LYFE Marketing Review (2026): Services, Proof and Score

LYFE Marketing is a social media and digital marketing agency in Atlanta. Brothers Sean and Sherman Standberry and their friend Keran Smith started it as Georgia State University students in December 2011. A November 2014 Hypepotamus profile counted seven employees at the time. Sean Standberry is CEO, Sherman Standberry is COO, and Keran Smith is CMO. The company now claims more than 60 staff and more than 5,135 businesses served. Clutch lists 10 to 49 employees. LYFE sells social media management and ads, short video, Google and Amazon PPC, email and SMS, SEO, and web design. Its stated mission is helping small businesses grow.

LYFE publishes 108 portfolio entries, and many name the client and give numbers. Envelope Superstore, a client from June 2018, is credited with 226 first-page rankings and $1,590,268.08 in revenue from five keywords. Indique Hair, a 2018 client, is credited with 5,890 conversions and $507,514.76 in revenue on $79,472.35 in ad spend. A Hilton entry covering three hotels reports a 30,740% rise in followers. None of these pages states a measurement window, and some figures conflict, such as an Indique headline that says almost $600,000. All are self-reported. LYFE holds 161 Clutch reviews averaging 4.4, including several rated 1.5 or lower from 2022 to 2026.

Each client gets a personal account manager once the campaign starts, according to LYFE's pricing page. The site names no account leads and does not say whether the founders work on client accounts. LYFE publishes no onboarding timeline. Its About page lists a four-step process: discovery and strategy, channel selection, execution, and reporting. Prices are public. Social media management costs $750, $1,350, or $1,550 a month plus a $300 setup fee, and LYFE suggests at least $150 a month in ad spend. Some Clutch reviewers describe slow responses, including an account manager who did not respond on Black Friday.

We found no AI search or GEO service on LYFE's site. Its service menu covers social media, paid ads, email, short video, SEO, and web design. No page we checked mentions ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews. The site shows no tracking of how often clients appear in AI answers, and no case study reports AI visibility. Its SEO results focus on first-page rankings and organic revenue, such as the Envelope Superstore figures. A buyer who wants to be named in AI answers should ask LYFE for its method in writing before signing.

The main gaps are dated proof, AI search, and mixed client feedback. Results lack measurement windows, and the 4.4 Clutch average sits beside low ratings that cite poor communication and spend with no return. LYFE reports more than 5,135 businesses served with a team of about 60. Before signing, ask who will run your account and how often you will hear from them. Ask about the contract term and cancellation notice, which results in your industry come with dates, and how LYFE will report sales and leads, not just followers.
