Why Your Competitors Are Winning
(And It's Not What You Think)
Hint: it's not your product, your price, or your ads.

Quick question...
When was the last time you lost a client to a competitor you knowyou're better than?
Not because your offer was worse. Not because your price was wrong.
But because they just looked better.
Today we're going to fix that.
Imagine this...
You're on a sales call. You're good at what you do. You know it. Your past clients know it.
But the person on the other end of that call? They don't know you yet.
And no matter what you say—they know you're biased.
Now imagine opening that same call with:
"Did you hear about us from our recent feature in USA News about how we helped a client with this exact problem?"
Or simply: "Business Insider just featured us as the best in our industry."
You just handed them something no pitch can buy.
Instant credibility.
It's the same reason reviews and testimonials work. Strangers don't believe you. They believe other people talking about you.
A media feature is the most powerful version of that.

The Two-Second Test
Think about the biggest names you know. Experts at the top of their field. Tony Robbins. Dean Graziosi. Marie Forleo.
Go to any of their websites. What do you see?
"As Seen On." "Featured In."
Forbes. Fortune. Inc. New York Times. BBC.
Logos. Front and center. Before anything else.
Now go check Stripe. Slack. Same thing. OpenAI. Amazon. IBM. Paramount.
Logos. Everywhere.
Why?
Because logos pass the two-second test. Within two seconds of landing on a page, a visitor's subconscious has already decided whether they trust you or not.
The biggest personal brands and the biggest companies in the world know this. They don't just tell you they're credible. They show you. Instantly. With logos you already recognize.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
We're in the middle of a trust recession.
- AI-generated content is everywhere
- Fake reviews are everywhere
- People can't tell what's real anymore
Buyers are more skeptical today than they've ever been.
Which means the businesses that can prove they're legitimate in two seconds will win.
And the ones that can't? They'll keep wondering why nobody's buying.
Those logos do in two seconds what your sales pitch can't do in two hours.
They make a stranger believe you.
And It's Not Just People
Google values them too. So does AI.
Every media feature comes with a backlink from a high-authority news site. That's the exact signal Google uses to decide who ranks and who doesn't.

But it goes further than SEO.
AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Gemini are now pulling from third-party sources to decide which businesses to recommend.
When someone asks AI "who's the best [your industry] in [your city],"it's looking for exactly this: credible third-party mentions from recognized outlets.
The logos build trust with people.
The backlinks build trust with Google.
The features build trust with AI.
One media placement. Three layers of credibility working for you 24/7.

Meet Nicolos Abelian

He built a local services company in Los Angeles to $35 million a year.
Not tech. Not crypto. Not some Silicon Valley fairy tale.
A real business. With marketing. Appointment setters. A sales team that sat across from strangers and had to close them face to face.
When he exited, he looked back at every decision he ever made. Every hire. Every campaign. Every dollar spent.
And one thing made a bigger difference than all of them combined:
- →Close rates went from 12.4% to 23.1%
- →Google AdWords ROAS increased from 1.75x to 18.86x
- →Revenue grew 163% within 90 days
Without changing a single ad. Without spending more. Without changing the sales script.
It was getting featured in the media.And putting those "As Seen On" logos on everything.
But getting those features meant dealing with the PR industry. High-pressure sales calls. Five-figure retainers. Months of waiting.
Nic thought that was broken. So he started AnotherZero.
