HOW TO AVOID BEING MARKED AS SPAM BY GMAIL

Examine the domain name

Every fraudulent domain name is recorded by Google Mail. If your domain has been blacklisted, it will be put to spam right away. Check if your domain is blocked with this useful tool.

Analyze an email's content

To identify spam, Google Mail examines the language and spelling of emails. This is why you should proofread all emails before sending them and make sure that there are not too many trigger words, even though the odd one or two will not cause your email to be marked as spam, it is still worth checking. Poorly formatted emails that contain spelling errors are not good for the recipient.

Avoid attachments and share links to cloud storage instead

Gmail is aware of this and has developed advanced mechanisms to detect dangerous attachments, but spammers are still out there. You might consider sharing links with Google Workspace instead of huge files.

Check your email header

Although Gmail is the safest email service, you may check your email header by selecting More in Gmail and then Show original.

Spammers have been known to modify email heads

The easiest strategy to prevent spam filters from classifying your email is to ask the recipient to add you to their whitelist. Gmail reads this as a sign that the recipient trusts both you and your domain name.
