What is BIMI?
BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) displays your verified brand logo next to authenticated emails in supporting clients (Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo). It's both a trust signal and a deliverability nudge — but it only works on top of strong email authentication.
Requirements
- A DMARC policy of p=quarantine or p=reject (BIMI won't show at p=none).
- A square SVG logo (SVG Tiny PS) hosted over HTTPS, referenced with l=.
- For Gmail/Apple, a VMC (Verified Mark Certificate), referenced with a=.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a VMC?
Gmail and Apple Mail require a VMC (a paid certificate proving you own the trademark). Some other clients display BIMI from just the SVG logo.
Why isn't my logo showing?
Most often DMARC isn't at quarantine/reject yet, the logo isn't valid SVG Tiny PS, or the VMC is missing/expired.
Where does the BIMI record go?
As a TXT record at default._bimi.yourdomain.com (the selector is usually 'default').
