EMAIL DELIVERABILITY AUDIT

Find out why your
quotes land in spam.

Free 90-second audit of your domain's email auth posture. Plain-English findings, no jargon, sent back the same day.

For Michigan service businesses watching their sent emails ghost into Gmail and Outlook spam folders since Google and Yahoo's 2024 sender enforcement rolled out.

THE REALITY

Your customers stopped getting your emails. You probably never noticed.

Most small business domains have an email auth setup that has not been touched since the day they bought the domain. SPF is half-configured, DKIM is missing entirely, and DMARC is either absent or set to "monitor only." Until February 2024, none of that mattered much. Mail still got through.

Then Google and Yahoo turned on bulk-sender enforcement. Domains without proper DMARC, SPF, and DKIM started getting silently dropped into spam, deferred, or rejected outright. Your quotes, invoices, and follow-ups stopped landing. Your customers think you went quiet. Your competitors with proper setups are getting the calls instead.

The fix takes a few hours. The audit takes 90 seconds. The cost of waiting is one lost job a week, every week, until somebody fixes it.

WHAT THE AUDIT COVERS

Five Things, In Plain English

No 50-page PDF. Five real findings, ranked by what actually affects your sales emails today.

DMARC posture

Whether you have a DMARC record at all, what policy it's set to (none, quarantine, reject), and whether it's actually being enforced or just monitoring. The number one reason emails go to spam in 2026.

SPF + DKIM

The two records that prove your outbound email is really from you. We check that both exist, that they cover all the senders you actually use (your CRM, your billing software, your scheduler), and that nothing is silently broken.

TLS expiry

The certificate on your mail server. Lapses without warning, and once it does, modern mail servers refuse to deliver to you. We tell you the exact date yours expires and whether you need to act this week.

Mail provider sanity check

If you're on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, we confirm the configuration is correct on their side too. Most setups have at least one box unchecked that the provider never tells you about.

Plain-English explanation

Every finding is written so you can read it on your phone in the truck. No jargon, no fear-mongering. Just what's wrong, what it costs you, and how long the fix takes.

[HIGH] DMARC is set to p=none
Evidence: _dmarc.acmehvac.com → v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]
What it means: Your DMARC policy is published but set to monitor-only. Spoofers can still send as your domain.
Why it costs you money: Google and Yahoo flag p=none senders for spam. Your sales emails are at risk of going to junk on the recipient side.
Fix: Move to p=quarantine with pct=10, ramp to 100, then to p=reject. Takes about three hours including reporting setup.
A REAL FINDING

This Is What Lands In Your Inbox

One finding per issue, with the literal record we pulled, what it means in plain English, what it costs you, and the fix. No padding, no stock photos, no "synergy."

Most domains have between two and four findings. We send the worst three back to you in an email; the full report (PDF) follows if you want it.

PRICING

The audit is free. The fix is one flat fee.

No retainer, no discovery call required, no "let's hop on a strategy session." One page, one price.

Audit

Free

The 90-second posture check, the worst three findings, and a plain-English explanation of what each one is doing to your deliverability. No catch.

Fix + 3 months monitoring

$500 flat

End-to-end remediation: SPF cleanup, DKIM signing for up to three sending sources, DMARC ramp from p=none through quarantine to p=reject, reporting wired up. Then we watch the reports for three months to confirm we did not break anything.

Introductory rate for the first three clients. Goes to $1,500 after that.

What's included

  • SPF record built or rebuilt to cover every legitimate sender we identify together.
  • DKIM signing configured at up to three sending sources (Workspace / M365 / your CRM / whatever sends mail in your name). Additional sources $100 each.
  • DMARC ramp on a documented schedule: p=none with reporting → p=quarantine pct=10 → 50 → 100 → p=reject. We do not skip steps.
  • DMARC report inbox + parser pointed at our existing dashboard so you can see who is trying to spoof you.
  • Three months of monitoring after p=reject: we watch the reports, alert on anomalies, and rotate DKIM keys if needed.

What you do

  • Provide DNS access at your registrar (or invite us as a delegate).
  • Tell us every tool that sends email on your behalf. If we miss one, you tell us when we ramp.
  • Be reachable inside one business day during the ramp (about ten minutes total over the engagement).

What is not included

  • Mailbox migrations, list cleanup, marketing copy review, M365 / Workspace tenant changes beyond DKIM, anything outside email auth. Quoted separately if you need it.

Refund

Full refund if we fail to complete due to anything on our end. No refund after DNS records are deployed (the work is done at that point; the rest is observation).

REQUEST IT

Tell us your domain. We'll send the audit back today.

One field is required. The rest helps us send the report to a real person at the right place.

By submitting, you agree we can run a one-time read-only check against the public DNS and HTTPS records for the domain you provide. We never log into anything, and we never share your domain with anyone else. Spam goes to /dev/null.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Things People Ask First

Is the audit really free?
Yes. We run an automated check against public DNS and HTTPS records, get the results in under two minutes, and send you the worst three findings. No login required, no payment, no obligation. If you want the fix done, that's $500 flat (introductory rate for the first three clients) and includes three months of post-deployment monitoring. If you want the report and you want to fix it yourself, the report has enough detail.
How is this different from the free DMARC checkers online?
Online DMARC checkers tell you whether a record exists. They do not tell you whether your specific email setup is sending mail that aligns with that record, whether DKIM is signing all your senders, whether your TLS is about to lapse, or which of your tools (CRM, scheduler, billing) is leaking out unauthenticated. We check the whole picture and explain what each finding means for your deliverability today.
How long does the fix take?
Active deployment is one to two weeks (DNS propagation plus an initial p=quarantine observation window). We then ramp through to p=reject across about four to eight weeks of further observation. The full engagement, including the three months of post-deployment monitoring, runs about three to four months. The active labor on our end is a few hours; the rest is waiting for reports and ramping safely. We do not pause your email at any point.
What happens after the three months of monitoring end?
You are at p=reject with proper reporting in place, and email auth is largely set-and-forget at that point. New SaaS senders or registrar moves can need a small adjustment; if you want us to keep watching, we can quote a monthly retainer at that point. Most clients do not need it after the initial three months.
Do you have to be in Michigan?
We work with Michigan service businesses by default because we are local and we know the trades. If you are out of state and the audit results show real problems, we will still take the work. The pricing does not change.
