We never promise #1 rankings. We promise consistent effort. That effort has helped clients grow their teams, sign long-term leases, and stick with us well beyond month 12.
We pay livable wages to build careers, not revolving doors. With us, you’ll always get direct access to people who know your business.
Most requests get a response within hours and fixes within a day. We’ve invested heavily to create systems that prevent mistakes. But we’re humans, and If something slips, we own it, fix it, and learn.
We specialize in local SEO. Not AI, not ads, not social media. We won’t upsell you, we just provide SEO strategy and done-for-you local services that work.
Your competitors will keep showing up on Google whether get a better website or not. The difference is, with the right partner, you can start showing up above them and finally get the steady leads your business deserves.

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

Sick of working with digital marketing agencies that forget about you after you’ve signed a contract? We’re different. We’re a lean agency that’s laser-focused on getting you real results.
You may not know this, but many agencies that have “monthly website plans” are actually only having you rent the site – we don’t like that!
Think about it like you are financing the site over the year. As long as you pay for the site in full, the site is 100% yours at the end of the year. We always try to make it easy for you to have administrative access and ensure you are the owner of the website.
We specialize in doing local SEO for small businesses that serve local customers. That includes building websites. Typically, these are “service-based businesses.”
When it comes to websites, we can almost guarantee that we can build a website for your business. Unless:
You sell products on your website (we make exceptions for a few products, but if it’s hundreds, or your inventory changes regularly, let us know, we have referral partners). That’s pretty much it 😉
We may not be the best fit for your business if:
Fill out our contact form and tell us a bit about what you’re looking for. We’ll get in touch and let you know how we can help.
Yes! Take a look at our portfolio here.
While we specialize in WordPress websites because they offer the most flexibility and control for local SEO, we can make limited updates and SEO improvements on sites built with Wix or Squarespace.
For ongoing SEO work or more complex optimization, WordPress is typically the best fit, and we’ll recommend it when it will meaningfully improve results.
We’ve learned that The Proven Winner package includes everything most small businesses need. This includes (but is not limited to):
– Homepage
– About page
– Contact page
– Wildcard page (this is dependent on industry and can be a Projects, FAQs, or other page)
– Individual service pages for each one of your services
That last bullet point is why we say five(ish) page build. It really depends on what your business needs. There are certainly other pages that could be built, but we find this is a great next step for most businesses, and if more content is needed (and clients are already banging on your door), we’re usually both happy to bump up to our SEO TLC Plan.
Absolutely! You can upgrade at any point. Just let us know when you’re ready to level up and we’ll discuss what that looks like at that point.
Thencan is dedicated to providing personalized services, focusing on the unique needs of each client. We partner with our clients to create lasting relationships and ensure their online success.
