See the workflow before you buy
Review the handoff style first: technical walkthrough plus written summary. Real process, real output.
Every delivery includes a Loom walkthrough and a written configuration summary. You receive documentation of what was done, why, and how to maintain it.
Most outbound problems begin before the first email is sent
Poor inbox placement, unexpected spam filtering, and domain reputation damage are rarely caused by copy or timing. They're caused by the technical foundation underneath the campaign.
Missing authentication
Domains without properly configured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are treated as suspicious by receiving mail servers — regardless of content quality.
Misconfigured DNS
Incorrect record syntax, duplicate SPF lookups, or missing alignment between records often go unnoticed until deliverability deteriorates.
Untested mailbox structure
Mailboxes not properly warmed, not connected to outbound tools correctly, or operating without a sending subdomain create avoidable long-term risk.
Technical guesswork
Setting up infrastructure without a clear method often means revisiting the same problems repeatedly — each time the cost is paid in reputation.
What Qold Setup covers
Three concise deliverable groups.
Technical foundation
The infrastructure layer that determines whether your email is trusted by receiving servers.
- Sending domain or subdomain configuration
- DNS record setup and validation
- SPF, DKIM, DMARC configured and validated
Outbound readiness
Connecting the infrastructure to your sending workflow and validating the mailbox is ready to operate.
- Mailbox readiness guidance
- Basic outbound tool connection (Instantly, Smartlead, or similar)
- Sending configuration validation
Final handoff
Documentation that allows you to understand, audit, and maintain the setup independently after delivery.
- Loom walkthrough of completed setup
- Written configuration summary
- Maintenance notes
Secure access, clear async process
No plain-text password sharing by default. Delegated or temporary access preferred. Client control retained throughout.
Delegated access — not shared credentials
Plain-text password sharing is not the standard workflow. Where possible, access is handled through delegated admin roles, temporary collaborator invitations, or provider-specific access mechanisms — not by receiving your primary account password.
Minimum required access, nothing more
Access is requested only at the level needed for the specific task. If DNS configuration requires only DNS access, that is what is requested. You will not be asked for broader access than the scope requires.
You retain full control throughout
You grant access and you can revoke it. The workflow is designed so you remain the primary account holder at all times. After delivery, temporary access can be removed — and we'll indicate when it's safe to do so.
Explicit completion and revocation point
You'll be notified exactly when the setup is complete and when access can be revoked. The written summary will document what was accessed, what was changed, and why.
From purchase to handoff
Purchase Qold Setup
Complete the checkout. You'll receive immediate access to the onboarding page — no call, no intake meeting.
Complete the onboarding form
The form collects your domain, DNS provider, email provider, and outbound tool details. Clear guidance is provided for each field.
Share required access
Following the access workflow described above — delegated or temporary, minimum scope, your control retained throughout.
Receive Loom + written handoff
Setup is completed and documented. You receive a full Loom walkthrough and a written configuration summary. Access can be revoked.
The onboarding form specifies required access by provider. No guessing.
If we can't complete the setup, you don't pay.
This guarantee is scope-based, not outcome-based. We cannot and do not promise perfect inbox placement, guaranteed deliverability rates, or campaign performance — those depend on factors well beyond technical configuration.
What we do guarantee: if the contracted setup cannot be completed within the original technical scope due to factors on our side, you receive a full refund. No negotiation, no partial credit.
What this covers: inability to complete DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, or tool connection as described in the scope.
What this does not cover: campaign results, inbox placement rates, or scope items outside what is listed.
What correct setup looks like
Two compact before/after examples.
DMARC record missing
No DMARC record found at _dmarc.example.com DMARC deployed — p=quarantine
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@example.com; adkim=s; aspf=s SPF exceeds lookup limit
PermError: too many DNS lookups (11 > 10) SPF flattened — 4 lookups

Before you buy
Do I need to get on a call before or after purchase?
No. The entire process — from onboarding to delivery — is async. There are no discovery calls, intake calls, or onboarding sessions. If you have a pre-purchase question about scope or fit, you can email hello@qoldsetup.com and receive a written response.
How long does delivery take?
3–5 business days from the point access is confirmed and the onboarding form is complete. Delays are most commonly caused by incomplete onboarding forms or access that takes time to provision on the client's end.
What access do you actually need?
It depends on your provider combination. Typically: DNS zone access (via Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, or similar) and, if applicable, email provider admin access (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, etc.). The onboarding form will specify exactly what's needed based on your setup. Delegated or temporary access is preferred over password sharing.
What if our setup is more complex than standard?
The scope is fixed. If your setup introduces complexity outside what the scope covers — for example, multiple sending domains, enterprise provider configurations, or custom DKIM selectors per sending tool — those items may not be covered. Scope edge cases can be discussed via email before purchase. If a purchased setup cannot be completed within the scope, the refund guarantee applies.
Do you support my DNS or email provider?
Common DNS providers (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, Route 53, Google Domains) and email providers (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail) are supported. Outbound tool connections currently cover Instantly, Smartlead, and Apollo at the basic level. If your provider is unusual, email before purchase to confirm.
What is the refund policy?
The guarantee is scope-based. If the contracted setup cannot be completed within the original technical scope due to factors on our side, you receive a full refund. The guarantee does not cover campaign outcomes, inbox placement rates, or scope items not listed in the offer. If you have a question about whether your situation qualifies, email before purchase.
Build on a foundation that works.
A correct technical setup is not a competitive advantage — it's the minimum requirement for outbound to function. Qold Setup gets that foundation in place, documented, and handed off. No calls. Fixed scope. Async delivery.
