Google Workspace

Google Workspace for Small Business in Lincoln & Roseville CA

As an indirect Google Workspace provider, I supply your Business Starter or Business Standard subscriptions and manage your account, so Gmail, Drive and Meet just work.

Google Workspace support for small business

Google Workspace runs your whole office in the browser

Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets and Meet work from any computer, phone or tablet, with nothing to install. It is simple, fast and a great fit for small teams. But the default setup leaves a lot of security switched off, and most small businesses never get past the default setup.

I set up and manage Google Workspace for small businesses across Lincoln, Roseville, Rocklin, Auburn, Folsom and the greater Sacramento area. You get one local person who knows your account, your people and your settings.

Your Google Workspace provider and your IT person, in one

I’m an indirect Google Workspace provider. That means I don’t just support your Google Workspace, I provide it. Your subscriptions come from me, I manage your account and its security, and when something needs Google’s help, I contact them for you. One local contact for licenses, migration, setup and support.

Business Starter or Business Standard?

I provide both editions. Here is how they differ for most small businesses:

Business Starter Business Standard
Storage per user (pooled) 30 GB 2 TB
Video meetings Up to 100 people Up to 150 people
Meeting recordings saved to Drive No Yes
Business email with your domain Yes Yes
Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Chat Yes Yes
Best for Email and light file sharing Teams that store lots of files or record meetings

Starter is a great start for many offices. If your team stores a lot of files in Drive or records meetings, Standard is usually worth it. I’ll look at how you work and recommend the right one, and you can move up later without starting over.

The Google Workspace apps I provide and support

  • Gmail
  • Calendar
  • Drive
  • Docs
  • Sheets
  • Slides
  • Meet
  • Chat

My Google Workspace services include:

Email migration

Moving from Microsoft 365, an Exchange server, GoDaddy or another email host? I move your email, calendars and contacts to Gmail without losing a message, usually over a weekend.

Shared data migration

Files on an old server, a shared drive, Dropbox, Box or OneDrive move into Google Drive and shared drives, organized so everyone finds what they need.

Security hardening

2-Step Verification for every user, strong password rules, alerts for suspicious sign-ins and controls on what can be shared outside your business.

Email protection

I set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your messages land in inboxes instead of spam folders, and tune Gmail's protection against phishing and spoofed senders.

Drive, sharing and permissions

Shared drives for each team, sharing settings that keep private files private, and a clean handoff of files when someone leaves.

Backup

Google keeps your data running, but it is not a backup. I add a separate backup of Gmail and Drive so a deleted account or a mistake never costs you your files.

Subscriptions from me

Your Business Starter or Business Standard licenses come directly from me. I help you pick the right edition and move up when you need more.

Your account, managed

I manage your Google Workspace admin console for you: new hires and departures the same day, groups, shared inboxes and settings.

Help when you need it

Questions about Gmail, Drive or Meet? Call me and I'll fix it or walk you through it. No support line, no waiting on hold.

Not sure which is right for you?

Some businesses fit Google Workspace best, others fit Microsoft 365. I provide and support both, so I can recommend the one that fits how your team works, not the one I happen to sell. Already on one and wondering about the other? I can move you either way. See my Microsoft 365 page.
