Improve email deliverability
What is ESP Matching?
ESP Matching is a strategy that improves email deliverability by identifying the email service provider (ESP) of your recipients—such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo—and sending emails from the same ESP. This approach helps ensure emails land in the inbox rather than the spam folder.
- Higher inbox placement. Gmail and Outlook prefer emails from their own servers and often filter out messages from low-quality providers.
- Improved email authentication. Minimizes issues with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication, which can cause emails from different ESPs to be rejected or marked as suspicious.
- Faster email delivery. Emails sent within the same ESP have lower latency and faster processing, ensuring they reach recipients without unnecessary delays.
How it works?
Follow these three simple steps to identify ESPs and improve your email strategy. And send emails from the matching ESP for better inbox placement and deliverability.
