ABOUT SUMMIT MARKETING GROUP LLC
Thought processSEO & AI Search Marketing for Local
Summit Marketing Group is a search marketing consultancy located in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, focused on assisting small businesses throughout Hardin County and central Kentucky. Established by Jacob Thomson, a U.S. Army Major and marketing strategist, SMG applies military-level discipline to SEO, AI search optimization, and local digital marketing. We excel in ensuring small businesses gain visibility where it counts: Google Search, Google Maps, and the AI-driven engines that are transforming how customers find local services. Our main services encompass local SEO, technical SEO, on-page optimization, content strategy, Google Business Profile management, SEO audits, and analytics reporting. What distinguishes us is our emphasis on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)—enhancing businesses for AI search results from platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. As AI evolves the search landscape, many small businesses lack a clear strategy for it; we create that strategy from the outset. Our methodology is systems-focused rather than campaign-based. Each project begins with a thorough audit, progresses to a prioritized strategy, and is executed with measurable results. Clients receive monthly performance reports that provide clear attribution, ensuring they understand what is effective and why. SMG primarily partners with service-oriented businesses, home service contractors, professional firms, and local operators who rely on search visibility to attract leads. We recognize the challenges of small business marketing—restricted budgets, small teams, and the need to avoid wasted spending. We do not bind clients with long-term contracts; our client retention hinges on the results we deliver, not contractual obligations. Every suggestion we make is data-driven, and we support our claims with transparent reporting. If your business aims to reach customers in a specific area and needs to be found online, Summit Marketing Group creates the search framework to facilitate that—today on Google and in the future with AI.

OUR STORY
Jacob, the founder of Summit Marketing Group, brings over ten years of experience in enterprise marketing, having managed high-profile campaigns on platforms like Times Square billboards, national radio, Spotify, and TV. Holding an MBA in Marketing & Analytics from the University of Denver and recognized nationally for SEO expertise, his proudest achievements came from assisting a small local business in his hometown of Elizabethtown to establish an online presence for the first time. This insight revealed a gap: while enterprise-level SEO strategies are costly and tailored for large agencies, local markets often receive generic or no services. Summit Marketing Group was created to bridge this gap by offering sophisticated SEO strategies with disciplined execution at local-market pricing, based in Elizabethtown, KY.
