Move your business off free Gmail · Matano IT Solutions
Email, done properly

Your clients can't tell you from a scammer. On free Gmail, neither can their bank.

If your business runs on an @gmail.com address, every message you send looks exactly as legitimate as a message from someone pretending to be you. Here's what that means, and the one-afternoon fix.

Why this matters more than it looks

A free Gmail account works fine, right up until money moves by email. Then three things become true at once:

Anyone can be you for free.Registering a near-identical @gmail.com address takes a stranger two minutes and costs nothing. Your clients have no way to spot the difference.
You have no way to prove yourself.Modern email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) lets receiving systems verify that mail claiming to be from your business really is. Those protections attach to a domain you own. A free address can never carry them.
The stakes are documented.The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center logged $446 million stolen through business email scams in real estate transactions in a single year. Impersonated email is the door those losses walk through.

What changes, and what doesn't

The move is to Google Workspace, which is Gmail built for businesses. You are not learning a new system.

Stays exactly the same

  • The Gmail screen you use every day
  • The Gmail app on your phone
  • Every email you've ever sent or received, migrated over
  • Your contacts and folders
  • The old address keeps forwarding to you, permanently

Changes for the better

  • Your mail comes from name@yourbusiness.com
  • Forged mail claiming to be your domain gets rejected
  • Every message you send is cryptographically signed
  • Business-grade storage and Google support
  • You look like a firm, not a hobby
