Get startedMonitor and improve inbox placement by following these steps:
- Run a placement test before sending: Check whether the campaign reaches the inbox or spam folder across mailbox providers.
- Compare results by IP address and domain: Identify if the problem only happens in one place or across your entire email program.
- Review provider-specific signals: Look for filtering or throttling at providers like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Office 365.
- Check your Sender Score: Investigate any sudden drops in reputation that could affect your inbox placement.
- Verify authentication: Make sure your Sender Policy Framework (SPF), DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), and Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) are still properly configured and aligned.
- Check for blocklist activity and spam traps: Get rid of risky email addresses and deal with the causes of any listing.
- Correct the issue and test again: Once you've handled everything, repeat the test before sending.
Inbox placement monitoring software costs vary based on how many emails you're sending, the number of domains and IP addresses you have, the features you need, and the size of your team. Some tools only have fixed plans, while enterprise platforms usually offer custom pricing based on your email program's scale and complexity. Validity Engage is priced on exactly what your team actually needs, so you're only paying for features you need that will actively contribute to your business.
