Five real before/after experience-bullet rewrites for marketers — the befores are representative marketing bullet lists from Standout's 2026 LinkedIn Visibility Benchmark (family median: 41/100), from no bullets at all to “created and scheduled posts”, and every after is the opening of the first reworded bullet the live audit engine actually delivered for that profile.
3 above the benchmark-wide median of 38. Benchmark-wide, half of all profiles were flagged for duty-based, metric-free bullets — and another 14% had no usable bullets at all. Full distribution and failure analysis in the marketing cut.

Marketing bullets describe the calendar, not the funnel: “managed social media accounts”, “wrote blog posts”, “supported product launches”. Every one of those is an input. Recruiters search the discipline keywords (demand generation, ABM, CRO, lifecycle, paid acquisition) and skim for funnel numbers — pipeline sourced, cost per MQL, engagement growth, conversion lift. The benchmark's weak marketing profiles had literally zero numbers across every bullet; the mid-tier ones had numbers but no searchable discipline terms. Both halves have to be there.
[action verb that signals ownership] + [keywords recruiters search: tools, segment, discipline] + [one number that proves the outcome]
LinkedIn's search matches the literal text of your experience bullets, and recruiters skim them in seconds. So each bullet has two jobs at once: carry the exact terms a search filters on (the stack, the segment, the discipline), and prove the work moved a number (latency, pipeline, activation, spend). Duties do neither — “Responsible for…” bullets were flagged on half the benchmark. Every rewrite the engine returned below opens with the verb, keeps the keywords, and lands on the number.
Each before is a representative marketing bullet list from the benchmark corpus, with the score it earned on September 18, 2026. Each after is the verbatim opening of the first reworded bullet the live audit engine delivered for that exact profile on September 26, 2026 — the full top-3 bullet rewrite is what the $1 review ships.
(no experience bullets at all — the benchmark's “no usable bullets” failure: nothing for recruiter search to match, no proof of scope for a recruiter who does land here)

[Generated/Sourced] [$X]M in [pipeline/revenue] through [discipline keyword: demand generation, ABM, lifecycle marketing] programs across [channels: paid search, email, webinars], at [efficiency number: cost per MQL −35%, 11-month CAC payback].
Pipeline + discipline keyword + efficiency metric — the mid-tier profile above had the numbers and still got flagged for missing the searchable terms.
Owned [channel/program: social strategy, editorial calendar, paid acquisition] across [N channels/brands], growing [metric: engagement, organic sessions, followers] [X%] in [timeframe] — [tool keyword: GA4, HubSpot, Sprout].
“Owned” + a growth number turns calendar management into a result; the tool names are what recruiter keyword filters actually match.
Launched [campaign/series: webinar series, content cluster, brand refresh] driving [output number: 400 registrants/session, 40+ featured snippets, 28% of new pipeline], partnering with [sales/product/agencies].
A launch verb plus its downstream funnel number proves the input produced an output — the gap in every weak profile above.

The before bullets are from Standout's 2026 LinkedIn Visibility Benchmark corpus — representative profiles, modeled on common real-world LinkedIn patterns: constructed and fictional (invented names and companies), never scraped, because LinkedIn blocks anonymous profile access and Standout's own product promise is no account access. Scores are from the benchmark run on September 18, 2026; each after is the verbatim bullet rewrite opening the same live production engine — the exact code path behind every visitor's free audit — returned for that profile on September 26, 2026. Full methodology and limitations are in the complete report; raw data is available to any journalist via [email protected].
