How to Improve Your Deliverability Score
If your test result is low, here are some proven best practices to help improve your score:
Set Up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
Ensure these essential email authentication protocols are properly configured in your DNS hosting provider:
SPF: Authorizes sending servers for your domain.
DKIM: Verifies that your emails haven’t been altered.
DMARC: Protects your domain from spoofing and phishing.
Use Permission-Based Contact Lists
Always send emails to contacts who have explicitly given consent to receive your email communications. Avoid using purchased or scraped email lists—they can trigger spam filters and harm your domain reputation.
Maintain a Positive Sending Reputation
Focus on:
Sending relevant, engaging content, to contacts who open your emails regularly.
Reducing complaints, unsubscribes, and bounces.
Avoiding "spammy" practices.
Monitor Engagement
Keep a clean email list by removing inactive contacts, and focus on recipients who regularly open and interact with your emails. This helps signal good engagement to email service providers.
Include a Clear Unsubscribe Link
Make it easy for users to unsubscribe. Not only is this a requirement for email compliance, it improves trust and reduces the chances of your emails being marked as spam.
Avoid Spam Trigger Words and Formatting
Steer clear of:
Overuse of terms like “Free”, “Act now”, etc.
Excessive punctuation or all caps.
Emails with large images and little text.
By applying these best practices, you’ll improve the reputation and performance of your sending domain—ensuring your emails land where they belong: in your audience's inbox.
