Is your website ready for its close-up with an AI Agent? 🤖👀

Google dropped some seriously massive updates, and they all point to one thing: Your website needs to become a "Do" Engine. If it's not set up to facilitate action, you’re missing out on serious growth opportunities.

The Top 5 Changes:
* AI Agents coming to *use* your site (not just find it!)
* October 2026 HTTPS is the hard deadline ⏰
* Content from your favorite social media platforms is now showing up in Discover!

Stop building digital brochures and start building 24/7 salespersons (minus the coffee breaks). Click below to read our 5 key takeaways and make sure your strategy is spiced up! 🌶️

Cloud Innovation for a Cause: Why Your Digital Marketing Partner is Nerding Out on AWS! 🤓

We just wrapped up a powerful day at AWS Innovate: Migrate and Modernize, and we are energized! We learned a LOTTTTT and are officially looking forward to applying these insights to serve our next client even better with new tech and their digital transformation.

Why the deep dive? Our commitment to working with non-profits and purpose-driven organizations means we need to understand their entire operating system—not just their social media feeds. Our clients need high-performing, secure, and cost-effective solutions.

That's why we focused on sessions like:

Cloud innovation for a cause: Bonterra’s modernization journey (showing how to increase giving to drive more global impact!)

Healthcare modernization with AWS: Strategies and benefits

Transforming government benefits through software innovation

AFDV Marketing is actively investing in learning these cutting-edge cloud solutions, AI topics, and best practices so we can guide our clients through their entire digital transformation journey—from pilot projects to full-scale production. This is how we are truly growing and enhancing the professional services we offer.

If your mission-driven organization is ready to move beyond legacy tech and build a truly future-proof digital venture, let’s talk.

Well, this was a humbling experience. humbling experience. humbling experience.

Have you ever made a small mistake that had big consequences? That was my last week. On the left is the suspension notice I received from Google for my business, AFDV Marketing. On the right is me, owning it.

I was trying to do the right thing by using a business address for compliance, but I chose the wrong type of virtual office and it triggered a "deceptive practices" violation. It was a tough but incredibly valuable lesson in transparency and what it really takes to build trust online.

I decided to share the entire story—what happened, how I'm fixing it, and what every business owner needs to know to avoid this trap.

You can read the full, detailed story on our blog or listen to my co-hosts and I break it all down on the latest episode of the Powered by AFDV podcast.

ChatGPT has only been around for 3 months, but it already appears to be the fastest-growing consumer-facing app ever. The Al tool already has 100 million monthly users, according to research from investment bank UBS. The report uses data from analytics firm Similarweb, which found that approx 13 million unique visitors used ChatGPT per day in January.
'In 20 years following the internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app, UBS' analysts wrote in the study. For comparison, it took 9 months for TikTok to reach 100 million monthly users. Instagram took 2.5 years to hit the mark.
ChatGPT, which uses Al to generate text, has become popular in many fields and for many uses, including writing essays, articles, résumés, and even jokes.

The most clicked posts on Instagram are typically those that are visually appealing, have an interesting caption, and are posted at the optimal time. Popular posts include travel and lifestyle photos, funny videos, and personal updates. Additionally, posts that feature popular celebrities or influencers, or those that ask people to take an action (e.g. comment, like, or tag) tend to be highly clicked. 💡
