Paste your cold email copy and run the check. The checker scans the text for the patterns spam filters weigh most: known trigger words and phrases, formatting tricks like excessive capitals and exclamation marks, link and image habits, and the structural signals of a bulk template. Every flag comes with the reason it matters, so you can fix the actual problem instead of guessing. Run it on the exact version you plan to send, including the subject line, because small edits change the result.
Trigger words cluster into a few families. Money pressure: free money, guaranteed income, act now pricing. Urgency theater: urgent, limited time, do not delete, this is not spam (that one never helps). Too good claims: risk free, no obligation, miracle results. Filters also weigh patterns beyond single words: ALL CAPS runs, repeated punctuation, shortened links, a high link to text ratio, and an email that is one big image with almost no text. One flagged word rarely sinks an email on its own. Filters score the whole message, and a pile of small signals adds up to a spam verdict.
Passing this checker means your copy is clean. It does not mean your email will land in the inbox. Placement is decided by copy plus authentication (SPF, DKIM and DMARC on the sending domain), plus the reputation of the domain and inbox, plus whether the list actually wants the mail. Run the Domain Health Checker for the technical half and the Cold Email Subject Line Checker for the first line a filter and a human both read.
Rewrite, do not just delete. Replace hype words with plain specifics: instead of "guaranteed results", say what you actually do and for whom. Cut links down to the one that matters. Break up formatting tricks, write like a person emailing one person, and keep the ask small. Then run the check again on the new version. The goal is an email that a filter scores as ordinary business mail, because that is what it should be.
We pasted in the subject line ACT NOW!!! FREE Offer Inside, followed by a short hype filled body that began Dear Friend, promised a RISK FREE chance to make GUARANTEED income, pushed a bit.ly link, and closed with 100% FREE FREE FREE.
The checker scored the email 1 and labelled it REWRITE IT. It flagged trigger phrases at 9, listing click here, act now, limited time, risk free, congratulations, dear friend, guaranteed, and 100% free. It flagged the URL shortener bit.ly, while links in general were marked Fine. It counted 7 exclamation marks with the note Too much enthusiasm, gave an all caps count of 14 listing ACT, NOW, FREE, CONGRATULATIONS, RISK, and FREE, and reported No opt out found, with the note that CAN-SPAM/GDPR require one.
An operator does not send this version. Rewrite it in plain language, drop the shortener and the shouting, add an opt out line, and run the new copy through the checker again before it goes near a list.
It tests the copy itself: trigger words and phrases, formatting patterns, link habits and template signals that spam filters score. It does not send a test email or check placement on a specific provider.
The usual families are money pressure, fake urgency and exaggerated claims: words like free, guaranteed, act now, risk free and urgent. Context matters, and filters score combinations, so the checker flags patterns rather than single magic words.
Because copy is only one input. Check your authentication records, your domain and inbox reputation, your sending volume pattern and your list quality. A clean email sent from a burned domain to a scraped list still goes to spam.
One clear link is a good ceiling for a first touch. More links raise the bulk template signal and give the reader more reasons not to reply. Never use link shorteners in cold outreach.
No. Remove the pattern, not just the word. If the sentence only works with hype in it, rewrite the sentence with a plain, specific claim instead. Filters score the overall shape of the message.
Yes. The subject is scored with the body, and it is also the first thing the reader judges. Keep it plain and specific, and grade it with the subject line checker before sending.
No, and be careful with tools that promise that from a web form. Real placement testing needs seed inboxes and a live send. This checker covers the copy layer, which is the layer you fully control before sending.
Every new template and every major rewrite. Small changes to copy, links or formatting can move the score, so check the final version, not the draft you started with.
No. A completely sterile email usually reads sterile too. Aim for clean and human: no hype patterns, no formatting tricks, one link, plain claims. That is what normal business mail looks like.
It covers what is broken, what we would build, the timeline, and one fixed price. Want it walked through instead? Book a 15 minute plan walkthrough.
Or just reply to the plan email. Either works.
