Email Deliverability Expert | Fix Spam & Inbox Placement

Are your emails going to spam, getting blocked by Outlook or Gmail, or simply not reaching the people you’re trying to contact? Email deliverability issues can come from DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain reputation, sending volume, tracking setup, mailbox configuration, or poor inbox placement. I help businesses troubleshoot and fix deliverability across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Apollo, Instantly, Smartlead, GoHighLevel, HubSpot, SendGrid, Mailgun, Brevo, Klaviyo, and other email platforms. My work includes spam placement, inbox placement testing, DNS and authentication, domain and subdomain strategy, outbound infrastructure, mailbox setup, migrations, blacklist/reputation monitoring, and sending-volume optimization. Clients typically hire me for: • Email deliverability audits and spam troubleshooting • SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, BIMI, MTA-STS, and TLS-RPT configuration • Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 deliverability issues • Cold email infrastructure setup and repair • Domain, subdomain, and dedicated sending-domain strategy • Inbox placement and seed testing • Domain reputation and blacklist monitoring • Email header and authentication analysis • Mailbox provisioning and warm-up planning • SendGrid, Mailgun, Brevo, Amazon SES, and SMTP configuration • Apollo, Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, and GoHighLevel setup • Sending-volume, bounce-rate, and list-quality optimization I’ve supported 100+ client campaigns across SaaS, financial services, healthcare, eCommerce, real estate, compliance, and service businesses. My process starts with a full review of your sending environment, including DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX records, message headers, tracking configuration, domain reputation, sending patterns, list quality, and platform settings. From there, I identify the root cause, prioritize the fixes, and either implement them directly, work with your IT team, or walk you through the changes on a live call. You’ll leave with a clear action plan, documented fixes, and a setup built for more consistent inbox placement.
