# Yaawk Coffee: Agent-Direct Score F (35.4%)

Site: https://yaawkcoffee.co.za/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/yaawkcoffee.co.za
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Yaawk Coffee is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Yaawk Coffee's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://yaawkcoffee.co.za/account (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +27 73 151 8401

## What to fix first

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
