# Reduce Spam Labeling Risk

> Practical checklist for lowering spam-labeling risk on outbound campaigns.

Spam labeling is influenced by carrier behavior, list quality, cadence, and consent. Use this checklist before you scale an outbound campaign.

## Before You Launch

1. Use the correct outbound number for the campaign and region.
2. Confirm your contact source is consent-based and current.
3. Set reasonable call cadence and retry rules.
4. Launch with a smaller sample before using the full audience.
5. Review answer rates, outcomes, and complaints immediately after launch.

## Good Operating Habits

* Match numbers to the audience when possible.
* Keep call windows aligned to appropriate local hours.
* Remove bad or blocked contacts quickly.
* Monitor DNC compliance and suppression lists.
* Pause the campaign if answer rates drop sharply or complaint volume rises.

## Rules

* ALWAYS respect consent and compliance requirements for the target campaign.
* NEVER scale a campaign before validating the flow on a smaller sample.
