Summary

Heyday Canning Co. has successfully established itself as a top-tier recommendation within Google’s Gemini ecosystem, where it boasts a dominant 57% mention rate and an elite average position of 2.8. Despite this technical edge, the brand faces a critical 'platform rift,' remaining nearly invisible to the millions of users on ChatGPT and Claude who are actively seeking premium pantry alternatives. While Heyday owns the 'vibe check' when searched directly, it is currently failing to convert broad meal-planning intent into brand mentions, leaving a massive opening for competitors like Rancho Gordo and A Dozen Cousins.

Value Proposition

Heyday transforms the boring canned bean into an exciting, flavor-forward meal starter with globally-inspired recipes like kimchi sesame, harissa lemon, and tomato vodka sauce—making dinner as easy as opening a can.

Overview

Heyday Canning Co. is a modern food brand reinventing canned beans and soups with bold, globally-inspired flavors. They offer convenient, chef-quality pantry staples designed to make weeknight dinners delicious and effortless, bringing excitement back to the humble canned good.

Mission

To freshen up a 200-year-old technology for 21st century appetites.

Recommended Actions

!

Execute an LLM-targeted content campaign focused on OpenAI and Anthropic datasets.

With mention rates as low as 5% on ChatGPT, the brand is missing the largest share of the conversational AI market; seeding mentions in high-authority culinary and lifestyle publications is essential.

Impact: High
!

Develop and index 'Quick Meal' structured data and recipes.

Heyday is currently excluded from '10-minute dinner' and 'pantry dinner' queries; providing AI-readable recipe frameworks that feature Heyday products will address the 'Fast & Flavorful' gap.

Impact: High
~

Optimize for the 'Premium Alternative' narrative through comparison-style content.

Data shows AI already views Heyday as a superior alternative to Goya and Bush's; formalizing this through 'Best Alternatives to...' content will solidify this high-converting ranking.

Impact: Medium
~

Target the 'Wellness-Focused Family' persona via nutritional transparency and meal-prep utility.

This persona represents a major missed opportunity (18% visibility); focusing on high-protein, plant-based attributes will improve performance in family-oriented healthy pantry loading queries.

Impact: Medium
