Site: https://birdandco.info/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/birdandco.info
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Bird & Co is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Bird & Co. It can read what Bird & Co offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://app.birdandco.info/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://birdandco.info/menu
- Phone: 0318802209

## What to fix first

- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
