Site: https://www.baitshopseattle.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/baitshopseattle.com
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.)
Bait Shop is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.exploretock.com/baitshop (through tock acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.baitshopseattle.com/s/BaitShop_Menu.pdf
- Phone: +1-206-324-2635

## What to fix first
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. 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.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.exploretock.com/baitshop (through tock acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.baitshopseattle.com/s/BaitShop_Menu.pdf

## Opening hours

Mo-Su 16:00-02:00

## About

- Website: https://www.baitshopseattle.com/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## 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 (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Booking through tock on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Tock lets agents act only through its partners.** Tock's terms (12 February 2026) prohibit robots, scripts, scrapers and automated systems except software expressly licensed by Tock; Google names Tock as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.exploretock.com/terms. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
