Google Workspace Setup

Get your team up and running with Google's business suite

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) brings Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and Calendar together in a single business-grade subscription. Setting it up correctly from the start makes the difference between a smooth rollout and weeks of teething issues. WebElev8 handles your entire Google Workspace deployment, from DNS configuration and user account setup to data migration and team training.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Google Workspace setup take?
A basic setup for a small team (under 10 users) with no email migration typically takes one to two business days. Larger deployments with email migration, complex organisational structures, or custom integrations may take one to two weeks. We provide a clear timeline after understanding your requirements.
Which Google Workspace plan do you recommend?
For most small and medium businesses, Google Workspace Business Starter provides everything needed. If you require video recordings, larger storage, or enhanced security features like Vault archiving, Business Standard or Business Plus are worth considering. We help you choose the right plan based on your specific needs.
Can you migrate email from our current provider to Google Workspace?
Yes. We use Google's data migration tools and IMAP migration to transfer email from virtually any provider including Office 365, Outlook Exchange, Yahoo, and standard IMAP mail servers. Contacts and calendar data can also be migrated in most cases.
Will there be any email downtime during the migration?
We configure Google Workspace and test it thoroughly before updating your MX records. When we do switch your DNS, there may be a brief propagation period of up to a few hours, but email sent during this time is typically queued and delivered once the new records propagate. We schedule cutover carefully to minimise any risk.
Do you offer ongoing Google Workspace support?
Yes, ongoing Google Workspace administration is available as part of our monthly maintenance plans or as a standalone support retainer. This covers user management, troubleshooting, policy updates, and answering questions from your team as they arise.
