Fully managed — your brand logo in supported inboxes.
Your official company logo next to every email you send. Done-for-you, start to finish, no technical knowledge required.
If you want your emails to stand out in a crowded inbox and instantly look more trustworthy, this service does exactly that. I take care of the whole process for you, from the groundwork to the final certificate. No faff, no jargon, and no wrestling with DNS records or SVGs.
With this in place, your emails show your official company logo right next to your messages in supported inboxes. It gives you more credibility, improves recognition, and sends a clear signal that you're the real deal.
Brand Indicators for Message Identification. A standard that lets your official logo appear next to your emails in supported inboxes, working alongside your existing SPF, DKIM and DMARC authentication.
A digital certificate issued by an approved authority confirming your logo is officially yours and trademarked. Allows your full brand logo to appear in inbox previews — like a verified badge for your emails.
Similar to a VMC but designed for businesses without a registered trademark. Quicker and cheaper to issue, making it ideal for smaller businesses.
BIMI is the framework that displays your logo. VMC is the top-level certificate for trademarked logos. CMC is the alternative for non-trademarked logos. All three work together to make your emails look trustworthy and instantly recognisable.
All required DNS records set up so your domain is ready for BIMI. Most businesses get stuck here. You won't have to.
Essential for BIMI to work. I make sure your domain is fully aligned and passes enforcement safely.
BIMI needs a very specific type of logo. I handle the formatting, exporting and compliance — even if you already have an SVG, certain code will need adding or changing.
The official certificate you need for your logo to be displayed. I work directly with the certificate provider on your behalf.
Everything tested and confirmed to be displaying correctly before you go live.
If anything changes with your domain or hosting in future, I'll help get it all back on track.

BIMI and VMC work together to prove that you own your domain, your emails are authenticated, your logo is trademarked or officially verified, and you're not spoofing or pretending to be someone else.
Inbox providers love this because it reduces phishing and improves security. As a result, your emails look more authoritative, and you often see higher open rates because your brand becomes instantly recognisable at a glance. It's like having a blue tick sitting next to every email you send.

In most cases, yes for a full VMC, but there are newer options like Common Mark Certificates that can help if you don't have one. I'll explain the options during our chat.
It shows in inboxes that support BIMI. Apple Mail, Yahoo and others already support it, and adoption is growing. Gmail shows it only with a VMC — this is also what triggers the blue tick.
It contributes to trust signals, which can help. But the main benefit is credibility and visibility in the inbox.
Usually a couple of weeks depending on how quickly the certificate authority processes things.
Yes. It covers the certificate, my time, updates, fixes and ongoing support. Future domain changes aren't included as these often require a fresh setup — I'm happy to quote separately for that.
Just let me know and I'll make the necessary adjustments.
