Google Workspace DNS Problem
Something in your DNS configuration is blocking Google Workspace from working correctly.
Get HelpThe 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
- Identify exactly where your domain’s DNS is managed (registrar, host, or a separate DNS provider).
- Pull a full list of current DNS records for the domain.
- Compare every Google Workspace – related record (MX, SPF, DKIM, verification) against Google’s current requirements.
- 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.
