This frustrates a lot of beginners. A clean list helps, but inbox placement is about more than your contacts.
Why it matters: providers also judge your sending reputation — how your domain and sending address have behaved over time.
— Check you've set up SPF and DKIM (SPF is basically a guest list of who's allowed to send for your domain; DKIM is a signature proving the email is really from you).
— Avoid spammy words in subject lines like "FREE!!!" and "ACT NOW".
— Send a real message and ask a friend to check their spam folder.
✅ Today, verify SPF and DKIM are switched on in your platform.
