Lee Hartley — AI Visible Founder and Schema Markup Specialist
Founder, AI Visible | Schema Markup Specialist, Salford
AI Visible is a Salford-based start-up that helps UK businesses get found in AI-powered search. Every audit and implementation is AI-assisted, human-reviewed, and accountable.
Why AI Search, Specifically
When I came back to the web after a long time away from the industry, I made a deliberate decision not to try and catch up on everything I had missed. Instead, I focused on where search was clearly heading rather than where it had been.
AI search adds new ways for customers to discover businesses. Website clarity, technical access, accurate identity and corroborating evidence all matter. Structured data helps describe page facts; it does not guarantee a citation.
AI Visible focuses on practical, affordable website improvements for small businesses, with a clear scope and a person accountable for the work.
How It Works
You can begin with a free homepage snapshot or choose a paid audit. Automated initial findings are separate from a human-reviewed paid report. The agreed scope determines which pages are assessed and which fixes are included.
For implementation, we review existing markup, prepare agreed changes and validate the output against the relevant vocabulary and supported search features. Delivery timing depends on the platform, scope and access.
AI does the heavy lifting. A trained human checks the work, owns the output, and is accountable for the result. When you email hello@aivisible.co.uk, a person reads it and replies.
Credentials
Lee Hartley combines early-web publishing experience, modern digital marketing retraining, and specialist hands-on work in schema markup, structured data, and AI search visibility. AI Visible is intentionally niche: focused on helping UK businesses become easier for AI systems to understand, verify, and cite.
How the work is reviewed
Lee reviews factual claims, source links, business details and recommendations before paid work is handed over. Automated checks support the assessment; they are not a substitute for interpreting what matters to your business.
See the NC Joinery audit-score example. The example documents checklist improvements, not a measured traffic-growth result.
AI Visible and SchemaForge
AI Visible is the done-for-you service for small business owners. SchemaForge is related tooling for developers and agencies who need more control and scale. Read how the services differ.
