How to Give Me Limited Access to Your Google Account

By Shaun Killian

|

Whether you have asked me to design your website or look after it on an ongoing basis, I will need access to a Google (Gmail) account you own.

I prefer to set up a new one for you – an account you only use for your business stuff.

But for various reasons, clients sometimes want me to use an existing Gmail account. At the same time, you don’t want me to read your emails, etc., and I don’t want to do that either.

The answer is to add me as a user for specific parts of your Google account. To launch and look after your website, you will always need to add me as a user to your:

  • Google Analytics Account
  • Google Search Console

Both these are directly related to your website. Sometimes, you may want me to do extra things for you, which could involve giving me access to your:

  • Google Business Profile
  • Google Ads Account

Watch this video to see how to add me as an additional user to specific parts of your Google account!
