Why Are They So Worried About TrustLayer? A Competitor’s Guide to Free Marketing

The Best "TrustLayer Alternative" Might Just Be... TrustLayer

So, you’ve searched "TrustLayer alternatives," and now you’re here, reading this. This means one of two things:
‍

You’re genuinely looking for a COI tracking solution and have found yourself wading through a swamp of competitors trying to convince you they’re just as good as us.

You’re one of our competitors, which is all feeling a little… personal.

Either way, welcome. Let’s talk about the fascinating paradox of "TrustLayer alternatives."

‍

Reverse-Engineering the Irony: Why We’re Writing About Them Writing About Us

Now, if one were feeling particularly pedantic, one could argue that this article's very existence undermines its own premise. In writing about our competitors writing about us, we are, in some roundabout, ouroboros-esque way, proving their strategy correct.
‍

By acknowledging them, we are giving them the very attention we claim they don’t deserve.
And if you are currently making this argument in your head, congratulations. You’ve unlocked the self-referential irony that makes this entire SEO arms race so fascinating.
‍

Because here’s the thing: it’s different when we do it.
‍

See, the reason we don’t spend our marketing budget running Jones alternatives or BCS vs. TrustLayer campaigns isn’t because we don’t notice them. It’s because we don’t need to. Their entire SEO strategy hinges on capturing potential TrustLayer users before they actually… you know… find TrustLayer.
‍

It’s like standing outside a packed nightclub and trying to convince people in line that your basement bar across the street is “just as good.” The effort is the tell. The mimicry is the admission.
‍

When TrustLayer writes about its so-called alternatives, we do so from a place of leadership, not defense. If this were chess, they’d be the ones reacting, adjusting their moves based on ours. We’d be the ones playing the board.
‍

So no, we’re not “just as bad” for pointing it out. We’re simply doing what leaders do—defining the space, setting the record straight, and making it clear who actually owns this industry.
‍

If anything, we’re handing them free exposure.
‍

You’re welcome.

The Competitor Playbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing About TrustLayer

For those in the "TrustLayer alternatives" game (hey there, Jones, BCS, myCOI), here’s your strategy, reverse-engineered for transparency:
‍

Step 1: Talk About TrustLayer... A Lot.

It’s SEO’s version of name-dropping at a party.

‍

Step 2: Try to Rank for "TrustLayer Alternatives."

Nothing says "trust us!" quite like actively targeting people who were already searching for something else.

‍

Step 3: Make Claims That Sound Scary (But Aren’t True).

Because, let’s face it, writing "We don’t have TrustLayer’s features, but we’re trying our best!" isn’t great for conversions.

‍

Step 4: Hope That Customers Don’t Compare the Products Themselves.

Fingers crossed that prospects don’t actually look at what TrustLayer offers and realize:
‍

Best-in-class automation (because nobody wants to process thousands of COIs manually).

Deep integrations with platforms like Procore, QuickBooks, and many more.

Unparalleled customer support (because compliance isn’t just about software—it’s about trust).

And, most importantly:
‍

A product that works better.

What Are They Trying to Hide?

Let’s take a quick detour into The Psychology of Competitive Obsession. If you are:
‍

Writing multiple articles about a competitor rather than your product.

Actively trying to redefine yourself in relation to them.

Running ads that try to catch users before they find what they were actually looking for.

…then the underlying message is not "We’re confident in our product." It’s, "We really, really hope you don’t notice the gaps in our own offering."

Imagine Google running a campaign called “Why We’re Not Bing.” You’d do a double take. You’d wonder if something had gone terribly wrong in Mountain View.

Because when you're the market leader, you don't chase shadows. You let others do the name-dropping.

The silence isn’t passive—it's strategic.

Its power is wielded quietly.

And yet, here we are.
