Why FunnelTechie

Built from the infrastructure up.

Matt Ratliff is the founder of FunnelTechie, specializing in email infrastructure, deliverability, and automation.

Before moving into email full time, Matt spent more than 20 years as a network engineer designing and troubleshooting enterprise infrastructure. His background includes Cisco networking and security, along with building and operating mail systems using Exchange, Sendmail, Exim, and Postfix.

Since founding FunnelTechie, Matt has worked with agencies, SaaS companies, marketers, and high-volume senders to diagnose and repair the systems behind email performance: sender reputation, DNS and authentication, domain and IP architecture, inbox placement, engagement, automation, and the infrastructure connecting it all.

Email infrastructure

DNS, authentication, sending-domain and IP architecture, mailbox-provider reputation, and inbox placement.

Automation systems

HighLevel workflows, event routing, webhooks, APIs, and the logic that prevents pipeline failures.

Diagnostic products

Tools that expose authentication, inbox-placement, engagement, and configuration issues that sending platforms often obscure.

Implementation and monitoring

Audits, migrations, remediation, pre-send testing, and ongoing operational support.

Migration Case Study

A Seamless Move from 14 Years of Infusionsoft to GoHighLevel

Pia needed to move a mature email operation to GoHighLevel without putting inbox placement at risk. Matt took technical ownership of the migration, translated the moving parts clearly, and kept the project moving from start to finish.

“He did the move seamlessly… our email deliverability is top-notch right now.”Pia Silva · GoHighLevel Migration Client

The Problem

Email Deliverability Is Broken for Most Senders

You built the funnel. You wrote the copy. But your emails never reach the inbox — regardless of which platform you use.

Emails Going to Spam

Your campaigns, automations, and transactional emails are landing in junk folders across Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo. Leads never see your messages and revenue disappears.

Sending Platform Flagged

Your domain or IP is blacklisted on Mailgun, SendGrid, or another provider. Reputation is tanking and you have no idea how to recover it without starting over.

Open Rates Tanking

You used to get 40%+ open rates. Now you are lucky to hit 15%. Your deliverability infrastructure is silently failing and costing you money every single day.

The Solution

A Complete Email Deliverability Infrastructure

Not a quick fix. A full ecosystem of tools, services, and expertise built to work across every major email sending platform.

DNS Authentication Setup

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS configured correctly from day one. Works with any registrar and any sending platform.

Multi-Platform Optimization

Dedicated IP warm-up, reputation monitoring, and bounce management tuned for Mailgun, SendGrid, SocketLabs, Postmark, and GHL.

Deliverability Monitoring

Ongoing inbox placement testing, blacklist monitoring, and proactive issue resolution across all major mailbox providers.

Custom Tooling
