A senior reviewer audits your sending setup, deliverability signals, and copy. You receive a written report with prioritized fixes. No calls. No fluff.
Most low reply rate problems are not copy problems. They are infrastructure problems wearing a copy mask.
Half configured SPF, missing DKIM, or a permissive DMARC policy quietly routes your messages to spam. The recipient never sees them.
Domain age, warmup history, bounce ratio, and reply rate trend silently compound. By the time placement drops, you are three weeks behind.
Subject patterns, link density, formatting tells, and CTA pressure all read as automated outbound to filters. The message itself never gets a fair shot.
One reviewer. One report. Forty eight hours. The fixes you actually need to ship, not a checklist generated by a tool.

| Domain | outbound.acme.io |
|---|---|
| Tool | Smartlead v3 |
| Findings | 2 high · 2 med · 3 low |
| Verdict | Two infrastructure issues are capping your placement before copy ever matters. Fix order is documented below. |
| Severity | High |
|---|---|
| Observed | v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@acme.io |
| Why it matters | A p=none policy gives you reporting but no enforcement. Spoofers can forge your domain, and inbox providers see the loose policy as a low trust signal. |
| Fix | Move to p=quarantine; pct=25 for two weeks while reviewing reports, then escalate to p=quarantine; pct=100, then p=reject. |
| Severity | High |
|---|---|
| Observed | Sequence uses "Quick question, {{first_name}}." This is a known low trust pattern. |
| Why it matters | Subject scoring penalizes generic curiosity bait. Paired with high volume sending, you land in promotions or worse. |
| Fix | Replace with a benefit anchored subject under 6 words. Three rewrites provided in Appendix B. |
We thought our copy was the problem. The audit showed our DMARC was wide open and our DKIM had not been rotated in 18 months. Two days of fixes later, placement jumped 41 percent.Lena R., Head of Outbound, B2B SaaS

AuditHire is a one person cold email audit service for B2B teams who would rather get a written report than book another call.
Audits are written by a senior deliverability reviewer with seven years of B2B cold email work, including agencies, in house teams, and inside the software for the tools you are using.
A written report is a better artifact than a meeting. You can reread it, share it, and reference it months later. We answer follow ups by email, fast but never on a clock.
We do not do retainers. We do not do hourly. We do not sell warmup tools. We do not refer you to "implementation partners" we own. The audit is the deliverable.
One thing, well. A thorough, written, prioritized cold email audit. Same checklist every time. Senior reviewer every time. Forty eight hours, every time.
Every claim in the report is anchored to an observable signal. A DNS record, a header, a deliverability test result, a copy pattern. Opinion belongs in the appendix.
You see what is blocking placement first, what is degrading reply rate second, and what is optional last. Implementation order is the deliverable.
Reports are written so a competent operator can implement without a meeting. Configuration values, exact strings, and rollout plans included.
The 12 point checklist is fixed. You can compare audits across domains, across months, and across teams. No moving goalposts.
