Office 365 has changed up their alert system for emails that are not verified, at least in my inbox this is what I am seeing. Probably coming to yours soon as well.

Look at this obnoxious gold alert that comes on top of the email. Can't miss that, eh? Very discouraging for people to open it. Well, this email was just a regular email for Landmark Home Warranty to us and it comes on all of their newsletter updates and direct emails.

Why does this happen? Because their email sending app is not verified with their domain to send on its behalf. How do you fix this? A few entries under their domain.

This has been one of my pet peeves over the last few years as it is an easy fix, but not many understand it, and they don't realize their emails are likely landing in junk mail at a much higher rate, due to this not being done. I have reached out many times to non customers alerting them of this, saying, tell your marketing team to go research SPF, DKIM and DMARC. It will help your emails reach your customers a lot better.

Well, now with this new bold alert at the top of your emails, you really need to get this done ASAP. We can help you get this fixed. Just reach out.

----> SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are essential DNS-based email authentication protocols that work together to prevent domain spoofing, phishing, and phishing, ensuring email deliverability. SPF authorizes sending IPs, DKIM signs messages to verify integrity, and DMARC instructs receivers on handling failures while providing reporting.

I have been reviewing some content work done by a customer's marketing team and I would like to point this out.

If you are not doing the proper technical SEO on page when you add marketing content, you could be leaving $$ on the floor. Heading titles, metadata, open graph, alt texts, etc. are so important. And when you upload 3MB files into the website, that will kill your speed.

Our management package includes taking that marketing content and doing it right for you, so all of these things are not missed. We can work directly with them so you can get the best bank for your buck overall.

Y'all know I am all about having a great social media management tool. My favorite is Publer.io (reach out if you want to see it in action).

However, this one here is supposed to be quite good as well. Check out their features https://www.ocoya.com/features

They came back as a special sale in the lifetime license warehouse.

17 more hours to get it. They have also limited codes and you can see it is selling down. I may just have to get a few codes myself.

Lifetime license, 60 days to try out and 100% refund.

This looks fun! Real Estate agents, home decorators, think useful? I think I will dig up my bedroom empty room pics:) and try and remodel it from scratch. Don't like how it is currently.

It's World Backup Day. We just spent the week rebuilding all our backup platforms with more layers, making sure every website has a remote backup as well in even a 2nd location.

Last year I got a call while on a train ride to Dallas. An old customer had mistakenly let their URL lapse and their website was gone, too late to recover it, and the domain too was gone. Fortunately, when I had worked with them last, I saved a remote backup. We still had it, and Ken was able to get their website back up to a new domain, all by the time I landed in Dallas.

If you need help making sure your backup system is done enough times, and multi layered as we had, reach out. We will help you get it sorted out so you can sleep easily knowing your website is safe.

Y'all - my favorite tool is doing a sale - 3 mo free. Seriously you cannot beat this with a stick. If you post to different social media accounts for your business, Publer is an amazing tool. Integration with Canva, includes TikTok as well, autosaves media from all accounts reuse posts, phone all, post to reels, auto schedule, RSS integration, AI integration, and so much more. https://publer.io/platinumvue
I calculated what 6 accounts would be for one user. With the sale, $18 per month. I don't know any other app that has pricing this low with so many features. Gone are all the reasons you are not posting to all the social platforms. (Ok, you get a slide on X :P But they have it too, for a minor cost. Most tools dumped them when X started charging thousands to connect) (note - aff link, I get a small cut)

I had purchased this tool for someone before the deal closed down, but it turned out they also were able to get it. Anyone interested before I return it? Super detailed reports.

Good time to go check your Road View in your business's Google Profile Manager. Ken noticed this was the street view for our customer's Google Business Profile, the only image there too. Thanks, Google!!

Google doesn’t take requests to update Street View imagery. You can see where they're driving - not this year for us, sadly. https://www.google.com/streetview/understand/

BUT - You can upload your own photos and also upload your own 360 image.
