The Problem With Most
SEO Agencies
Most SEO agencies create problems through slow results, frequent staff turnover, delayed updates and cookie-cutter marketing.
“SEO Takes Time”… but
Results Never Come
Some SEO agencies tell remodelers that SEO takes time but never produce meaningful results. They ask clients to “trust the process,” but those clients may still have underwhelming results after 12 months.
New Project Manager.
Again.
Frequent project manager changes force remodelers to explain their businesses repeatedly. A client may receive three different main contacts in one year, and each transition can cost the campaign months of progress.
Simple Updates
Take Forever
Simple website updates can take weeks when an SEO agency relies on slow support systems. A quick website change may become a forgotten support ticket and leave the remodeler questioning who controls the website.
Cookie-Cutter Marketing
That Burns Cash
Cookie-cutter marketing wastes money by applying the same strategy to different remodeling businesses. Some agencies upsell overpriced advertising campaigns, while some “niched-down” agencies push templated strategies that require clients to spend more while the agency does less.
SEO Company Built for Home Remodelers
Thencan was Built Differently
to Serve your Business Better
Our Focus is Real Growth,
Not Vanity Metrics
Thencan Designs focuses on real business growth instead of vanity metrics. We never promise #1 rankings. Our promise is consistent effort, and that effort has helped clients grow their teams, sign long-term leases, and continue working with Thencan Designs well beyond month 12.
Thencan Designs Invests in People
Thencan Designs invests in people by paying livable wages and building careers instead of revolving doors. Our clients receive direct access to team members who understand their businesses.
We Fix Things Fast and Own Our (Infrequent) Mistakes
Thencan Designs fixes problems quickly and takes responsibility for its infrequent mistakes. The team responds to most requests within hours and completes most fixes within a day. We invested heavily in systems that prevent mistakes. If a problem slips through those systems, the team owns it, fixes it, and learns from it.
We Do One Thing
and We Do It Well
Thencan Designs specializes in local SEO instead of advertising or social media. That specialization helps us rank highly when people search for “SEO near me.” We do not upsell clients. We provide SEO strategy and done-for-you local SEO services that work.
Your competitors will continue appearing on Google whether your remodeling business invests in SEO or not. The right SEO partner can help your business appear above those competitors and generate the steady leads it deserves.
Our Proven SEO Framework
Our Proven SEO Framework gives home remodelers a systematic process for improving local search visibility. Thencan Designs has used this approach to deliver results for dozens of service businesses. We use data instead of “Guess-E-O.”

The Strategy Sprint = The Blueprint
The Strategy Sprint creates the blueprint for the complete local SEO campaign. Thencan Designs uses the first month to collect data and establish the direction of the campaign instead of making decisions without research.
The Strategy Sprint includes:
- Researching exactly what people search for within the remodeling industry
- Auditing and optimizing the client’s Google Business Profile for quick wins
- Cleaning up the website’s technical elements when necessary
At the end of the first month:
Remodeler receives a complete strategy document. Thencan Designs reviews the document with the client to ensure that the SEO goals align with the business goals.

The Build Phase = A Solid Foundation
The Build Phase creates a solid SEO foundation after the client approves the strategy. Thencan Designs creates or reworks website pages to reflect what the remodeler’s customers search for. These pages become money pages because they generate revenue from search.
A strong initial foundation requires the heavy work that other agencies may skip or complete only partially. Thencan Designs builds that foundation correctly and avoids tactics that do not work.
In the build phase we focus on:
- Service and location page optimization
- Content creation aligned with your keyword strategy
- On-page SEO implementation

The Care Phase = Your Growth Engine
The Care Phase turns an established SEO foundation into a long-term growth engine. SEO requires ongoing work instead of a “set it and forget it” approach. Thencan Designs builds the authority that helps a remodeling business rank higher over time. We also identify new opportunities as the client’s business grows and AI search evolves.
A solid initial foundation supports this ongoing authority work. Thencan Designs builds that foundation correctly and avoids tactics that do not work.
Key to ranking higher over time:
- Ongoing backlink and citation building
- Continuous GBP posts and review coaching
- Long-term strategy refinement and support
You don’t want to keep switching SEO agencies. Our goal is to stay in your corner long-term by helping you rank higher, generate more leads, and adapt to every new opportunity that comes your way.

Recognition
Thencan is a recognized web design and SEO company located in Bend, Oregon serving clients all over the US and Canada.

Hi I'm Sam!
You probably started your business to have more freedom in your life. Me too. You care about your clients, do great work, and that’s exactly why you’ve been successful. But now you’re buried in the day-to-day, overworked, and hiring more help isn’t in the cards.
That’s why I started Thencan. I wanted to help contractors who do great work, to level up their businesses. Our clients have grown their teams, opened new locations, signed long-term leases, and, even taken real time off. I’m talking about vacations with family, camping off-grid, and doing so without everything falling apart in their absence.
We can’t build your internal systems for you, but we can help you bring in the business that gives you the breathing room to do it. Maybe you’ve tried SEO before and got burned… I hate that. But read our dozens of 5-star reviews or watch a few of our 100+ YouTube videos, and you’ll quickly see how much we care about this work.
I built a team that shares a passion for doing SEO well, and we’re here to help you rank higher, book more jobs, and take that big step back.

Have Questions?
Get Answers:
Thencan Designs answers common questions about SEO for cleaning companies, timelines, keywords, recurring customers, and Google Business Profile optimization.
Why does a cleaning company need SEO?
A cleaning company needs SEO because local customers use search engines to find the services it provides. SEO can generate residential inquiries, recurring cleaning customers, commercial opportunities, and greater visibility without making the company entirely dependent on paid advertising.
How long does SEO take for a cleaning company?
SEO for a cleaning company can take 3-6 months to produce noticeable improvements. Meaningful growth usually requires consistent work over time. The company’s market, competition, website quality, current rankings, reviews, content, and Google Business Profile strength affect the timeline.
What keywords should a cleaning company target?
A cleaning company should target keywords that match its services, customers, and locations. Common targets include:
- House cleaning
- Maid service
- Office cleaning
- Commercial cleaning
- Deep cleaning
- Move-out cleaning
- Recurring cleaning
- Service-and-city combinations
Can SEO help me get recurring cleaning customers?
SEO can help a cleaning company get recurring customers by increasing its visibility across nearby markets. Thencan Designs researches local search demand, competition, service coverage, and potential business value before creating a location-page strategy. Each location page should provide useful, locally relevant information instead of duplicated text.
Is Google Business Profile important for cleaning companies?
Google Business Profile is important for cleaning companies because many customers compare local providers directly in Google’s local results. An accurate, optimized, and active profile can improve local visibility while generating more calls, website visits, direction requests, and quote inquiries.
