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. We promise consistent effort, and that effort has helped clients grow their teams, sign long-term leases and continue working with Thencan Designs well beyond a month.

We Invest in People

Thencan Designs invests in people by paying livable wages and building careers instead of revolving doors. Clients get 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. Our 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. We do not specialize in AI, advertising, or social media. 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 business gets a better website or not. The right web design partner can help your business appear above those competitors and generate the steady leads it deserves.

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.

Thencan Designs answers common questions about its website ownership, industries, process, platforms, packages, and SEO upgrades.

Are you sick of working with digital marketing agencies that forget about you after you sign a contract? Thencan Designs operates differently. We focus on generating real results for our clients.

Clients own the websites that Thencan Designs builds after they pay for them in full. Many agencies use monthly website plans that require clients to rent their websites instead of owning them. Thencan Designs does not follow that model.

The payment arrangement works like financing the website over one year. The client receives 100% ownership at the end of the year after completing the payments. Thencan Designs also gives clients administrative access and ensures that each client owns the completed website.

Thencan Designs specializes in local SEO and website design for small businesses that serve local customers. These clients are typically service-based businesses.

Thencan Designs can build websites for businesses across many service industries. We may not be the right fit when:

  • The business sells hundreds of products through its website.
  • The business maintains an inventory that changes regularly.
  • The business needs a complicated ecommerce website.

 

Thencan Designs makes exceptions for some businesses that sell a limited number of products. Its referral partners can help businesses that require larger ecommerce websites.

Thencan Designs may also not be the best fit when:

  • The business targets a national audience. Thencan Designs specializes in helping clients attract customers locally.
  • The business lacks a clear direction for the next year. The Starter website package may suit a new business that has a clear direction for the coming year.
  • The business requires an overly complicated website. Thencan Designs may still be able to help, but its standard packages may not provide the right fit. The business can submit a contact form to discuss the project.

Clients get started by completing the Thencan Designs contact form. The form allows prospective clients to explain what they need. The Thencan Designs team then contacts the prospective client and explains how we can help.

Clients can see more of Thencan Designs’ work in its online portfolio.

 

Thencan Designs works with websites in Squarespace or Wix on a limited basis. We specialize in WordPress websites because WordPress provides greater flexibility and control for local SEO. It can still make limited updates and SEO improvements to websites built with Wix or Squarespace.

WordPress typically provides the best fit for ongoing SEO work and more complex optimization. Thencan Designs recommends WordPress when the platform can meaningfully improve results.

Thencan Designs website package includes the pages and features that most small businesses need. The Proven Winner package includes, but is not limited to:

  • Homepage
  • About page
  • Contact page
  • Wildcard page, depending on the industry
  • Individual service pages for each service

 

The wildcard page may function as a Projects page, FAQ page, or another relevant page.

The individual service pages explain why Thencan Designs describes the package as a five(ish)-page build. The final number of pages depends on the needs of the business. Additional pages may provide value, but The Proven Winner package gives most businesses a strong next step. Clients who need more content after generating steady demand can move to the SEO TLC Plan.

Clients can upgrade to the Thencan Designs SEO plan at any time. The Thencan Designs team can discuss the next stage when the client is ready to level up.
