What's a good alternative to using Amazon SES directly?
Latest observation
A good alternative depends on what you want from SES, but the most common replacements are:
- SendGrid — very popular, easy API, good deliverability tooling, templates, and analytics.
- Mailgun — strong for transactional email, flexible APIs, good logs and webhook support.
- Postmark — excellent for transactional email specifically; simple and reliable.
- Brevo (Sendinblue) — good if you also want marketing emails and automation.
- SparkPost — solid for high-volume email and deliverability features.
- SMTP relay via your hosting provider — simplest if volume is low and you just need basic sending.
If you want a drop-in-ish SMTP/API alternative to SES, I’d usually suggest:
- Postmark for transactional email
- SendGrid for general-purpose use
- Mailgun for developer-friendly flexibility
If you want, I can also recommend the best option based on your use case:
- transactional vs marketing
- volume
- need for templates/webhooks
- AWS-native vs not

How can brands improve their AEO?

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
