Business Email with Google Workspace

All business owners should have and use a business email address that matches your website domain, not a personal email address (such as @gmail.com or @mac.com, etc.). Reasons:

• It’s more credible and professional to your prospects.

• A business email address is required if you want to build an email list for your business. Email marketing platforms (Shopify Messaging, Mailchimp, etc.) will not even allow using a personal email address to send emails to subscribers.

• It’s also just a smart practice to keep your business email separate from your personal email account (similar to how you should have a business bank account separate from your personal bank account).

Establishing a business Google Workspace account after you’ve acquired a domain name is one the best and most affordable ways to make this happen. With Google Workspace, you can manage email on any device, run a business calendar, have a Drive space for files and sharing, add on other business apps such as Google Voice (business phone number), and more.

Prerequisite: This service is for Austen Agency website and/or support clients only that have a business domain name and website.

This set-up service includes updating DNS records on your website, setting up the account, testing your access, and 15 - 20 minutes of training. This account will also enable you to use Add-Ons like Google Search Console, Google Business Profile, set up a business YouTube Channel and more.

If you’re not a client, schedule a free 15-minute consultation so that we can evaluate your systems (this service requires access to your domain name provider).

How Pricing Works:

• One-Time Fee: You’ll pay a one-time $200 fee to Austen Agency for this set-up service, which includes updating DNS records on your website, setting up the account, testing your access, and 15 - 20 minutes of training. This account will also enable you to use Add-Ons like Email Marketing, Advanced Forms, link Google Search Console, and more.

• Ongoing Email Hosting Costs: The platform cost is separate and paid directly to Google Workspace since you will be the sole account owner. These costs are set by Google, not Austen Agency. The monthly cost for Google Workspace’s one email address Starter Plan is under $10/month. The price increases for two or more email addresses using the same domain name and depending on the capabilities you choose. We will walk you through these costs during the Initial Consultation.
