Home / Business Email Setup
Google Workspace · Microsoft 365 · Domainsyou@yourbusiness.ca looks a lot better on a quote than yourbusiness123@gmail.com. We register or sort out your domain, set up Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, move your old email over, and set up the records that stop your emails landing in spam.
Everything in your name, with the logins handed over. Quick, one-time setup for most small businesses.
Why it matters
A real business email tells customers you're established. A free webmail address can make them wonder.
Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook are strict about email that isn't properly authenticated. Without the right records, your quotes can end up in spam.
When staff leave, their email stays with your business, not with them.
What's included
Your domain registered in your name (not a past web designer's), with renewal and login details handed over.
We help you pick, then set up your mailboxes, aliases (like info@ and quotes@) and shared inboxes.
Old emails, contacts and calendars moved from Gmail, Outlook.com, your old host or GoDaddy where possible.
Help getting it working on your phone, laptop and the apps you use.
Your contact forms set up to send reliably from your domain, so leads don't vanish.
A one-page summary of what's set up, where it's billed and how to add a new person.
Deliverability
These are records on your domain that prove an email really came from you. Big email providers now expect them, and missing them is a common reason business emails go to spam.
A list of which services are allowed to send email for your domain, like Google Workspace and your website.
A digital signature on each email that proves it wasn't changed along the way.
Tells receiving servers what to do with emails that fail the checks, and sends you reports. It also helps stop people faking your address.
When to do it
Moving your website at the same time? See website migration. Need hosting too? See maintenance & hosting, from $25/month.
Common questions
Both are good. Google Workspace is simple and works well if you like Gmail. Microsoft 365 makes sense if you live in Outlook, Word and Excel. We'll help you pick based on how you work.
Google and Microsoft charge a monthly fee per mailbox, billed to you directly. Our setup is a one-time fee, quoted up front.
Not if we move them. We can usually bring over old email, contacts and calendars from Gmail, Outlook.com and most other providers.
Often it's missing or wrong SPF, DKIM or DMARC records on your domain. We check and fix them as part of setup.
Look up your domain on a WHOIS site, or ask us and we'll check. If it's registered to a past developer or agency, we'll help you get it transferred into your name.
Yes. With Google Workspace your business email is Gmail, just at your own address. You can also add it to most other email apps.
