Depois de criar um site, a primeira coisa que todo proprietário de empresa precisa é de um endereço de e-mail profissional com o nome da empresa.
Um endereço de e-mail profissional o ajudará a ganhar confiança ao lidar com outras empresas e clientes. O Google Workspace (anteriormente conhecido como G Suite) é um pacote de produtividade que permite usar o Gmail com seu próprio endereço de e-mail profissional.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como configurar um endereço de e-mail profissional e personalizado com o Gmail e o Workspace.
O que é um endereço de e-mail profissional?
Um endereço de e-mail profissional é aquele que contém o nome de sua empresa. Por exemplo, john@myphotostudio.com é um endereço de e-mail profissional.
As contas de e-mail em serviços de e-mail gratuitos, como john.photographer@gmail.com, não são tão boas para os negócios porque não têm aparência profissional. Seus clientes e outras empresas acharão um endereço de e-mail profissional mais confiável.
Para ter um endereço de e-mail profissional, você precisará de um nome de domínio e de um site. Temos guias passo a passo sobre como escolher um nome de domínio e como criar um site rapidamente.
Se você já tem um nome de domínio e um site, então está pronto para configurar seu próprio endereço de e-mail profissional.
Por que usar o Google Workspace para um endereço de e-mail profissional com a sua marca?
Você pode estar pensando: por que usar o Google Workspace quando a maioria das empresas de hospedagem WordPress oferece contas de e-mail ilimitadas com seu próprio nome de domínio?
O e-mail é uma das ferramentas de comunicação mais importantes para os proprietários de empresas. Se você perder um e-mail importante, isso pode prejudicar seus negócios.
Muitos servidores de e-mail de hospedagem na Web não são confiáveis, são restritivos, isolados e menos seguros. Você nem mesmo saberá se o e-mail que enviou foi realmente entregue.
É aqui que entram o Google Workspace e o Gmail.
O Gmail é o líder do setor de e-mail, com mais de 1,8 bilhão de usuários ativos. O Google Workspace é o pacote de aplicativos de produtividade do Google para proprietários de empresas, que inclui o Gmail e é usado por mais de 6 milhões de empresas.
O Google Workspace funciona com seu próprio nome de domínio, o que permite que você use o Gmail para criar seu endereço de e-mail profissional com a sua marca.
Aqui estão alguns dos benefícios de usar o Workspace e o Gmail para obter um endereço de e-mail profissional:
- Endereço de e-mail comercial profissional em seu próprio domínio
- Segurança sólida e filtros de spam do Gmail
- Armazenamento de 30 GB a ilimitado
- Gerencie e-mails mesmo quando estiver off-line usando o aplicativo do Gmail em dispositivos móveis
- Funciona em qualquer lugar: web, celular, tablet, etc.
- Funciona muito bem com o Outlook e pode até mesmo sincronizar contas antigas do Outlook
- Cada usuário pode ter até 30 aliases de e-mail
- Use o Google Agenda e o Google Meet para bate-papo, vídeo e chamadas de voz usando seu próprio endereço de e-mail comercial
- Sem anúncios e com suporte profissional 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, sempre que você precisar de ajuda
- Funciona perfeitamente com seu site WordPress
- O mais importante de tudo: alta capacidade de entrega, sem atrasos e sem acabar na pasta de spam
Agora que você sabe por que é importante usar o Google Workspace para e-mails profissionais, vamos dar uma olhada em como configurar um endereço de e-mail profissional com a sua marca.
Nota do editor: Usamos o Google Workspace para todos os nossos endereços de e-mail profissionais e podemos dizer honestamente que é o melhor.
Configuração de um endereço de e-mail profissional com o Gmail (Workspace)
Primeiro, você precisará se inscrever em uma conta do Google Workspace.
O preço inicial é de US$ 6/mês para cada usuário, cobrado anualmente. O Google também oferece uma avaliação gratuita de 14 dias, que permite que você teste tudo antes de se decidir.
Basicamente, você obtém todos os recursos avançados com os quais está acostumado no Gmail, Drive, Calendar e outros, mas agora eles são para a sua empresa.
Basta acessar o site do Google Workspace e clicar no botão “Começar” do plano que você deseja usar.
Em seguida, você precisa inserir o nome da sua empresa, selecionar o número de funcionários e o país onde está localizado.
Você pode escolher a opção “Só você” para uma conta de usuário ou selecionar o número de funcionários.
Quando terminar, clique no botão “Next” (Avançar) para continuar.
Na próxima etapa, será solicitado que você insira suas informações pessoais de contato, incluindo seu nome e endereço de e-mail.
Depois disso, você será solicitado a escolher um nome de domínio. Se você já tiver um nome de domínio, clique na opção “Yes, I have one I can use”.
Caso contrário, você deve clicar em “Não, eu preciso de um” para registrar um nome de domínio.
Para este tutorial, usaremos a opção “Yes, I have one I can use”.
É importante observar que, se você precisar registrar um novo nome de domínio, será cobrado separadamente pelo registro de um novo nome de domínio.
Dica profissional: veja aqui como registrar um nome de domínio gratuitamente.
Em seguida, você precisará inserir o nome de domínio da sua empresa e clicar no botão “Next” (Avançar).
Depois disso, o Google confirmará seu nome de domínio.
Continue e clique no botão “Next” (Avançar).
Na próxima tela, o Google perguntará se você deseja manter-se atualizado com dicas úteis, ofertas especiais e muito mais.
Você pode clicar no botão “Ok” ou “Não, obrigado” para seguir em frente.
Depois disso, você também pode optar por enviar aos usuários informações sobre o Google Workspace e seus recursos.
Se você quiser optar por essa opção, clique no botão “OK”.
Na próxima etapa, será solicitado que você crie sua conta de usuário do Google Workspace inserindo um nome de usuário e uma senha.
Esse nome de usuário também será seu primeiro endereço de e-mail profissional. Portanto, você precisa escolher um nome de usuário adequado e profissional.
Após inserir os detalhes, você deve verificar a caixa reCAPTCHA e clicar no botão “Agree and continue”.
Agora você criou sua conta do Workspace com sucesso. Agora você pode clicar no botão “Continue to setup”.
Na próxima tela, será solicitado que você faça login na sua conta recém-criada.
Depois de fazer login, você precisará concordar com os serviços do Google. Basta clicar no botão “Eu entendo” para continuar.
Agora você pode seguir as instruções na tela para concluir a configuração.
Quando isso for feito, você verá o console do administrador.
A próxima etapa é verificar seu domínio.
Verificação de seu domínio no Google Workspace
Se você registrou seu nome de domínio em outro lugar, agora será solicitado que você verifique a propriedade dele.
No painel de administração do Google Workspace, basta clicar na opção “Verificar domínio”.
Como alternativa, você também pode ir para Conta ” Domínios ” Gerenciar domínios no menu à esquerda.
A partir daí, basta clicar na opção “Verify domain” (Verificar domínio).
Na próxima tela, será solicitado que você localize os registros ou as configurações de DNS do host do seu domínio.
Para este tutorial, usaremos o Bluehost. No entanto, o Google detectará automaticamente o host do seu domínio.
Você pode clicar no link para abrir as configurações de hospedagem e, em seguida, clicar na opção “Next: Go to Step 2” na parte inferior.
Em seguida, você precisará fazer login no seu provedor de hospedagem.
Na Bluehost, você pode ir para Domains (Domínios ) no painel esquerdo e, em seguida, rolar para baixo até a opção “Advanced Tools” (Ferramentas avançadas).
Isso expandirá as ferramentas e mostrará os servidores de nomes e os registros de DNS.
Depois disso, basta clicar no link “Manage” (Gerenciar) na frente de Advanced DNS Records (Registros DNS avançados).
Aqui, você encontrará os registros DNS do seu site.
Vá em frente e clique no botão “+ Add Record” (Adicionar registro).
Depois disso, você precisará inserir os detalhes do TXT.
Aqui estão os detalhes que você precisa inserir:
- Registro do anfitrião: @
- Valor TXT: Código de verificação do site do Google
- TTL: 4 horas (min)
Você pode encontrar os detalhes do registro TXT nas configurações do Google Workspace.
Basta alternar para a janela ou guia em que as configurações estão abertas e, na etapa “Adicionar registro de verificação”, você verá todos os detalhes.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Salvar” quando terminar.
Depois de salvar o registro TXT na Bluehost, basta clicar na opção “Protect Domain” (Proteger domínio).
Levará alguns segundos para verificar os detalhes. Quando isso for feito, você verá uma mensagem informando que seu domínio está protegido.
Clique no botão “Continue”.
Você será direcionado para as configurações de “Gerenciar domínios” no console de administração do Google Workspace. Você deverá ver o status do seu domínio mudar para “Verificado”.
Usando seu e-mail profissional com o Workspace e o Gmail
Sua conta de e-mail funciona como qualquer outra conta do Gmail. Você pode acessá-la visitando o Gmail e fazendo login com seu endereço de e-mail, como john@yourdomain.com.
Você também pode gerenciar sua conta do Google Workspace visitando o Admin Console.
Na seção “Users” (Usuários), basta clicar em “Manage” (Gerenciar). É aqui que você pode adicionar/remover novos usuários ao seu nome de domínio.
Cada um dos seus usuários terá pelo menos 30 GB de armazenamento ou o armazenamento definido no seu plano de preços, juntamente com todos os mesmos recursos. No entanto, eles não terão acesso ao console do administrador. Você também pode remover esses usuários a qualquer momento.
Solução de problemas de configuração do domínio do Google Workspace
Seu host da Web pode não estar usando um painel como o que mostramos nas capturas de tela acima.
O Google Workspace tem documentação detalhada para muitos dos provedores de serviços populares de hospedagem na Web e registro de domínio. Basta acessar a página Ativar o Gmail para o Google Workspace e localizar o registrador de domínios ou o host da Web na lista.
Se você não encontrar seu provedor de serviços na lista, peça diretamente a ele que o ajude a configurar o Google Workspace para seu nome de domínio.

I think having email in our own personal domain is crucial for a professional look. It is dirt cheap, but it really looks way better.
I also suggest having many mail accounts on your own domain for different purposes. One casual for everyday use, one professional with your full name, and one or two for additional things related to our business like newsletters and accounts or subscriptions. It really helps separate all of those things, and I personally prefer that over folders and such organization.
Moinuddin waheed says
Having a professional email address increases the branding value in visitors mind. I have not used professional email because I thought we can’t receive emails from professional email I’d to our Gmail account.
if we don’t purchase gsuit and want to add our domain email to Gmail so that we can receive emails directly in our Gmail account, is there a way to do so?
WPBeginner Support says
You could try checking if Gmail’s check mail from another account works with your domain’s email for what it sounds like you are wanting to do.
Administrador
John says
If you’ve configured the MX records through Gsuite and added them to your webhosts DNS editor, do you also need to then configure Gsuite through a plugin such as WP Mail SMTP on your actual website?
WPBeginner Support says
If you wanted to send your mail on your WordPress site then we would recommend using an SMTP plugin.

I am a little confused (I am not tech savvy). You say “Setup a Professional Email Address with Gmail and G Suite”, I have a Gmail account but I only see instructions for G Suite. So am I to assume this can only be done with just the G Suite and NOT a Gmail account?
WPBeginner Support says
Correct, you would use G Suite to have a Gmail account for your branded email address.
Administrador
Michael Shaw says
Gmail and G-suit are both are effective for business. But when it comes to business it’s email ID matters a lot. So, using a professional mail ID that could more trustable to persons in business matters as that ID contains a business name.
WPBeginner Support says
Correct, and G Suite allows you to create an email address with your business name
Administrador
Brendan Ryan says
I use G-suite for my Domain mail routing in exactly this way. I set it up a couple of years ago when I was looking to give a more professional appearance but primarily to increase deliverability. Less warnings to recipients about “Sever could not verify your-domain.com was the actual sender”
I have a G-suite account where I am the only user. But it does allow you to add any other Domains you happen to own. When you do this , you then get to set up MX records for each of those additional domains and Google then serves the mail. At this point you add the extra domains as part of the primary G-suite Domain Organization. I have google routed mail addresses for each one of those dot coms and Google verifies the secure layer. And yes i do Use WP MAIL SMTP plugin on each of those sites also. All of this and 30GB storage on Drive for AU$5 a month. I am about to up the ante and go the next level at $10 per month which gives me additional function but primarily the 1TB – Unlimited storage on Drive.
WPBeginner Support says
Thanks for sharing your reasons for using G-suite for your domain for others looking

Are there any places that do business emails for say, 16 total different dot com business domains that I already have? Who would those be if so, please? Also, do any of these paid services have monthly billing options, or are they all annual subscription billing only? I’d really be interested if anyone knew of any free sites that allow you a business email dot com for your current domain names, again, I need about 16 different email dot coms on it and am on a fixed income searching for the lowest price or at least a low monthly fee rather than having to pay a whole year up front. Thank you!
WPBeginner Support says
You may want to check with your hosting/domain provider if they offer something like that where you could forward the emails without the concern with billing.

Beware of using google for your business. Someone hacked our account and google shut us down for “violating google policies”….
We can’t access any of our emails or any history or communication for our company. Everything we built is destroyed. THERE NOT EVEN AN EMAIL AT GOOGLE TO CONTACT… worst company we ever dealt with. Beware… this can happen to you!

‘Scroll down and you will find MX Records. There would be one or more entries there. You need to delete all of them.’
I done this and now my website is down for 24-48 hours until the dns records propagate through the web. This deletes pointers to where your domain is held!
Derek says
This isn’t true. MS records only effect your email and during the time it takes to propagate the original value still holds. So your email may continue to go wherever it had gone before for up to 2 days. (Almost all modern systems will update in a few hours.)

I’ve had my gmail account since 2011. I didn’t sign up for (Google Apps at the time) G Suite back then. Can I be grandfathered into getting a free business email domain since I had a gmail account before the 2012 price implementation to upgrade?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Cory,
Nope, we don’t think that would work. You can still ask on GSuite support forums for more information.

How can i maintain my email address
Ragnhild Margreth Nordlund says
Why on earth do you hide yourself? Why make it so difficult to get in touch with you?
And, why do I not get my e-mails? And why do I get så many “failures” (mislykket)?
Why do you send me failure messages when I send to correct e-mail addresses?
I am fed up with you.
Perhaps time to find myself some other e-mail company?

Yvette says
Hi, thank for your this detailed walk-through; only thing, (maybe I’m just slow/dunce; I did read through the entire article btw), but I’m unsure about this: if I sign up for business email with GSuite/Google apps and I respond to an email sent to the business email, the client will see the business email, right?
You see, I’m new to this owning your website business. I have a subdomain.wordpress.com website (I plan on upgrading to my own domain soon) and I know the upgraded WP offers business emails, but when I read the info. on the WP site, no where does it say that when I respond to a client’s message, that the client will see the business email; it looks like the client will see my own/non-business email.
Eg. Let’s say my business is wpbeginner and I upgraded to WP’s business plan and I selected the email: hello (at) wpbeginner to forward emails to my actual/non-business email: justanexample (a) gmail.
If a client hits the ‘contact’ button on my site and/or sends an email to hello (at) wpbeginner, when I reply, will the client see hello (at) wpbeginner or will the client see prettylady (a) gmail? That’s what I don’t understand.
I have this same question for Google apps.
I want to make sure I do the correct thing; if it is that the client will see my non-business email when I respond, then getting a WP business email doesn’t make sense.
But on Google apps, the client *will* see my *business* email when I respond, correct?
Thank you for clarifying.
WPBeginner Support says
Clients will see your business address when you reply to them.

I have purchased an 30 days trial.
Now when I am trying for billing, it is automatically showing me this on
(HOW YOU PAY:
Automatic payments: Pay after your ads run. Your ads typically start running almost right after you submit billing details. You pay only after you accrue costs, via an automatic charge when you reach your billing threshold or 30 days after your last automatic payment, whichever comes first. Learn more
Manual payments: Pay before your ads run. Your ads typically start running after we process your first payment. We deduct charges from your prepaid balance each time your account accrues a cost. If your account runs out of funds, your ads stop running until you make another payment. Learn more)
Now, I just wanna purchase an Professional email not this Ad service account what should I do

Contact Google customer support from your account dashboard.

I believe you were routed to the AdWords page. As for the Apps payment, or Email payment, basic is like $3/user and also the payment can be automatic if you put a card. You can also deposit an amount minimum of $10.

No explanation. I can’t click on it to get more details. when I click on the listed “help center” link under the google setup steps, I got a 403 error.
Is it because bluehost only lets us set min. TTL at 14400 and google asks for it to be 3600?

Hi – I appreciate the article and decided to give Google Apps for Work a try because I’ve had many issues with the current email service I currently use for my business mail and also for my clients business mail as well as their website service provider.
FYI: The only issue I have at this point is that the coupon code provided in this article was only valid for a single user (which I guess was first come firs served). I contacted Google who would not honor the 20% off offer.
Christine Tabor says
Excellent step by step… I’m going to definitely save this…
So, to confirm… if I am the only one accessing the email… then other alias’ I set up, e.g. info@, sales@, etc., do not incur a charge as another user… correct?
How difficult to sync with Outlook… especially if you want updates to be global… and and Outlook uses folders and Google apps/gmail does not… any issues?
Finally… I’m building out my next site on a subdomain.domain.com right now… would I be able to go ahead and set up the email or should I wait until I migrate the site and turn on the search engine, etc.?
Christine
WPBeginner Support says
Christine, yes that is correct aliases do not incur charges as separate user. For Outlook you can use Google Apps Sync tool for Microsoft Outlook. You can also add your Google Apps account as an IMAP or POP account to your Outlook mail. If you have access to domain’s DNS records, then you can set it up.

As always, thanks for the awesome tutorial. Always wanted to do this to use our own domain for emails, but never had the time to research. Now i don’t have to research, you already have the info i need here for new email addresses, thanks!
I just have one question, what happens to my old/existing email addresses using my domain? How do i migrate them?
WPBeginner Support says
If you are the only person using those email addresses then you can add them as email aliases. If other users use those email addresses, then you will need to add them as users in Google Apps Admin Console.

Thank you for this tutorial. When I add aliases, do they have to be al @yourdomain.com or can they be totally different? I have a few different websites and would rather not have a separate Google Apps for Work account (& fee) for each. Thanks again!
Katherine says
They have added multiple domain support to Google Apps, but there are A LOT of restrictions and issues associated with it.
And what really sucks is those of us with legacy accounts can’t add multiple domains. So much for the early adoption bonus.
Kim says
I have created a Google Apps Work account (example.com) and have 5 users … one is my son shane@example.com … he has a youtube business and has used a free gmail account for this business for a few years username@gmail.com … I thought that I could simply add username@gmail.com as a send from and send to account so that Shane can stay logged into his shane@example.com email and view ALL emails coming in from shane@example.com and username@gmail.com …. this seems like it would be a VERY common requirement but I cannot get it to work!! Ironically, I have no problem adding a NON gmail account as a send from and send to account. Does ANYONE know how to set this up using a Google Apps Work account and adding a free gmail account?
WPBeginner Support says
Instead of change Send From and Reply to fields, you can also setup forwarding. Open the Google Apps email account and go to Settings -> Forwarding and add the gmail address. Similarly you can setup forwarding on free gmail account to forward all mail to the Google Apps account.
Aziz says
amazing Guide and rich info, just wondering if you can suggest a free one until i can afford to buy from google thanks said
subha says
I agree
Radu says
Yes, thank you for the article… However a very important aspect has been left out I think.
Setting up the MX record in the actual domain handler.. This is a crucial piece of the puzzle, this way you can have complete control over the email and there is no connection to the webhost.
They way to do it is to temporarily park the domain so you can access the DNS manager inside:
1. Park domain – i.e. with godaddy just put the default NS records or “set to default”
2. Go to the DNS file zone editor and post the host to your webhost IP
3. And now add the mail exchanger info
So this way I think your email address with google aps is 100% independent.
Or this is not the way to do this? Please confirm.
WPBeginner Support says
Yes, this is correct and we have mentioned it in the article above. You need to delete existing MX entries from your domain and add Google MX records.
