Built to Help Local
Businesses Win Online
We started with a frustration and turned it into a mission. Here's the story behind the agency.
How We Started
The Problem We Couldn't Ignore
It started with a conversation at a local hardware store. The owner — a third-generation tradesman with a loyal customer base and decades of expertise — was losing business to a competitor with half the skill but a polished website and Google presence.
That felt wrong. Not just for him — but for every plumber, contractor, restaurateur, and small business owner across Portland, Oregon City, and the greater metro who built something real with their hands, only to be invisible online.
Thomas+David+Jacob was founded to close that gap. We believe that in 2026, digital presence is not a luxury — it's the difference between a thriving business and a struggling one. And every business deserves a fighting chance.
We're not a faceless agency. We're a small, dedicated team rooted in Oregon City and serving clients across Portland, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Milwaukie, and statewide — because your success is the only metric we care about.
Our Belief
“Every great local business deserves to be found by the customers looking for exactly what they offer.”
This isn't just a tagline. It's the filter through which we evaluate every project, every strategy, and every decision we make for our clients.

Our Journey
Milestones
From a single conversation to a nationwide agency — here's how we got here.
Founded in Oregon City
Thomas+David+Jacob was born out of frustration — watching great local businesses get buried online while inferior competitors ranked above them. We started with one mission: fix that.
First 10 Clients
Word spread fast. Our first clients saw measurable results within 90 days — increased rankings, more calls, more foot traffic. We grew entirely through referrals.
SEO Division Launch
We formalized our SEO methodology into a repeatable, data-driven process after proving results across a dozen industries. The playbook still works today.
Marketing & Sales Arm Added
Great websites and rankings weren't enough for some clients. We expanded into paid advertising, email marketing, and full-funnel sales strategies to close the loop.
A Growing Client Roster
From solo contractors to multi-location businesses, our client base has grown steadily across Oregon and beyond — each one receiving the same dedicated, hands-on attention.
Expanding Nationwide
Our remote-first model means geography is no longer a barrier. We now serve clients coast-to-coast while staying true to the small-business roots that built us.
How We Think
Our Approach
Three principles that guide every project we take on.
Design-First Thinking
We believe great design isn't decoration — it's strategy. Every visual decision we make is rooted in how it affects user behavior, trust, and conversion. We don't build pretty pages. We build pages that work.
Deep Market Research
Before we write a single line of code or publish a single piece of content, we study your market. Who are your competitors? What are customers searching for? Where is the opportunity? Research is the foundation of everything we build.
Results Over Vanity Metrics
We don't celebrate page views. We celebrate phone calls, form fills, sales, and revenue growth. Every strategy we execute is tied to a business outcome you can measure in your bank account.
