Google Workspace DNS Problem

Something in your DNS configuration is blocking Google Workspace from working correctly.

The Problem

One or more Workspace features — mail delivery, domain verification, or authentication — is not working, and DNS is the likely cause.

Possible Causes

  • Records added to the wrong zone or the wrong record type
  • Conflicting records from a previous provider never removed
  • DNS managed somewhere the domain owner did not expect (registrar vs. host vs. a third party)
  • Changes not yet propagated

What We Can Check

We review your full DNS zone — not just one record — to catch conflicts and leftover entries that individual troubleshooting steps often miss.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Identify exactly where your domain’s DNS is managed (registrar, host, or a separate DNS provider).
  2. Pull a full list of current DNS records for the domain.
  3. Compare every Google Workspace – related record (MX, SPF, DKIM, verification) against Google’s current requirements.
  4. Remove anything conflicting or left over from a previous setup.

When You Need Professional Help

DNS zones accumulate old records over the years. If you are not fully confident reading a DNS zone file, it is easy to remove the wrong thing — get a second opinion first.
