The problem it solves

Sending campaigns to an old or unverified contact list means some emails bounce, which hurts your sender reputation and makes future emails more likely to land in spam.

Who it fits

Businesses running email marketing or outreach who want to protect deliverability.

How it works

  1. The contact list is checked one entry at a time
  2. Each contact's domain is looked up to identify their email provider
  3. The result, Google, Microsoft, or other, is saved next to the contact
  4. The list is marked as verified before you send your campaign
What you get

Campaigns that land instead of bounce

You know each contact's email provider before you send, so your campaign reaches inboxes instead of bouncing.

What you get

An updated contact list showing which email provider each contact uses.

What you need

A Google account for the contact spreadsheet.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
