# Throat Punch Coffee Co: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Site: https://www.throatpunch.co.uk/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/throatpunch.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Throat Punch Coffee Co is hard for agents to use.

## What to fix first
- **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": "Throat Punch Coffee Co",
  "url": "https://www.throatpunch.co.uk/",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Dalry Road 30",
    "postalCode": "EH11 2BA",
    "addressLocality": "Edinburgh"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 55.945113,
    "longitude": -3.2177278
  }
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
