Google Workspace, also known as G-Suite, is used by a wide range of businesses for email, meetings, and team collaboration. Mostly, when you set up Google Workspace, you link it to a primary domain, such as companyname.com, but sometimes businesses need to add one or more domains.

This allows you to create new email addresses for users with the new domain. You can manage everything from a single admin account. In this article, we will discuss how to add a secondary domain to Google Workspace. So let’s dive into this step-by-step process.
