Everyone is talking about how SEO is dead.
It is not.
Bad SEO is dead.
Lazy SEO is dead.
SEO that ignores LLM search is already six feet under.

And if your SEO strategy still looks like 2019
your website might be the scariest thing on the internet today.

We are living in the era of AI search, entity optimization, structured content, and multi platform trust signals.
Google is changing.
ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are already rewriting discovery.

If your content is not optimized for humans and machines
if your site architecture does not speak the language of LLMs
if your brand presence is not backed by Expertise, Experience, Authority, and Trust

then yes...
Your SEO is scary.

316 Strategy Group builds SEO that is LLM friendly, human first, and built for the future of search. Nothing spooky about that.

Happy Halloween.
Let the ghosts stay in haunted houses, not your SERPs.

Sometimes the best part of a shoot is the laughter between the shots.

Tamara stopped by our office for a quick photo session, and we couldn’t help but have a little fun while capturing her confidence and energy. That’s what happens when creativity meets comfort: great work and genuine smiles.

Almost 10 Years Later.

In 2016, a 14-year-old named Isaac Sherril walked into our office and completely blew our minds. He didn’t come asking for free advice; he offered to pay for it. Even back then, he understood the value of time, mentorship, and learning. Something many still fail to understand today.

We posted in December of 2016 that this young man was going places. We weren’t wrong.

Fast forward almost a decade, and Isaac just stopped by to reconnect. He’s now launched his own AI company and came back to “pay down the debt of ignorance,” as he put it.

Young men like Isaac give us hope for the future.

A bold new look for Omaha Food Magazine.

Over the last six months, our team at 316 Strategy Group worked alongside Omaha Food Magazine to help shape the next chapter of their brand. We studied magazine design, color psychology, and the ever-evolving foodie community. We met regularly with their team and even spent a half day off-site to better understand where they’re headed over the next 3–5 years and how a rebrand could help tell that story.

The result? A refreshed identity that reflects who they’ve become after 15 years of covering Omaha’s food scene.

We’ll share a full article soon that dives into the creative process behind the rebrand. If you’re a business owner, it’s one worth reading because sometimes, all a brand needs is the right jump start.

After 15 years of telling Omaha’s food stories, Omaha Food Magazine unveils a bold new rebrand designed by 316 Strategy Group.

1,000,000 Websites Report Outages This Morning

If your website or restaurant relies on Amazon Web Services (AWS), you may have experienced disruptions this morning as a widespread outage impacted more than one million users across the United States.

Here’s what happened during the mass internet outage linked to AWS:

• Overnight, reports of widespread disruptions across apps and online platforms began to surface. AWS confirmed “significant error rates for requests” in a statement issued at 1:26 a.m. ET.

• The outage affected access to banking apps, gaming platforms, and social media accounts. Even Amazon-connected smart home devices went offline.

• Several companies addressed the issue publicly. Coinbase reassured users that “all funds are safe,” while AI company Perplexity confirmed downtime, citing AWS as the cause and promising quick resolution.

• AWS provided real-time updates on its status page, stating just after 2 a.m. ET that it had identified the root cause and was working on “multiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery.”

• Major platforms like Flickr, PlayStation, and Amazon itself displayed ‘Error 404’ pages. Users attempting to access banking services from Halifax, Lloyds, and Bank of Scotland were advised to try again later.

• AWS later reported signs of recovery, and a few hours later confirmed it had “fully mitigated” the issue. Some systems still experienced slight delays, but most services had resumed normal operations.

• Technology analyst Lance Ulanoff told CNN that AWS “sits in the middle of everything,” explaining that many smart devices require “constant connectivity,” and when that link is lost, they simply stop working.

While AWS has not yet shared details on the root cause, most affected systems appear to be stabilizing as of this morning.
