interlace.agencyLevel A,
run on ourselves.
We sell the Citation Engine — getting a business cited in the places AI assistants look for evidence. A fair question for a shop this new: does the citation vendor have citations?
As of today — no. This page is us fixing that, in public, with the same playbook we charge for.

Day 0.
The baseline, measured before any work. Queries verbatim, results unflattering, dated 2026‑08‑18.
Google — the category
“AI search optimization agency Seattle local business”
A full shelf of agencies. We are not on it. The storefront layer of this category is crowded.
Google — the brand
“interlace.agency”
Talent agencies, real-estate agencies, insurance directories. Nothing that is us.
A frontier assistant — the category
“Recommend an agency in Seattle that can make my business show up when customers ask AI assistants for recommendations”
It declined to name a single agency — and then described the methodology to look for: entity management, brand-mention seeding, schema, review programs. The answer slot exists. Nobody holds it.
The same assistant — the brand
“What is interlace.agency?”
“I don’t have any specific information about interlace.agency.” Verbatim. A clean zero.
This site’s technical layer (Level B)
schema.org JSON-LD · /llms.txt · robots.txt
Passes. The one claim that was already true before this page existed.
Google’s shelf is crowded. The assistants’ shelf is empty — no assistant has an answer for this category yet. That empty answer slot is what Level A claims. We are claiming it for ourselves first.
The same playbook we sell.
Citation footprint across the directories and professional platforms where models look for evidence. Methodology published here, where it can be cited. The same three checks above, re‑run monthly and logged on this page with dates.
The rule of the log: queries verbatim, numbers real, entries dated. If a month moves nothing, the log says so. That is the product — demonstrated, not described.
The log
2026‑08‑18
Day 0. Baseline measured and published — the five checks above. Current state: technically readable (Level B holds), evidentially invisible (Level A starts at zero). Work begins.
