Episode Summary: A rundown of G Suite (now Google Workspace) — what it is, how it works, and why professional email and the full Google office suite are a near-must-have for any brand or business.
What You'll Learn
What Is G Suite?
An all-in-one office and productivity suite from Google, built for small and large businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits, and anyone with a website. The headline feature: the power of Gmail running on your own domain, paired with an entire suite of office and communication tools comparable to Word, PowerPoint, and Excel — all branded to your business.
Cost: free to set up, then $5/user/month (or $60/year). A 14-day free trial with 20% off is available at signup.
How Does G Suite Work?
It's a bundle of services accessible from any web browser. Setting it up means changing your domain's DNS settings — specifically the MX records — to point your domain's mail routing to Google. Once that's done, you can send and receive mail as you@yourdomain.com.
