Why are my emails going to spam?

Almost always one of four causes, in rough order of likelihood: missing authentication records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), a sending domain or its links on a blacklist, volume behavior that looks bot-like (new domain, sudden bursts), or content-plus-engagement history that filters have learned to distrust.

Almost always one of four causes, in rough order of likelihood: missing authentication records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), a sending domain or its links on a blacklist, volume behavior that looks bot-like (new domain, sudden bursts), or content-plus-engagement history that filters have learned to distrust.

Diagnose before guessing: run your domain through a deliverability check (ours is free and takes seconds). It shows authentication and blacklist status immediately, which rules the big causes in or out.

Then fix in order: records first, list hygiene second (bounces poison reputation), volume discipline third. Content tweaks, the thing everyone fiddles with first, matter least until the plumbing is right.

This is the work. Want it done?

Everything here is free to use yourself. That’s the point. If you’d rather a senior marketer just handle it, in your accounts and your name: 20-minute call, no pitch deck.
