The Surrey market

Surrey is one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities, with a young population, lots of new construction and a large Punjabi-speaking community. Costs per click are often lower than in Vancouver proper, which makes it a strong standalone market.

Surrey is growing fast, and renovation, real estate, trucking-related and home service searches are competitive, though usually cheaper than Vancouver.

Marketing in Surrey

The right marketing mix for Surrey

Surrey’s lower click costs make Google Search a good-value core channel, and Local Services Ads work well for eligible trades. Facebook and Instagram matter more here than in many cities because recommendations spread through community networks. The best Surrey plans run English and Punjabi campaigns side by side and measure them separately.

Rain drives the calendar in the Fraser Valley. Roofing, gutters and drainage peak from October, while landscaping, fencing and decks peak in spring and summer. We plan budgets by season and keep Surrey separate from Langley, Delta and White Rock so you can see where each dollar performs.

Two-language plan

English and Punjabi campaigns on Google and Meta, each with its own budget.

Community reviews

Google reviews from local customers support every channel.

Fraser Valley seasons

Rain-season and dry-season budgets instead of a flat year.

British Columbia rules

Marketing rules for Surrey businesses

Every channel, from Google Ads to Facebook and your landing pages, has to follow British Columbia’s licensing, language and privacy rules.

  • Electrical and gas contractors are licensed by Technical Safety BC, and residential builders by BC Housing’s licensing service.
  • BC’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) covers how private businesses collect and use personal data, including lead forms and tracking.
  • Consumer Protection BC oversees consumer contracts and some licensed industries, so offers and pricing in ads must match what customers are charged.
  • Lawyers follow the Law Society of BC’s marketing rules, and health professionals follow their college’s advertising standards.
  • Follow-up emails and texts to new leads fall under Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL), whichever channel the lead came from.

General guidance, not legal advice. Your regulator’s current rules always apply.
