Here is the clean sequence MailJuke customers follow when launching a new domain on Google Workspace.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1 \u2014 Choose the domain deliberately<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer a short, brandable name on a common TLD when possible.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid lookalike domains that invite phishing confusion.<\/li>\n<li>If the domain is for a client, keep it in its own Workspace \u2014 do not mix client brands in one tenant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 2 \u2014 Create or connect Workspace<\/h2>\n<p>In MailJuke you can register a domain or connect one you already own, then provision Google Workspace seats. Verification usually means adding a TXT (or sometimes CNAME\/MX) record Google provides.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3 \u2014 Point mail with MX<\/h2>\n<p>Google\u2019s MX records must be the only mail exchangers for that domain (or carefully prioritized). Remove stale MX from old hosts or you will split delivery.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4 \u2014 Authenticate before the first campaign<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Publish SPF including Google.<\/li>\n<li>Enable DKIM in Admin Console and publish the key.<\/li>\n<li>Add a DMARC monitoring record.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Step 5 \u2014 Create users and aliases<\/h2>\n<p>Create real users for people, and aliases for roles (<code>support@<\/code>, <code>billing@<\/code>) only when someone owns the mailbox. Empty role accounts that blast mail are a reputation risk.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6 \u2014 Smoke-test delivery<\/h2>\n<p>Send from the new domain to Gmail, Outlook.com, and a corporate address. Check headers for <code>PASS<\/code> on SPF\/DKIM\/DMARC before inviting the whole team.<\/p>\n<h2>Time-saving tip<\/h2>\n<p>Doing DNS by hand across registrars is where launches stall.
