The Bail Boys — SoCal's Largest Bail Bonds Company
The Bail Boys was already one of the largest bail bonds companies in Southern California. But bail reform in California was shrinking the entire market. They needed to capture a bigger share of a smaller pie — and their existing agency (Scorpion) wasn't delivering.
GLP Marketing was engaged to take over SEO and PPC with a clear goal: increase total bonds posted by 20% year over year despite a shrinking market.
The Challenge
A Shrinking Market + Underperforming Agency
Bail reform in California caused the bonds market to shrink significantly. The Bail Boys needed to not just maintain — but dramatically grow — in a contracting industry.
- Only 280 organic visitors per month
- Website locked on Scorpion's proprietary CMS
- Market shrinking due to California bail reform
- Existing agency not meeting growth targets
- 5,140 organic visitors per month and growing
- 1,835.7% increase in organic traffic
- On track to post 3X more bonds in 2022
- Dominant search presence across SoCal
