What are the four records that decide email deliverability?

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and alignment. SPF lists who may send as your domain, DKIM signs your mail, DMARC tells receivers what to do when authentication fails, and alignment checks that the sending platform matches your own domain. Most small businesses have at least two of them wrong.

What does the email deliverability fix cost?

$500 flat for one domain, fixed within 24 hours of the domain being checked. Optional monitoring afterwards is $250 per month.

Is the work done by email or by phone?

Entirely by email. From the findings sheet to the recorded walkthrough, every step happens in writing, so you have a record of the whole thing and never have to get on a call.

You sent the invoice. But did it actually arrive?

Q: Do you guarantee inbox placement?

No. The records and alignment are fixed and verified. What a mailbox provider decides to do with your mail is theirs to decide, and anyone who promises a placement number is guessing.

Four DNS records decide whether your business email reaches an inbox or a junk folder. Can you say what state yours are in? Almost nobody can, and that is the whole problem. I check them, show you exactly what is broken, and fix it. Flat fee, done in a day, entirely by email. No phone calls.

$500

One domain. Fixed within 24 hours of my checking it. Optional monitoring afterwards at $250 per month.

Three questions, answered honestly

When did a client last reply to an invoice you emailed. Was it this week, or has it been quiet a while.
Have you ever sent a quote, heard nothing, and assumed they were not interested.
Could someone send mail that looks exactly like it came from your address today, and would anything stop it.

If you cannot answer that third one, it is not a gap in your knowledge. It is a gap in your records, and it has been there the whole time. Mail either arrives or it does not, and when it does not, nobody tells you. Silence from a filtered invoice sounds exactly like being ignored.

So which of the four is yours?

These are the records that decide it. Most small businesses have at least two of them wrong, and nobody told them, because the mail still "sends" either way.

Record	What goes wrong	What it costs you
SPF	Missing entirely, or ending in `?all` or `+all`, which authorizes every sender on earth to send as you.	Receivers cannot tell your real mail from a forgery. Your invoices start getting filtered.
DKIM	Not published, on the wrong selector, or published as an empty key that has been revoked.	Your mail is unsigned, so a forwarded estimate loses its trust chain and gets throttled.
DMARC	Missing, or sitting at `p=none`, which only monitors and enforces nothing.	Anyone can spoof your domain, and providers treat you as an unmanaged sender.
Alignment	Sending through a platform whose domain does not match your SPF or DKIM.	Mail passes one check and fails another, which is the worst outcome. Partial credit scores as suspicious.

Now read that middle column again. Which of the four could you rule out about your own domain, right now, without looking?

You can check this yourself in two minutes. Or put your domain in the box at the bottom of this page and I will send back a one-page findings sheet showing each record and its current state. Free, no obligation, no call.

What you get for $500

A full scan of your sending domain: MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, alignment, and every sending platform we can detect from the outside.
The records written correctly, with the exact values. I apply them myself if you give me access to your DNS, or send you a copy-paste sheet if you would rather do it yourself. Either way works, and I verify the result afterward.
A one-page before and after report showing each record's state on both sides.
Verification after the change, using live DNS and a mail test.
A recorded walkthrough so you can see exactly what changed. Never a call.

Turnaround: findings within 24 hours of you sending the domain. The fix itself takes about ninety minutes of my time once you authorize the change.

Ready to just get it fixed?

Pay $500

Payment goes through PayPal, and I get your email address with it. I will write to you within the hour to collect the domain and start. Same-day, email only, no call. If you would rather see the findings first, use the form at the bottom of this page and pay only when you decide.

What is one invoice that never got a reply worth to you?

One quote you never chased, because you assumed it was a no. That is the number this price is measured against, and it repeats every week for as long as you own the domain. The fix happens once.

What I will not promise

No inbox placement guarantee. I fix records and alignment. What a mailbox provider decides to do with your mail is theirs to decide, not mine, and anyone who promises you a placement number is guessing.

No bulk sending setup. If your real problem is that you are emailing people who never asked to hear from you, that is not a DNS problem and I will decline the work.

No legal or compliance conclusions. This is a technical fix on your records.

Who this is for

B2B shops and lead generation agencies, where inbox placement is the product.
Newsletter and course operators who email a real list every week.
Local businesses sending invoices, quotes, and estimates from their own domain.
SaaS teams whose password resets and receipts are quietly going to spam.

Monitoring, if you want it

$250 per month. A monthly re-scan, an alert if any record drifts or your sending reputation drops, and a quarterly review. Records break quietly when a platform changes something, and this catches it before your mail does.

When a record drifts, would you rather hear it from me, or from a customer who never got their invoice?

Start here. It costs nothing.

Put in your domain and your email. A confirmation message comes back to prove your address is real, then the findings sheet for your domain follows, free, the same day. No call, no obligation.

Or skip straight to the fix. Pay the $500 below, and I will email you within the hour to collect your domain and start.
