Navigate to Marketing > Brand Settings > Pro Domain and Email.
Select "Visit Store" (lower right) to buy a custom domain for your agency.
Step 1: Purchase Your Google Workspace Plan
Choose a Google Workspace plan (e.g., Business Starter, Business Standard) that suits your needs.
Connect it to your existing domain during the Google Workspace purchase process.
Complete the checkout (e.g., via PayPal Standard).
After purchase, check your email for an "Important information" email from Google.
Step 2: Create Your First Google Workspace Admin Account
Create a contact in Umbrella:
In your Umbrella Dashboard, click "Add contact."
Fill in the details. Use an email address that you can access for activation codes (preferably the same one associated with your Umbrella account).
Check Your Email Inbox (the one used for the Umbrella contact):
Look for an email from the Google Workspace Team.
This email will contain a link and instructions to create a password and log into the Google Admin Console. Click the link and set up your password.
Step 3: Initial Google Workspace Admin Console Setup
Sign in to the Google Admin Console using your newly created admin email and password.
Accept the Terms of Service by clicking "I understand."
You are now in the Admin Console. The next crucial step is domain verification.
Step 4: Verifying Your Domain in Google Workspace
In the Google Admin Console, navigate to the "Verify Domain" section.
Follow the on-screen instructions:
Click "Next."
Select "Protect."
Click "I am ready to protect my domain."
Choose "View Generic Instructions" for detailed steps on how to add a TXT record to your domain's DNS settings.
Add the provided TXT record to your domain's DNS settings (accessed via the "Accessing Your Domain's DNS Settings in Umbrella" steps above). This record confirms your ownership of the domain to Google.
