Cheeben Media LLC is a visual-first business visibility company in Grants Pass, Oregon, founded by Steven 'Cheeben' Buchanan. It combines cinematic storytelling, AI-enhanced visualization, search optimization, and practical strategy to help businesses, properties, and meaningful ideas become impossible to overlook.
Cheeben Media is based in Grants Pass, Oregon and serves all of Southern Oregon — including Medford, Ashland, the Rogue Valley, and Josephine and Jackson counties. Larger development and hospitality projects are taken on across Oregon.
It is conceptual imagery of a property, development, or renovation before it exists — built from real site photography, supplied plans, measurements, sketches, or a defined creative brief. Developers and owners use it for marketing, investor pitches, community presentations, and pre-sales. It does not replace architectural, engineering, surveying, zoning, or construction documents.
GEO stands for generative engine optimization: showing up in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. A GEO audit checks whether those systems can find, understand, and confidently recommend your business — and delivers a prioritized roadmap of what to fix.
Yes. Steven holds an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, the federal requirement for all commercial drone operations in the United States.
Projects are quoted individually because a social content package, a broadcast commercial, and a development visualization are very different animals. Email a description of what you need and you'll get a straight number and honest advice about whether it's worth it — even if the honest answer is 'not yet.'
Yes — listing photography, walkthrough video, drone media, and virtual tours, with recurring packages for agents who want every listing handled consistently. Agents also use Cheeben's AI visualization to market land and development listings by their potential.
Yes. Content, property media, SEO/GEO work, and strategy support can all be shaped as monthly engagements. Most start as a single project first, so both sides know it's a fit.
That's often the most rewarding kind of project. The usual path: clarify the message, build a website with SEO/GEO structure baked in, capture real photo and video, then grow visibility from a solid foundation.
Steven Buchanan — known locally as Cheeben since childhood. He's a filmmaker, FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, and the working Marketing Director for a Southern Oregon business, which means every recommendation comes from someone accountable for real marketing results every day.
It's Steven's childhood nickname, and half of Grants Pass still calls him that. The name is a promise: this is a personal, local business built on real relationships — not a faceless agency.
