Description
Stop your emails from landing in spam before you send your first campaign. Most Go High Level users activate their email account and immediately start sending—then watch their deliverability collapse. This happens because the critical setup steps are skipped. This guide walks through every configuration decision that separates inbox placement from the spam folder.
Email deliverability isn’t about luck. It’s about authentication, domain reputation, and sender configuration. Without proper setup, even perfectly written emails get filtered. You’ll learn the exact sequence of steps that ISPs (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) use to verify you’re a legitimate sender, not a spammer impersonating your domain.
- Three sending methods explained: LC Email, Mailgun, and custom SMTP—each with different deliverability profiles, setup complexity, and cost implications. You’ll understand which method matches your volume, budget, and technical comfort level.
- Domain authentication setup: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC aren’t just acronyms. These DNS records tell email providers your domain is genuine. This guide shows exactly where to add them in your DNS provider and what values to use.
- Sender identity configuration: From name, From email address, and Reply-To field choices affect both deliverability and customer trust. Wrong choices tank your open rates and trigger spam filters.
- Legal compliance built in: CAN-SPAM (US), GDPR (EU), and Australian Spam Act requirements are embedded in the setup process. You’ll know which fields are legally required and where they appear in GHL.
- Domain warm-up strategy: New sending domains start with a reputation score of zero. This guide includes a warm-up schedule that gradually increases volume so ISPs build trust in your domain instead of flagging it as suspicious.
- Pre-launch testing: Before your first real campaign, you’ll run verification tests to confirm SPF/DKIM/DMARC are working, your From address is authenticated, and your setup won’t cause bounces.
