Improve your domain to help emails avoid junk / spam folders
(1 review)
What you get with this Offer
I'm a professional, UK-based IT consultant, server administrator and web developer and have been for over two decades. I regularly troubleshoot email issues for clients and help them improve their messages' deliverability.
I will:
- Get info from you about the various platforms which send email on your business's domain, e.g. day-to-day email, your website, email marketing platform, transactional email platform, and CRM system
- Make sure that they are all authorised to send email via your domain's SPF record
- Get your domain's DKIM record up and running, where supported
- Add DMARC to your domain to track how your recipients' email servers are dealing with emails from your domain
- Check your website to make sure it is sending its emails in a way which is more likely to get them delivered to proper inboxes
- If you run the server/VPS that your website or email runs on, make sure it is set up in a way which helps receiving email servers trust it
- Report back to you on what was achieved
There are some things to bear in mind:
- Improving email deliverability is not like flicking a switch. It's rarely an overnight success! After my work, you won't start seeing 100% of your emails appearing in inboxes and no spam/junk delivery or rejections. But, if your email setup is currently very non-compliant (e.g. no SPF / DKIM etc) you should start to see some improvements quite quickly. I will report back on what I've achieved alongside sending your invoice. Then' it's a case of receiving-end servers building up their trust for your emails over time.
- Some hosting companies do not allow websites to send using the "better" authenticated method, so whether or not I can do anything with your website depends on what they do and don't allow
- To use DMARC, you need to sign up to a DMARC statistics provider who will collect all the reports from servers around the world. Alternatively, you can choose to receive the reports yourself but there will be a lot of them and, if you're not familiar with them, they might be fairly meaningless
The price is based on one domain. Further domains can be added through this page.
