Quick answer

Six areas decide email performance: list hygiene, deliverability and authentication, engagement quality, automation coverage, content relevance and revenue attribution — each rated 1–5 against written anchors and benchmark ranges (bounce under 2%, complaints under 0.1%, engaged subscribers above 25% of the file, at least three live flows). Because low scores interact, the AI report sequences remediation: authentication and sunset policies first, then flows, then creative — the opposite of what most teams do.

💡

About this template

Email results get explained with the wrong nouns — "engagement dropped", "the audience is tired" — when the mechanism is usually measurable and boring: a purchased cohort dragging sender reputation, a click-tracking redirect that mailbox providers distrust, one welcome flow carrying all the revenue, or a file nobody has pruned since a migration. This audit replaces narrative with six scored areas, benchmark ranges and a deliverability red-flag checklist covering SPF, DKIM, DMARC, complaint rate and inactive-contact policy.

Opens are treated as a trend signal only, since mailbox privacy prefetching inflated them from 2021 onward; the report weights clicks per recipient, list churn and revenue per send instead. Agencies run it at onboarding to explain a client's flat results without blaming their creative; in-house teams run it before a provider migration, when hygiene risk is highest.

Sample Questions Inside

A preview of real questions — the full version adds scoring and a personalized report per respondent.

  1. List hygiene: when did you last remove hard bounces and never-opened contacts? (1–5 + date)
  2. Deliverability: are SPF, DKIM and DMARC all aligned on the sending domain? (yes / partial / no)
  3. Complaint rate: what was it on your last three sends? (<0.1% / 0.1–0.3% / above)
  4. Engagement: what share of the file clicked in the last 90 days? (range)
  5. Automation: how many behaviour-triggered flows are live right now? (number)
  6. Content: does the sender address come from a person or a brand alias, and does subject testing run? (1–5)
  7. Attribution: what was revenue per send last quarter, and how is it measured? (open)
  8. How is the list growing — organic, paid lead magnet, import or purchased? (choice)

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a healthy email program score look like?
Directionally: permission-based list growth, bounce rate under 2%, complaint rate under 0.1%, more than a quarter of the file engaged in 90 days, at least three automated flows live, and revenue per send tracked. A 4 or 5 on all six areas means email is an owned channel rather than a megaphone.
Why do open rates no longer prove anything?
Mailbox privacy prefetching — Apple Mail Privacy Protection from 2021 and similar mechanisms — records opens that never happened, inflating the metric unevenly across segments. This scorecard uses opens as a trend signal and weights clicks per recipient, list churn and revenue per send instead.
How do I know if I have a deliverability problem?
Warning signs: a widening sent-versus-delivered gap, inbox placement that differs by provider, engagement dropping right after a volume increase, or complaints above 0.1%. The checklist covers SPF, DKIM, DMARC, click-tracking redirect chains, list-buying history and sunset policies.
Is this for B2B or e-commerce?
Both. Answer the context questions and the AI report changes what it treats as critical — authentication and flow coverage for B2B nurture, segmentation and revenue per send for e-commerce.
How often should the audit run?
Twice a year at minimum, and always before a provider migration or after importing a large acquired list, when hygiene risk is highest.
Is it free?
Yes. One click copies the form, scoring and report template into your FormLM workspace at no cost.
