Our Approach to Local SEO: Optimizing for Buffalo CustomersOur Approach to Local SEO: Optimizing for Buffalo Customers

At Pearl Lemon, we customize every project around our client’s specific goals. But the question we always ask first is: who are your ideal local customers? Understanding your target demographic and where they live, work, and search is the key to unlocking local SEO success in the Buffalo metro.

With this buyer persona foundation, we architect cohesive digital strategies to help you stand out online among local competitors. Signature Pearl Lemon tactics include:

Keyword Research & Optimization – Identifying high-potential search queries and optimizing website content to improve organic rankings. For a Buffalo burger spot we would target searches like [best buffalo burgers], [buffalo burger restaurant], [burger near me].

Citation Building – Creating or updating NAP (name, address, phone number) listings on 50+ local directories to strengthen trust and authority signals. Common platforms include Google My Business, Yelp, CitySearch and niche industry sites.

Review Management – Proactively generating positive customer reviews while addressing any negatives that arise. Ratings and reviews factor heavily into local SEO and visibility on results pages.

On-page Optimization – Ensuring website pages follow technical best practices for site architecture, site speed, responsive mobile design, schema markup and more. This helps search engines better index and understand your content.

Link Building – Securing high-quality backlinks from relevant local websites to signal authority and popularity to Google and Bing. For our burger client we would identify trusted sites like community publications or local food bloggers for earning natural links.

We supplement tried-and-true tactics with the latest innovations like automation tools, structured data, site analytics and more. Our strategies also align with Google’s yearly algorithm updates for maximum and lasting impact.

Tailored PPC Campaigns for Buffalo Businesses

SEO delivers results over an extended timeframe by improving organic visibility. To generate more immediate leads and customers from Buffalo searchers, Pearl Lemon also specializes in tailored Pay Per Click (PPC) solutions.

The basics of PPC are simple – your ads appear at the top and side of Google search results when users enter relevant keywords. You only pay when someone actually clicks your ad to visit your site or call your business. The power comes from optimizing every aspect of your campaign for conversions and return on ad spend (ROAS).

To excel on Google Ads for local audiences, Pearl Lemon adheres to proven best practices:

Geo-Targeting – We laser focus paid search campaigns to reach customers specifically searching in the Buffalo designated market area (DMA). This avoids wasted spend from irrelevant clicks.

Dynamic Keyword Insertion (DKI) – Automatically displaying a user’s search query in your ad copy (Ex. [best buffalo burgers]) makes ads more relevant. DKI helps connect searcher intent with your offerings.

Expanded Text Ads – We utilize Google’s updated ad format that allows for longer headlines and descriptions that can improve click-through-rates (CTR) by 12-15%, according to internal Pearl Lemon data.

Responsive Display Ads – Creating multiple variations of display ads for different placements that automatically showcase your products or services to align with a user’s browsing context.

Site Link Extensions – Adding quick site links directly below your PPC ads enables high-relevancy landing pages to match unique searcher needs (Ex. menus, contact page, online ordering)

But this just scratches the surface of our modern Buffalo-focused paid search solutions. We also architect cross-channel journeys leveraging:

Shopping ads to promote ecommerce products
Call-only ads for service businesses like plumbers or lawyers
App download ads targeted locally on iOS and Android
Location extensions and callouts featuring your address
Support for voice search on Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant
Retargeting campaigns via the Google Display Network

With constant changes to ad formats, bidding algorithms and tracking capabilities, keeping your paid search strategy ahead of the curve is challenging.
