FUTURE OF SEARCH IS HERE
How AI & SEO Work Together to Grow Your Surrey Business
AI has changed how people search, but it hasn’t replaced SEO. It’s reshaped it. Customers are now turning to tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews for answers and recommendations, often before they ever click a link. That means your business needs to show up
not only in traditional search results, but also within AI-powered summaries and conversations. At 1st on the List, we’ve evolved our approach
to meet this moment. We call it AI-informed SEO: a blend of proven SEO foundations and modern signals that build credibility with both search engines and AI tools. It’s how we help Surrey businesses become the trusted experts AI and people choose first. To learn more, call 1-888-262-6687
Trust and Expertise Signals
AI tools and search engines prioritize trustworthy, verifiable businesses. For Surrey companies, that means showcasing real experience, professional credentials, and consistent information across your website, Google Business Profile, and directories. These credibility signals help AI confidently recommend your business over competitors.
Structured, AI-Readable Content
AI and Google both rely on well-organized, clearly written content to understand who you are and what you offer. Using schema markup, headings, and conversational writing helps your Surrey business get cited accurately in AI summaries and featured in search results.
Reputation and Reviews
AI looks for social proof to determine authority. A strong review profile, accurate location data, and recent customer feedback all reinforce that your business is active and trusted in the community. This makes Surrey businesses with authentic reviews more likely to appear in local and AI-driven recommendations.
Brand Experience
AI may surface your business, but human visitors still decide whether to engage. A fast, mobile-friendly website and content that reflects your brand’s personality turn visibility into real results. For Surrey businesses competing in busy local markets, a great online experience builds loyalty that both AI and customers reward.

Right in the Heart of Business Growth
Thinking of scaling your business in Surrey? Here’s what you need to know.
Surrey is evolving fast. Once largely residential and industrial, it now has a revitalized downtown core, major transit projects, and new business districts emerging across the city. The growth brings exciting opportunities for local businesses to thrive, but it also means visibility matters more than ever in a highly competitive market.
Rapid Population and Urban Growth
Surrey is one of British Columbia’s fastest-growing cities with thousands of new residents arriving every year. Families, professionals, and newcomers are driving new demand for housing, services, and local expertise. Businesses that invest in visibility now are the ones people find first when they search for help nearby.
Diverse and Growing Industries
Surrey’s economy now stretches far beyond its industrial roots, with strong growth in healthcare, education, construction, technology, retail, and clean energy. Businesses that adapt their messaging and SEO to speak to these emerging sectors can reach entirely new audiences.
Strong Business Climate and Competitive Costs
Surrey’s business-friendly taxes, lower operating costs, and access to industrial space make it an attractive place to set up shop. The same advantages that attract opportunity also bring competition, which makes standing out in search results even more important.
Multicultural and Language-Rich Community
Surrey is one of the most diverse cities in Canada, with residents speaking more than 100 languages. Culturally aware content, multilingual keywords, and local customer reviews all help build stronger connections and trust with Surrey’s communities.
Major Infrastructure and Transit Investment
With major projects underway in City Centre, Newton, and along new SkyTrain routes, Surrey is transforming into a connected regional hub. For local businesses, this means new customers, shifting traffic patterns, and the need for SEO strategies that capture searches across multiple neighborhoods.
Trust & Reputation Still Matter Most
Even as Surrey grows, people continue to value reliability and local reputation. Businesses that show up consistently online, earn positive reviews, and communicate clearly are the ones that become trusted community names. Let us show you how.
