The Story

From enterprise campaigns
to Elizabethtown.

Before Summit Marketing Group, Jacob spent a decade inside enterprise marketing — running campaigns on Times Square billboards, national radio, Spotify, and TV. He earned an MBA in Marketing & Analytics from the University of Denver and national recognition for SEO excellence along the way.

But the work he was proudest of was small: helping a local business in his hometown get found online for the first time. That's when he realized enterprise-grade SEO strategy — the kind that commands six-figure retainers at big agencies — was almost completely absent from local markets. Small businesses were either paying agencies for cookie-cutter packages, or being ignored entirely.

Summit Marketing Group exists to close that gap. Enterprise strategy. Military-trained execution. Local pricing. Headquartered in Elizabethtown, KY.

How we work with you

What the first 90 days
actually look like.

🔍

Day 1–7: The real audit.

A genuine technical audit of your current search visibility — Google rankings, GBP, AI search presence, site performance. You leave week one knowing exactly where you stand and your top 3 opportunities.

🗺️

Day 8–21: Custom roadmap.

We build a strategy specific to your market, your competition, and your goals. No generic 12-month plan. Quick wins in the first 30 days, compound gains over 90.`

🚀

Day 22–60: Execute in parallel.

GBP optimization, on-page fixes, local citations, AI-search positioning, and content strategy running at once. You focus on running your business — we handle the search layer.

📊

Day 60–90: Measure what matters.

First monthly report lands at day 60. Plain English, revenue-linked metrics, and what's next. Month-to-month — if we're not earning it, you cancel.

Our commitments

What we won't do.

Lock you into a long contract.

Month-to-month only. If we're not earning it, you cancel any month, no penalty, no pro-rated fees.

Hide behind jargon.

Reports in plain English. If we can't explain a metric in one sentence, it's not worth putting in the report.

Pass you to a junior.

Jacob is your contact. Always. No rotating account managers, no handoffs mid-project, no "let me check with my team.

Ship cookie-cutter strategies.

Every engagement starts with a real audit of your actual market. No recycled templates. No generic packages.

Low overhead. Direct access.

No glass conference rooms.
No account manager shuffle.

Summit Marketing Group is intentionally a low-overhead operation. Jacob runs the strategy himself, the delivery himself, and talks to clients himself. That's not a startup growing pain — it's the pricing advantage we pass back to you.

01

Direct line to the founder.

When you call, text, or email — you get Jacob. Not a junior account manager who forwards your question up the chain and back three days later.

02

Your budget goes to the work.

Big agencies charge a premium to cover downtown offices, sales teams, and middle management. Summit doesn't have those — and doesn't charge for them.

03

Decisions happen fast.

No weekly status meeting to surface the change you asked for. Military training plus solo-operation means your SEO moves as fast as your business does.

Your Competitors Aren’t Waiting. Neither Should You.

Book a free 30-minute audit with Summit Marketing Group. We’ll review your online presence live, show you exactly where you’re losing ground to competitors, and tell you precisely what we’d do to fix it — no obligation, no sales pitch, just honest answers from us directly.
