2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-22%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-13%). invideo alone takes 59.6% of the visits, so the totals mostly follow it. Without it, visits would be down 41.6% on a year ago instead of down 21.6%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 22% below a year ago, and 37% below the May 2026 high. 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 43% less often than in October 2025 (-43%). 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 down 43%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

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

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 7 in every 100 visits. India alone is 84.3% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

invideo gets the most visits, invideo is the name people search for most, and no tracked site ranks on Google for “ai youtube shorts generator”. The five most-visited sites take 93.3% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 93.3% 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 VideoGen (+44%); the steepest fall was at AutoShorts.ai (-86%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
