Email deliverability audit & repair - GoHighLevel (SPF/DKIM/DMARC, domain reputation)
Worldwide
Email deliverability audit & repair — GoHighLevel (SPF/DKIM/DMARC, domain reputation) The situation I run an online training academy in the UK. My email list is my main sales channel and it has effectively stopped working. Current numbers (1 June to date, GoHighLevel): - ~43,000 emails delivered across roughly 27 campaigns - 6% open rate - Close to 0% click rate List context: - ~6,500 contacts total - Currently only sending to a smart-list segment of ~1,585 who have engaged in the last six months - I believe deliverability has been degrading for around three years, largely unmanaged - No contacts have been deleted, only suppressed from sending I'm treating this as a deliverability and domain reputation problem rather than a content or engagement problem, but I want an expert opinion rather than my own guess. **What I want first (this hire)** A fixed-price audit with a short written findings document covering: 1. SPF, DKIM and DMARC configuration — are they present, correct and passing? 2. Sending domain setup — root domain vs dedicated subdomain 3. Shared vs dedicated sending infrastructure within GHL, and whether that's contributing 4. Domain and IP reputation — Google Postmaster Tools, blacklist checks 5. List hygiene — bounces, spam complaints, hard-bounce handling 6. A prioritised fix list, with an honest view of how long recovery is likely to take **Likely follow-on work** If the audit goes well I'd want to hire you to implement the fixes and design a warm-up plan. I'd rather build a working relationship than do this once. **Timeline** I'd like to start this week. This is my highest priority. **Please answer these in your proposal - I'll only read proposals that do:** 1. Have you worked specifically inside GoHighLevel / LC Email before? What are its known deliverability weaknesses? 2. Roughly what open rate would you consider healthy for a warm training/coaching list? 3. Based on the numbers above, what's your first hypothesis about the cause? 4. How long does reputation recovery typically take once fixes are in place? 5. What will you need from me to complete the audit? Please don't send a generic proposal or a full marketing package. I'm looking for a technical specialist.
