Draper, Utah full-service agency with dentist, periodontist and multi-location dental pages
About Soda Spoon Marketing Agency
Soda Spoon Marketing is a full-service digital agency at 13894 S Bangerter Parkway in Draper, Utah. Richard Ricketts is CEO and President. Jordan Erskine is co-founder and director of business development. The name comes from a founder's grandmother, who kept a spoon in her soda to stop it going flat. It was founded in 2022 (some listings say 2003 or 2012). It has offices in Salt Lake City, St. George and Miami, has announced an expansion into Akron, Ohio, and has bought GOBO Agency in Salt Lake City.
Their healthcare work has separate programmes for dentists, periodontists and multi-location dental groups. The dentist programme covers branding around a dentist's training and patient comfort. It also covers websites with treatment descriptions, virtual tours and online booking, and local SEO through listing optimization, area-targeted content and local reviews. Other items include educational blogs and videos, reputation management, social media, help adding tele-dentistry platforms, patient and traffic analytics, and marketing that follows healthcare advertising rules. The multi-location programme adds a unified brand, SEO for each location, central handling of patient enquiries, one booking system, campaigns for each site's specialty, and a shared analytics dashboard.
The agency holds partner status with Google, Facebook, Instagram, Semrush, Shopify, Webflow and Yelp. In January 2023 it became Utah's first Yelp Advertising Partner. It was also the top-ranked Semrush Certified Agency Partner in Utah for 2023. Onboarding is quick. A confirmation email brings a scheduling link, and within one to three days the client has a kickoff video call with a senior account executive and the CEO. Communication then moves to the Pumble chat app. The first week covers account setup, strategy, creative mockups and, for most clients, live campaigns. Logos and brand files help but are not required to start.
The healthcare case studies are Google Ads results. One account produced about $149,320 in sales from roughly $35,637 in ad spend over 30 days, a 4.19x return. Another month ran at 3.94x ROAS, and a third account grew 153 percent, from $59K to $143K. None of these clients is identified as a dental practice. Their single review on The Manifest comes from Ceramic Pro Utah, which valued having one account manager while it opened two new locations. Also, 90 percent of their clients are small businesses.
They explain pricing models rather than set fees. They offer retainers, project fees, hourly consulting and performance-based deals. SEO for small and mid-sized firms costs a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month. Clients receive detailed proposals and regular updates on spending, and a first strategy session is free. Because no dental client is named, a practice should ask for dental references before signing.
