A quote request link that says yourbusiness.com gets trusted. A random long link gets ignored. And an email from an unverified domain goes straight to spam, along with your follow-up.

Ten minutes in your domain settings fixes both. Most people put it off because DNS looks scary. It isn't, if you follow the steps in order.

What you'll have

  • Your pages on yourbusiness.com instead of a generic link
  • A dedicated sending domain for email
  • Better email deliverability

Have these ready

  • Login to wherever you bought your domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google)
  • Ten quiet minutes; DNS mistakes are easy to make in a hurry

Do it yourself · Beginner · About 1 hour, plus DNS wait time

Here's exactly how.

  1. 1

    Decide what goes where

    Keep your main website where it is if you like it. Use a subdomain like go.yourbusiness.com for funnels, so nothing you already have breaks.

  2. 2

    Add the domain in your account

    In Settings, open Domains and add the domain or subdomain. The screen shows the exact DNS records to create.

  3. 3

    Create the records at your registrar

    In your domain registrar's DNS settings, add the records exactly as shown. A CNAME for a subdomain is the most common. Copy and paste instead of typing.

  4. 4

    Verify and assign

    Back in your account, verify the domain. Changes can take a few minutes to a few hours. Then assign it to your funnel or website.

  5. 5

    Set up a sending domain for email

    In Settings, open Email Services and add a dedicated sending domain, usually a subdomain like mail.yourbusiness.com. Add the records it gives you, then verify.

  6. 6

    Send a test

    Send a test email to Gmail and Outlook addresses. If it lands in spam, double-check the records before you send a campaign.

Tips from our team

  • Never delete existing DNS records you don't recognize. They usually run your current website or email.
  • Use a subdomain for sending email so your main domain's reputation stays clean.
  • If verification fails, wait an hour before changing anything. DNS takes time.
