A sender came to me with a domain Google had stopped trusting. Reputation had slipped, and one bad stretch pushed the domain to Low on May 25, 2026. When Google rates a domain Low, a large share of mail skips the inbox, so the whole list stops earning.
I ran our full reputation rebuild. I fixed authentication and alignment, cleaned and protected the list, corrected sending cadence and volume, then rebuilt domain and IP reputation and monitored placement every week.
Google Postmaster tells the story. Domain reputation climbed to High in early July 2026 and has held High through August 10. On the sending IPs, the mix moved from Bad and Low through May to 100% High from June onward, steady since.
Proof is attached: real Google Postmaster screenshots, with the domain hidden for privacy.
