Services / Audits
Know exactly where you stand.
A structured audit of your domains, authentication, infrastructure, list practices, and provider standing. Delivered as a prioritized action plan, not a pile of observations. If email has been a black box you take for granted, this is the inexpensive way to look inside it before one of its problems becomes the permanent kind.
Deliverability problems are almost never one problem. A typical estate that has grown for a few years carries some of everything. An SPF record at or over its 10-lookup evaluation limit. A DKIM selector that stopped resolving during a migration. DMARC parked at p=none. Sending volume concentrated on reputation nobody is tracking. A database with two years of unsuppressed hard bounces. And at least one tool sending from a domain nobody remembers authorizing. Each one costs a few placement points. Together they explain why "email just doesn't perform like it used to."
The audit finds all of it, with evidence. Then it does the part most audits skip: it ranks the findings by expected impact and sequences them into a plan. Order matters here. Fixing DMARC before you've fixed alignment is wasted motion, and warming new IPs before your lists are clean just burns the new IPs. You receive the prioritized roadmap and the data behind it, executable by your team, by ours, or by both.
Authentication & DNS audit
A full review of SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, and reverse DNS across every sending domain. Including the misalignments and stale records that silently cost you placement.
Infrastructure & IP reputation review
Where your mail actually leaves from, how those IPs and domains are seen by reputation systems and blocklists, and what your headroom looks like.
List & hygiene assessment
How your bounces, complaints, and unsubscribes are handled today, where suppression gaps exist, and what they cost you in sender reputation.
Provider compliance gap analysis
Where you stand against Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft sender requirements: one-click unsubscribe, authentication, complaint thresholds. And what to fix first.
A prioritized remediation roadmap
Not a 60-page PDF of observations. A ranked plan of what to change, in what order, with expected impact. Executable with us or on your own.
Why timing matters
Reputation debt compounds. Quietly.
Deliverability problems almost never announce themselves. They accrue: a drifted record, a creeping deferral rate, a slow bounce build-up. Each week of "it's probably fine" makes the eventual fix slower and more expensive, because reputation is rebuilt at the receiver's pace, not yours. The audit exists to catch the curve while it is still shallow.
What you get out of it
What changes for you.
You find out what is actually wrong
Evidence, not vibes. Each finding comes with the record, the response text, or the measurement that proves it.
Fixes in an order that works
Sequencing matters in email: alignment before DMARC enforcement, hygiene before warming. The roadmap saves you from doing the right things in the wrong order.
A baseline you can defend
Numbers for where you stand today, so next quarter’s "is it better?" has an honest answer.
Ammunition for the budget conversation
When leadership asks why email needs investment, you hand them findings with receipts instead of a feeling.
