Email recommendations that are a prioritized plan, not just a list of problems. Knowing something is wrong isn’t the hard part; knowing which fix matters most, and exactly how to make it, is. ToolTrusted’s Recommendation Engine turns your open issues into email recommendations — the exact fixes, ranked by impact and explained in plain language.
The result is clear email deliverability recommendations you can act on — prioritized email fixes that show you how to fix email authentication first, in the right order.
Your email recommendations are ranked by impact, not listed at random, so the fix that moves your score most comes first. Every one of these email recommendations ties back to a real check from monitoring, and you can confirm it with the free email tools before you publish a DNS change.
How email recommendations are built
The engine reads your deterministic incidents, trends and analytics and produces evidence-backed recommendations: what to do, why it matters, the action to take, and a guide link — sequenced so the highest-impact, worst-severity items come first. It’s a first-class part of the platform, built entirely in-house.
What you get
- Impact rankingThe fixes that move your posture most, first — not an unordered checklist.
- Plain-English whyWhat each fix does and why it matters, without the jargon wall.
- The exact actionThe concrete change to make, with a link to the matching guide.
- Resolved trackingAs you ship a fix, the recommendation closes and your score reflects the gain.
Where it fits
Email recommendations are where understanding becomes action. They read the Incidents and Analytics the platform has already built, and once you’ve acted, Benchmarking shows how you now compare.
Which plan includes this
Guided recovery from Starter · $9.99/mo
Every Email Health Report shows your open fixes with step-by-step how-to guides — that is guided recovery, included from Starter (and free on any Health Check). Pro adds the impact-ranked action plan: the Recommendation Engine prioritizes and sequences the fixes across your history. Recovery is the core of the product, never an upsell: if we tell you something is broken, we tell you what to do about it. It is independent (we sell you no fix), deterministic and evidence-backed, grounded in the real email standards — and it never fabricates a metric or claims to measure inbox placement. See plans →
How the ranked SPF DKIM DMARC fixes are built
ToolTrusted’s recommendations are not a generic checklist — they are derived from the same deterministic scorer that produces your Email Health Score. Each recommendation is tied to a specific measured finding on your domain and the exact rule and evidence behind it, then ranked by how many points fixing it would recover. The item at the top is genuinely the one that moves the needle most.
For example, if SPF is returning a permerror and DKIM is simply missing a selector, the engine knows the permerror costs more and is more urgent, so it ranks the SPF fix first and tells you precisely what to change. Follow the list top-down and you are always working the highest-impact fix next, not the easiest or the loudest. Because it is deterministic, the same posture always yields the same ranked plan — you can trace every recommendation back to the rule that generated it. Guided recovery steps are available from Starter; the full impact-ranked action plan is part of Pro.
Frequently asked questions
How does ToolTrusted decide what to fix first?
Recommendations are ranked by their impact on your Email Health Score, derived deterministically from the same rules that produce the score — so the top item is genuinely the one that moves the needle most, not a generic checklist.
Are the recommendations generic advice?
No. Each is tied to a measured finding on your domain and the specific rule and evidence behind it, so it reflects your actual configuration rather than boilerplate.
Which plan includes this?
Guided recovery steps are available from the Starter plan ($9.99/mo); the full impact-ranked action plan is part of Pro ($29/mo).
Every email recommendation maps back to a published standard — for example, SPF’s ten-DNS-lookup limit is defined in RFC 7208 — so the fix you are told to make is the one the specification actually requires, not our opinion.
