Summit Marketing Group LLC

Summit Marketing Group is a search marketing consultancy based in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, serving small businesses across Hardin County and central Kentucky. Founded by Jacob Thomson — a U.S. Army Major and marketing strategist — SMG brings military-grade discipline to SEO, AI search optimization, and local digital marketing.

We specialize in helping small businesses get found where it matters: Google Search, Google Maps, and the AI-powered answer engines reshaping how customers discover local services. Our core services include local SEO, technical SEO, on-page optimization, content strategy, Google Business Profile management, SEO audits, and analytics reporting.

What sets us apart is our focus on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — optimizing businesses to appear in AI search results from platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. As AI changes how people search, most small businesses have no strategy for it. We build that strategy from day one.

Our approach is systems-driven, not campaign-driven. Every engagement starts with a comprehensive audit, moves into a prioritized strategy, and executes against measurable outcomes. Clients receive monthly performance reports with clear attribution so they always know what is working and why.

SMG works primarily with service-based businesses, home services contractors, professional firms, and local operators who depend on search visibility to generate leads. We understand the realities of small business marketing — limited budgets, lean teams, and zero tolerance for wasted spend.

We do not lock clients into long-term contracts. Our retention comes from results, not fine print. Every recommendation is grounded in data, and every claim we make is backed by transparent reporting.

If your business serves customers in a specific geography and depends on being found online, Summit Marketing Group builds the search infrastructure that makes that happen — today in Google, and tomorrow in AI.
