Bath's tourist economy means many businesses need to optimise for both 'near me' local searches and destination searches from people planning visits from further afield. Google Business Profile completeness is critical, tourist decisions are heavily review-driven. Seasonal content strategy matters: Christmas shopping, summer tourism, and Bath's event calendar all create predictable search spikes worth targeting.
