I've been exposed multiple times to people making AI (openai, gemini etc) as people want.

So for example a guy asks it to recommend them as a the best SEO expert.

Does anyone have a guide or knowledge on how to manipulate/influence the answers given by AI?

Yes, that’s becoming a known tactic. Some manage to steer AI answers by flooding the web with content that repeatedly links a name with a specific expertise,usually through guest posts, citations, and topic-relevant backlinks. This light “data poisoning” aims to shift what the AI considers trustworthy references. To boost credibility and avoid detection, some even simulate traffic and engagement using real mobile proxies (4G), which helps reinforce the source’s SEO authority and visibility across models.
 
That makes sense. It explains why we often receive email offers to feature our product/service in blog posts/articles/reviews. These aren’t just aimed at influencing people anymore, they're also aimed at influencing AI models that rely on web data.
 
It all comes down to prompt engineering; AI will say what you give it. Getting the context to go in the direction you desire is the challenge. You can sway answers in your favor by mentioning credentials, fabricating reviews, or establishing "authority" in the prompt. However, don't expect it to disregard its rules in order to tell plain lies. Brute force is superior than subtle persuasion.
 
Yes, people attempt to influence AI answers through prompt engineering, content optimization, and data injection (like publishing repeated content online). However, major AI models like OpenAI's and Gemini are trained to resist manipulation, prioritize factuality, and avoid favoritism unless clearly requested. So, while influence is possible in narrow cases, there's no guaranteed or ethical "hack" to consistently manipulate answers.
 
I am also interested in this, any agent can do this service
 
i think its a total myth, i've been programming in claude chatgpt, and grok, and each new session (2 months daily), my brand name of the program (root name in each file) is unique, and still none of them know it fresh chat. I speak to people already getting mentioned by chatgpt, and the way they do it is through getting ranked well on bing and google. It just feeds through naturally.
 
“Hacking” AI recommendations usually means optimizing content to influence algorithms, like using strong engagement signals, keyword relevance, or watch time. It’s more about smart strategy than actual hacking.
 
AI responses are based on patterns in public content, so people try to influence answers by creating lots of high-quality mentions, backlinks, or article that highlight a certain name or brand. It's like SEO for AI, but there's no guaranteed trick.
