The first step to utilizing Google’s services is creating an account.
Visit the following URL to start the process: https://workspace.google.com/business/signup/newbusiness
Click the Get a Gmail address button
Enter your first name and last name and click Next.
Who’s Information Should I Use?
Although this account will be used to manage your business, the Google account itself must be tied to a real person. Use the name and birthday of a trusted individual, such as the business owner or an employee responsible for your website, marketing, or online presence. Google may use this personal information to verify identity or assist with account recovery if needed.
Enter your birthday and gender and click Next.
Enter the email username you’d like to use for this account. This is the name you'll use when logging in. It's often a good idea to use your company name or something easily recognizable and business-related. When finished, click Next.
Create a strong password and click Next.
We strongly recommend using a password manager to create and store unique, randomly generated passwords for each of your online accounts. This greatly reduces the risk of your accounts being compromised through brute-force attacks or data breaches where shared passwords are leaked.
Add a recovery email address. In the event that you forget your login credentials, this can be used to recover your account. Make sure you verify that you have access to this account before entering it. While this step is optional it is highly recommended. When done, click Next.
Review your information and then click Next.
Review the privacy policy and terms and then click I agree.
