Lee Sommers. Founder & Lead Strategist.
I've worked in digital marketing since 2007, with more than 300 clients across healthcare, legal, home services and professional services. I founded Sommers Marketing Group in May 2026 in Northport, New York, and I do the work on every account myself.
Nineteen years in, across a lot of industries.
I started in digital marketing in 2007. Most of those years were spent inside full-service agencies: first as a strategist, then as a co-founder, then running expanded digital operations across multiple verticals.
Healthcare became my deepest specialty: more than 150 medical practices across more than 20 specialties. Alongside that, I've done a lot of work for law firms and other professional services businesses, where reputation and trust drive every new client. Same core problem, different industry: getting found by the right people and giving them a reason to call.
In May 2026 I started Sommers Marketing Group in Northport, on Long Island. The idea was simple: work with fewer clients, and do the strategy and the work myself instead of passing it down a team.

What I do on every account.
There is no account manager at SMG and no handoff after the sales call. The person you talk to first is the person doing the work.
I run the audit and set the baseline
Before anything changes, I look at the website, the Google Business Profile, the reviews and the rankings, and I record where things stand. That baseline is how we both judge the work later.
I write the plan
I decide what gets done first and why, and I explain it in plain language. If I can't explain a recommendation in a paragraph, it isn't ready.
I do the work
Page rebuilds, technical fixes, Google Business Profile upkeep, review generation, schema and tracking. I do it myself rather than queueing it behind someone else's bigger account.
I report on it honestly
You get the numbers against the baseline, including what didn't move. When you call or email, you reach me.
Three areas I know best.
Healthcare marketing
Marketing for medical practices, where trust, reviews and getting the details right matter more than volume.
Local SEO
Ranking in the map pack and on page one for the searches patients and customers make close to home.
Generative engine optimization
Getting a business named and cited when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI answers for a recommendation.
Four case studies, measured and documented.
Each one is work I did myself for a Long Island business, with the numbers and what didn't move.
Local SEO · Podiatry
Page two to the top of page one
A podiatry practice climbed nearly five Google positions in three months and had its best new-patient month in two years.
Local Pack · Reviews
65 Google reviews in 30 days
A healthcare practice added 65 reviews at a 5.0 rating and cut the gap to its local market leader from 471 to 432.
Technical SEO
34 competing pages into 15 stronger ones
Consolidating duplicate pages cut a healthcare practice's unindexed backlog by 55%.
AI Receptionist
1,365 calls in five months
An AI phone receptionist turned two of every three calls into a transfer or a callback.
