Give AI a page worth citing
1/6 captured citations came from nalgene.com. Right now AI still leans on hydroflask.com for category proof.
Create pages AI can remember
Nalgene is not yet stable AI memory. Add comparison pages, clear category explainers, and reusable trust assets that models can come back to.
Add explicit crawler guidance
Right now there is no explicit retrieval guidance for AI crawlers. Add llms.txt plus clearer category and product paths that models can trust and revisit.
The brand is visible. The opportunity is owning the proof layer.
