Email Deliverability: How to Avoid Spam Filters and Land in the Inbox

What is Email Deliverability?

Email deliverability determines whether your email lands in the inbox, spam folder, or gets blocked altogether. If your emails aren’t being seen, your marketing efforts are wasted.

How Spam Filters Work

Spam filters scan emails for:

🚩 Spam trigger words (e.g., “Free money,” “Act now,” “Guaranteed”).

🚩 Excessive use of images with little text.

🚩 Email reputation and sender score.

How to Improve Email Deliverability

1. Use a Verified Domain – Authenticate your emails with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

2. Avoid Spammy Language – Reduce words like “Buy Now,” “Lowest Price,” and “Earn $$$.”

3. Send Engaging Content – High engagement signals (opens, clicks) improve deliverability.

4. Keep a Clean Email List – Remove inactive subscribers to maintain a healthy sender reputation.

5. Monitor Your Bounce Rate – A high bounce rate signals email providers that your list is outdated.

Test Before You Send!

Run your email through Mail-Tester or GlockApps to check its spam score.
