Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Sottise is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Sottise. What Sottise offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Tock.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.exploretock.com/sottise/search?size=2&time=19%3A00 (through tock acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.sottisephx.com/s/SOTTISE-MENU.pdf
- Phone: +1-602-254-6378

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **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.

# Sottise

> restaurant in North 2nd Street 1025 85004 Phoenix, Phoenix. Phone +1-602-254-6378.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.exploretock.com/sottise/search?size=2&amp;time=19%3A00 (through tock acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.sottisephx.com/s/SOTTISE-MENU.pdf

## About

- Website: https://www.sottisephx.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.
- **Booking through tock on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Tock works with agents 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 may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
