The LinkedIn Listicle Trick (FOR AI MENTIONS)

Quick Overview

The speaker demonstrates a trick to get AI tools like ChatGPT to mention specific SEO services (like those from a prior research report) by asking the AI to feature them in a generated listicle or report, which successfully results in the AI citing LinkedIn articles and Verified Market Reports content, confirming the exploit works for leveraging existing search results.

Key Points: The speaker tests a 'Research Report Trick' to force AI like ChatGPT to feature specific SEO service providers in its generated lists. The initial trigger involved asking for a research report trick that gets featured on LLMs, leading to a demonstration of prompting the AI for a list of 'best link building services'. The AI's initial response (01:29) referenced a '65-Point Local SEO Checklist' and listed providers like uSERP, Page One Power, and Siege Media, which the speaker acknowledges as content from previous work. When testing a search for 'Best Link Building Services Provider' (02:40), the AI overview (02:43) cited Indexay, uSERP, Page One Power, Siege Media, and Editorial Link, indicating the AI is pulling from indexed sources. The speaker confirmed the trick worked by showing the AI (03:28) referenced a LinkedIn article about 'Top Waterproof Shoes Companies' and later (05:01) showed the Verified Market Reports homepage when prompted to look up a link from the previous output. A further test on ResearchGate (05:50) revealed a bar chart ranking WP websites, which the speaker notes is highly structured, suggesting the AI is scraping and presenting data from academic/research sources. The speaker concludes by stating he will pin the prompt in the comments (06:41) and encourages viewers to test it, noting that the results seem 'temporary' (07:25).

Context: The video focuses on demonstrating a technique to manipulate large language models (LLMs), specifically ChatGPT, into referencing or featuring specific named entities, in this case, SEO service providers that the creator previously covered in a 'Research Report.' The speaker is testing the effectiveness of this 'trick' by asking the AI to generate lists or reports based on search queries related to link building services, observing whether the AI incorporates content from the previously researched materials or other high-authority sources.
