Episode #358 - The Essential Guide to Domain Verification for Ecommerce Brands
Ever throw a party and forget to tell the bouncer who's on the list? Suddenly your best friends are stuck outside while total randos waltz right in. That's basically what happens when you skip domain verification - and your emails are the ones getting bounced.
🎧 In this episode, I'm breaking down what domain verification actually is (in human language), why it's one of the easiest ways to boost deliverability, and how to check it off your to-do list without crying into your DNS settings. Whether you're gearing up for the holidays or just tired of spam-folder surprises, you'll walk away feeling confident instead of confused.
This episode is part of my ongoing Email Marketing Foundations series, where we unpack the tech, strategy, and mindset needed to build a reliable revenue engine through email + SMS.
