If you’re sending cold emails without monitoring your deliverability, your emails could be landing in spam without you knowing.
Your email deliverability tells you if your emails are reaching your audience. Improving your deliverability helps you get your emails opened, increase your reply rates and make your campaign a success!
Here are 3 steps you can take to audit your email deliverability and fix any potential issues:
#1 Check your sender reputation
A good reputation with email providers is essential to land emails in prospects' inboxes. To check your sender reputation, you can use your IP address or your domain name.
Simply go to the SenderScore or MxToolbox to check that:
✅ your MX records are set up
✅ SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured
✅ you're not on any blacklists
Here’s what your DNS settings check could look like:
#2 Check your bounce and complaint rates
High bounce and spam complaint rates show you might have issues with your email deliverability. You should always aim for:
✅ bounce rate of < 5-8%
✅ complaint rate of < 0.08%
You can track your email metrics and avoid deliverability issues with your email outreach software, such as lemlist:
3. Check your deliverability score
Use a warm-up and deliverability booster like lemwarm to check your deliverability score. Based on this score, you’ll know if it’s safe or not to start sending campaigns.
Depending on your email health, your deliverability score could be under 3 different stages:
→ Red
This stage means you might be blacklisted or have a wrong technical setup. You shouldn’t send email campaigns at this stage as you risk landing in spam.
→ Orange
At this stage, your email address is warmed up and fewer emails are landing in the spam folder. But it would be best if you still waited for the green stage to start sending emails.
→ Green
At this moment, you should start sending emails. Make sure to keep your warm-up and deliverability booster ON before-during-after sending campaigns to keep deliverability high.
Now that you have a better idea of your email deliverability status, it's time to fix any issues that might stop your emails from landing in the primary tab.
