name into Google 408% more often than in October 2025 (+408%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

US searches a month for the counted brand names, summed. Google Ads data via DataForSEO, to September 2026.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 408%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 3 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

Miles explains

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 3 in every 100 visits. India alone is 46.2% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Papago gets the most visits, Claude is the name people search for most, and Wordly is the highest-placed tracked site on Google for “ai translator”, at position 4. The five most-visited sites take 93.7% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 93.7% of all visits. When one of them gains or loses a big ranking, the whole market total moves with it.

6Who grew and who shrank

The fastest grower in a year was JotMe (+3774%); the steepest fall was at Bureau Works (-100%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
