Thencan Designs Bend Web Design + SEO

Based in Bend, Oregon, this agency works with local service businesses looking to improve their visibility on Google in and around the Bend area. Rather than covering the full spectrum of digital marketing, it concentrates specifically on local SEO and web design, positioning itself as an alternative to larger agencies that bundle in paid ads, social media, and templated strategies. Team size is small (1-10 people), which the agency frames as a benefit: clients get direct access to the people handling their account rather than being passed between rotating project managers. The engagement starts with what the agency calls a "Strategy Sprint," a first-month phase involving keyword research specific to the client's industry, an audit and optimization of the Google Business Profile, and technical cleanup of the client's existing website where needed. This phase concludes with a strategy document reviewed jointly with the client to confirm alignment with business goals. Following approval, the agency moves into a "Build Phase," creating or reworking website pages based on the research findings. Beyond core SEO, the agency also lists services including website maintenance and security, Google Business Profile management, and resources such as an SEO roadmap and DIY SEO guidance for small businesses. Response times for client requests are described as within hours, with fixes typically completed within a day.
