About the Client

A Denver Firm With National-Caliber Expertise

Nares Law Group, founded by Kaitlin Nares, is a Denver-based plaintiff personal injury firm with a hyper-focused practice in truck wreck and traumatic brain injury (TBI) litigation. Licensed in Colorado, Texas, and New York, the firm also co-counsels nationally on complex trucking and brain injury cases.

Kaitlin authored two industry-defining books, Mother Justice: A Comprehensive Guide to Litigating Commercial Truck Wreck Cases and Mother Justice: A Lawyer's Guide to Understanding Brain Injury Litigation , and is recognized by Super Lawyers, Top 40 Under 40, Top 100, Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and the National TBI Association.

Despite this elite expertise, Nares Law Group was not yet capturing the digital share-of-voice their reputation deserved. That's where DesignFXPro stepped in.

The Challenge

Elite Expertise. Invisible Online.

Nares Law Group had everything a top firm needs , except the digital visibility to match.

Authority Without Visibility

Despite Kaitlin's two books, national speaking engagements, and elite credentials, the firm was ranking page 2–5 for its most important niche terms like "brain injury lawyer Denver" and "truck wreck lawyer Colorado."

Weak Local Footprint

Limited presence in the Google Map Pack across all 6 Colorado service cities. Existing location pages were thin, duplicated, and missing the depth Google rewards for local intent.

Technical SEO Debt

Slow load times, broken canonical tags, inconsistent schema markup, missing internal linking, and 180+ technical errors blocking crawl efficiency and indexation.

Competing with Volume Firms

Up against high-volume Colorado PI firms with massive ad budgets, established backlink profiles, and decades-long brand recognition in Denver.

Underleveraged Content Assets

TBI Master Class, blog posts, and case results pages weren't structured to rank, convert, or feed authority back to core practice area pages.

Inconsistent Case Inquiry Quality

Lead volume was modest, but more importantly, the firm was not consistently attracting the high-value truck and brain injury cases that match their expertise.
