# Bad Coffee: Agent-Direct Score F (12.3%)

Site: https://www.drinkbadcoffee.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/drinkbadcoffee.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Bad Coffee is largely invisible to agents.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "CafeOrCoffeeShop",
  "name": "Bad Coffee",
  "url": "https://www.drinkbadcoffee.com/",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Prince Edward Road",
    "postalCode": "E9 5LX",
    "addressLocality": "London"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 51.5441116,
    "longitude": -0.0258936
  },
  "servesCuisine": [
    "coffee shop"
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (D then)
