Atlanta social media agency with published monthly packages for dental practices
About LYFE Marketing
LYFE Marketing is an Atlanta agency that grew out of social media management. Brothers Sean Standberry (CEO) and Sherman Standberry (COO, a CPA) started it in December 2011 with their friend Keran Smith (CMO). All three are from Stone Mountain, Georgia. They began in a Georgia State University dorm room with no outside investors. In the first year they sent more than 1,000 proposals and won a single client, then turned that client's two-week trial into a year-long contract. The company now has more than 60 staff, in the 50 to 249 band.
Its services include organic and paid social, short-form video, Google Ads, email and SMS marketing, and website design. The company has worked with more than 5,135 small businesses. It is a Meta Business Partner, a Google Partner and a Semrush certified agency. It placed 299th on the Inc. 5000 with 1,501 percent growth, has made the list three years in a row, and ranked 61st among the Atlanta Pacesetter companies.
The dental marketing service focuses on patient acquisition through social and paid channels, not organic SEO. It covers social profile management with daily engagement and reputation monitoring, and ads promoting offers, testimonials and patient portals. Search ads reach people looking for a dentist, and display retargeting follows past site visitors. Email newsletters cover open appointments, accepted insurance and new technology, with automated appointment reminders. Short videos include dental tips, virtual office tours and staff introductions. Dental digital marketing costs roughly USD 500 to 1,400 or more a month.
A separate social media service for dentists has fixed plans. The Good plan costs USD 750 a month for 12 Facebook and Instagram image posts. The Better plan costs USD 1,350 for 12 vertical videos across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Reels. The Best plan costs USD 1,550 for 20 videos. Each extra network is USD 150. Every plan includes an account manager, up to ten community replies a day, a monthly report and optional calls. There is no setup fee. Content is drafted with HIPAA in mind and approved by the practice before it goes live, and ad creative is A/B tested.
They have no named dental client or dental results. Their case studies come from retail and ecommerce. One Google Ads account returned about USD 198,900 in purchases on USD 15,600 of spend, and one Facebook programme reached a 13.01 annual return on ad spend. Reviewers on Semrush and Clutch often mention responsive account managers and fast turnaround. A minority of reviewers mention missed deadlines or weak results, and one said AI-written posts misdescribed their product.
This makes LYFE a practical choice for a practice that mainly wants social content, community replies and paid social at a known monthly price. Practices that need deep local SEO work should confirm what is included before signing.
