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.

2How 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, because nobody types a name by accident.

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.
