Should I Switch to Google Business Email for My Business?

·Sep 26, 2025 02:27 AM·

For 10+ years, I have run my business emails via the free Gmail. i.e.

1.
I set up my inbox via my webmail from my web host (ex. brooks@brooksconkle.com )
2.
I forward all copies of that to my Gmail inbox.
3.
I set up a "send as" brooks@brooksconkle.com in my Gmail.

That's it. So I never found a need to get the business Gmail using my domain. But.... I think that for Lindy's it will be easier if I do that, right? Otherwise I'll need to sign up using a 3rd party to send via SMTP? [note: I tested sending from Alias in Lindy --- and that works, but when the person replies back it will come back into my free gmail account. I'm feeling like it may be time to pull the trigger on Google Business email accounts unless there's an easy fix I don't know about! Thanks]

Hey Brooks! Ah, good question -- I'm honestly not too well versed in this scenario 😞 I'd have to do some research here on what the best situation would be. Unless Marvin A. may have some thoughts

Great, thanks. It's definitely a niche case. Ha, I run 3 gmail accounts in my browser daily --- so this would actually add to that. I might just have to live with sending emails directly from a gmail address and be ok with that. But would love to hear what you find out, thanks!

Yeah there is no workaround I am currently aware of to bypass this. 🙈

Update: I was able to set up SMTP2GO and it appears to be working (to send via my domain email).
