What actions should I take based on poor inbox placement results?
Poor placement results trigger a diagnostic checklist:
Verify authentication: Confirm SPF, DKIM, and DMARC pass and align properly.
Check postmaster tools: Review Gmail Postmaster and Microsoft SNDS for reputation and spam rate data.
Analyze by provider: Is the problem universal or specific to certain providers?
Review content: Scan for spam triggers, suspicious URLs, or recent content changes.
Segment analysis: Test engaged versus disengaged segments separately.
Isolate and test: Change one variable at a time and retest.
When your ships are being turned away, inspect papers, cargo, and crew before setting sail again.
