    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Update SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records for new domain email sending.
    2. Change form notification recipient and reply-to domains as necessary.
    3. Revise Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn destination URLs to new domain.
    4. Update social profile links and partner directory references.
    5. Adjust analytics filters, referral exclusions, and goal/conversion URLs.

    Watch for

    Unupdated SPF/DKIM/DMARC break email delivery; broken links harm ads and forms.

    Definition of done

    Email records, ad URLs, form notifications, and analytics settings reflect new domain.
