WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

We have 28 years of SEO experience waiting for you.

We are arguably the oldest and most experienced Abbotsford SEO Company and Digital Marketing Agency serving businesses throughout BC and Canada. At the time of opening for business in 1997, SEO was in its very early days where results were near instant – one small keyword change on your website, a quick browser refresh, and you could see immediate results.

We don’t chase quick wins or rely on gimmicks. Instead, we focus on long-term, stable SEO strategies that help Abbotsford businesses rank higher, attract the right customers, and grow sustainably. Whether you’re a small business, professional service, or e-commerce brand, we help you get more visibility where it matters most—both in your backyard and across Canada.

We believe in earning your trust, not locking you in. While we ask for approval to start your SEO or web design project, you’re never tied to a long-term contract. Our 30-day exit clause gives you full control, but most of our clients stay for years because we consistently deliver results that help their businesses grow.

We know Abbotsford because we live and work here. Unlike SEO agencies overseas, we understand the local market, industry trends, and the unique challenges of running a business in the Fraser Valley. Many of our clients come to us after frustrating experiences with out-of-country providers—only to be blown away by the difference of working with a local team that truly cares.

SEO and digital marketing shouldn’t feel like a black hole of uncertainty. We keep our Abbotsford clients in the loop with personalized reports, regular check-ins, and honest conversations about what’s working and where we can improve. Whether you want a quick update or a deep dive into analytics, we’re here to help you understand your online growth every step of the way.

LOCATION

Born & Raised in
Abbotsford

1st on the List has proudly been rooted in Abbotsford, BC, since our establishment in 1997. What started in the basement of our founder, Chris Genge, quickly grew into a thriving business. With early success, we outgrew that space and moved to South Fraser Way (in what is now the Panago Headquarters building) before relocating across the road to the Ambassador building for many years.

In 2021, we transitioned to a fully remote team, allowing several of our staff to move across BC while continuing to provide top-tier service. This shift also enabled us to bring on talented individuals from across British Columbia, expanding our expertise and capabilities.

While our office structure has changed, our commitment to our clients and the Fraser Valley community remains as strong as ever. Whether through volunteering, sponsorships, or partnerships, we continue to actively contribute to the region’s growth and well-being—all while achieving a better work-life balance for our team.
