Every month I measure Google visits to the 16 self-hosted AI agent sites I track, and how often people search for them by name. In October 2026 they got about 1.1 million visits, 214% more than a year ago and 3% more than in September 2026.

Self-hosted AI agent market: the key numbers for October 2026
Four numbers for October 2026. Visits mean visits from Google search to the tracked sites. Tap one for the detail below.
- The tracked sites got 1,090,992 visits from Google in October 2026, 214% more than a year ago and 3% more than in September 2026. OpenClaw, which first drew search visits in February 2026, accounts for most of the rise (99% of it) and takes 67.6% of the visits. Without it, visits would be up 1.7% on a year ago instead of up 214.2%.
- Google Ads gives no search figure I can publish for āself hosted ai agentsā this month. People searched the site names 114,650 times in the US in September 2026, 195% more often than in October 2025.
- No tracked site ranks on Google for āself hosted ai agentsā. OpenClaw is the most-visited site.
- 18.4% of visits came from the US (16% a year ago), then India, Canada and Germany. The five most-visited sites took 91.7% of all visits.

OpenClaw, which first drew search visits in February 2026, accounts for most of the rise (99% of it) and takes 67.6% of the visits. Without it, visits would be up 1.7% on a year ago instead of up 214.2%.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 214% 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 siteās name into Google 195% more often than in October 2025 (+195%). That is the loyalty number, because nobody types a name by accident.
