When someone fills out a form on your personal brand site—whether it’s a contact request, coaching inquiry, or collaboration opportunity—the message now sends from your own domain automatically.
This update is built directly into the Local Service Spotlight platform. It makes every site more professional and reliable by default, ensuring your messages land in your inbox instead of a spam folder. And here’s the best part: what most email providers charge $15–$20 a month for is now built in at no extra cost.
To be clear, this doesn’t replace tools like Google Workspace or your regular email inbox. It simply handles outgoing messages from your website, like contact form submissions—automatically and under your brand name.
The problem this fixes
Before this update, personal brand sites didn’t send emails out-of-the-box. Developers had to install and configure plugins or external tools to make contact forms work. It took extra time and could easily be missed during setup.
That caused three big issues for creators and professionals:
- Missed messages: Form submissions sometimes went straight to spam because they weren’t sent from the same domain as the website.
- Slow setup: Each site needed manual configuration, which delayed launches.
- Inconsistent reliability: With manual processes, some sites worked fine—others didn’t.
When your brand depends on quick responses and first impressions, that kind of inconsistency isn’t acceptable.
What’s new
Now, every personal brand site built on our platform automatically sends email through our integrated system, powered by Amazon Simple Email Service (SES).
Here’s what that means for you:
- Your messages get delivered. Because they’re sent from your verified domain, they’re far less likely to end up in spam.
- Your brand looks consistent. The “From” line matches your site and your identity, reinforcing trust with every interaction.
- You don’t have to do anything. There’s no plugin to install, no setup to complete—it’s all handled automatically when your site is created.
If your domain’s DNS is hosted with us, this happens entirely in the background. If it’s managed elsewhere, we’ll provide the small set of records that need to be added once. After that, everything just works.
A simple example
Take my own site as an example. When someone fills out the contact form on dylan-haugen.com, the message now comes straight to my inbox from contact@dylan-haugen.com—not a random sender address or system email.
That one change makes a big difference. I can reply directly from the thread without worrying about missed messages or deliverability issues. It feels seamless—like how a real professional brand should operate.
That’s the same experience every personal brand site owner on our platform now gets automatically.
Why it matters
This upgrade might seem small, but it closes one of the biggest gaps between looking professional and actually operating professionally online.
When your site represents you—your name, your expertise, your reputation—every interaction matters. A missed message or broken form can mean a lost client, a missed interview, or a dropped collaboration opportunity.
Now, that part of your brand communication is handled automatically and reliably, with no maintenance or setup required.
The takeaway
If your personal brand site is built through the Local Service Spotlight platform, it now sends all form messages directly from your domain. It’s automatic, secure, and designed to make sure you never miss a connection.
It’s one more step toward what we’re building here—a system that lets you shine online without having to worry about the tech behind it.
