Short answer

LLM seeding is the practice of placing accurate brand information in sources that AI models cite or learn from, such as review sites, forums, and listicles. The aim is to influence how AI assistants describe and recommend a brand. Effective seeding relies on genuine, credible content rather than manipulation, which platforms may penalize.
