In this article, we shared a bit about how Google Workspace can help your business grow in the areas of fostering good communication. But, how can you set up Google Workspace? Here is a full guide on how you can set up Google Workspace for your business.
First, scan the various Google Workspace plans and pick the plan that best suits your business.
Google Workspace Plans
There is a plan for any business size or a plan to suit different business needs such as:
- Business Starter (priced at $6 per user/month)
- Business Standard (priced at $12 per user/month)
- Last plan on the list is Business Plus (priced at $18 per user/month)
Each plan varies from the other in terms of what it brings to the table; with the cheaper plans offering fewer features than the more expensive ones. Your choice solely depends on what you know your business needs or what your pocket can afford at the moment. See the Google Workspace website for details on what you get with each plan.
Admin Set up Guides
An admin on a Google Workspace account is the individual that signs up, manages users and settings on a workspace account. This can either be the business owner or a qualified personnel within the business setting. To use Google Workspace, your business or company must have a domain or be identifiable by the internet. Simply put, your business must have a website. If you do not have a domain name, Google will help set one up for you at no extra cost. Here are the steps to take while setting up Google Workspace:
- Open the Google Workspace website.
- Choose the number of staff you have on your business and the location of your business
- Type in your email address and full name. NOTE: The email used to set up Google Workspace will be the admin account.
- Input your customized domain name or request Google to help you set up a domain.
- Once you are done with these settings, follow closely what Google will request you to do next.
- You will be given access to the admin portal after the setup is complete. From there, you can add users and control the communication of your business. You can also add other admins to help with documenting the day-to-day operations of the business.
If you are the admin and want to train your staff on how to use Google Workspace and its various products, consider visiting the learning centre for more tools and resources.
