Can you warm up an IP in a week?

Myth: False. Proper IP warmup typically takes 4 to 6 weeks minimum, not one week. Rushing warmup triggers spam flags by appearing as sudden suspicious volume from unknown source.

Warmup requires gradual volume increase while monitoring for positive engagement signals. Starting too fast or scaling too quickly damages the reputation you are trying to build.

Plan warmup appropriately. Start small, increase gradually, monitor closely, and be patient. Short cutting warmup creates problems that take longer to fix than proper warmup would have taken.
