Every month I add up the Google visits to the 17 enterprise AI agent sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 294,078 visits. Writer made most of the move in October 2026: it lost 41,486 of the market's 55,763 visits; without it, visits to the other sites fell 5.7% on September 2026.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 166% in a year while another lost 97% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
Visits are lower than a year ago and lower than in September 2026, so the fall is still going. Name searches rose (+12035%) and Google Trends interest in the term rose (+75%), so the drop looks like a few big sites losing Google rankings, not people losing interest.
2.Are people searching for enterprise AI agent sites by name?
Up 12035% on a year ago; 31.6K name searches a month in the US
Yes, more than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted enterprise AI agent sites 31,550 times in September 2026, 12035% more searches than a year earlier. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose.

Name searches are up while visits are down. People still want these sites; what fell was Google rankings, not interest.
