Why send from your own account
A real person's inbox on your own domain is what prospects expect to hear from. Replies thread naturally, and you are not sharing reputation with anyone else's sending.
The trade-off is that your domain's reputation is yours to protect, so volume and relevance matter more than with a sending network.
The rules that protect your domain
Most deliverability problems come from sending too much, too fast, to people who didn't want it.
- Stay well below Google's sending limits; for cold outreach, a few dozen well-targeted emails a day beats hundreds
- Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC on your sending domain before you start
- Space emails out inside business hours, not in a burst
- Include a one-click unsubscribe and honour it immediately
- Stop the sequence the moment someone replies or books
- Watch bounces and remove bad addresses
How Distro sends from Gmail
You connect your Google account once. Distro writes a personalized email for each prospect, sends it through your account inside the sending windows and daily limits you set, and adds a one-click unsubscribe to every email.
Replies show up in your Gmail and in Distro's inbox, and the rest of that person's sequence stops automatically. Opens, clicks, replies, bounces and unsubscribes are tracked per campaign.
