Site: https://kapowcoffee.co.uk/pages/shops
Report: https://directindex.org/r/kapowcoffee.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Kapow Coffee is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Kapow Coffee's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Address: Thornton's Arcade 15 LS1 6LQ Leeds
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon–Fri 07:30–18:00; Sat 08:00–18:00; Sun 10:00–16:30

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Kapow Coffee that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Blank Street Coffee (190 m): https://directindex.org/r/blankstreet.com
- Chance & Counters (280 m): https://directindex.org/r/chanceandcounters.com

## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. 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 page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
