BIMI readiness
How SealedMail checks your BIMI record honestly, and tells you whether it is worth pursuing before the fundamentals are in place.
BIMI puts your verified logo in the inbox, but only once the fundamentals are in place. Here is what SealedMail checks, honestly.
Watch: BIMI in plain English
What BIMI is
BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) displays your verified logo beside your emails in supporting inboxes such as Gmail and Apple Mail. For the full detail, see our guide: What is BIMI?
Why it matters to your business
BIMI is a visibility and trust feature, not a security control. It requires DMARC at enforcement first, a correctly formatted SVG logo, and, for Gmail and Apple Mail, a Verified or Common Mark Certificate (typically £700 to £1,500 per year).
How SealedMail monitors it
We check your BIMI record presence and validity in every health check and weekly report. SealedMail does not sell or manage BIMI certificates.
What commonly goes wrong
For most customers, BIMI is poor value until core DMARC and TLS controls are fully in place, and often after that too. It is always checked, never oversold.

Scope: reporting only
SealedMail monitors, interprets and reports. It does not change your DNS, configure your systems, or remediate problems. Your reports tell you clearly what is wrong and what kind of fix is needed, and the changes remain in your hands (or your IT provider’s). That boundary keeps the service simple, affordable and honest.
