Google’s official guidance separates one person’s account from accounts the business controls. The move is about who can recover the inbox and manage staff, not a promise that one address always lands better.

• Business files and logins tied to a private personal account.
• A former employee controlling email or recovery.
• Shared passwords instead of separate managed users.
• A domain move that accidentally changes email domain settings.

• List the people and shared addresses the business needs.
• Confirm the business controls the domain.
• Plan users, aliases, groups, migration, recovery, and offboarding.
• Change domain settings in a documented window and test send, receive, calendar, and recovery.

We can set up the domain, accounts, migration, website, forms, and handoff as one plan. The business remains the administrator.
