What is inbox placement rate? A Plain-English Guide

Inbox placement rate is the percentage of your delivered mail that actually reaches the inbox rather than spam. It is a truer measure of deliverability than the raw delivery rate.

Why it matters for deliverability

Understanding inbox placement rate is part of the metric that actually matters. Get it right and more of your mail reaches the inbox; get it wrong and even legitimate mail can be filtered.
