Your Quick Start Guide to Creating a Gmail Account

Watch this quick screencast to learn the basics of how to create a new Gmail account quickly:

Or walk-through the detailed written steps below for more information on how to set up your Gmail account.

1. How to Create a New Google Account

You can only have one Gmail account for each Google account you set up. However, you can have more than one Google account.

To create a new Gmail account, you need to create a new Google account. First, make sure you are logged out of any existing Google accounts that you have.

Start from the Google search screen, which you can access at google.com. Now sign in to the Google Search screen.

Sign in to the Google Search screen.

Click the Sign in button in the upper right corner. If you have current Google accounts, Google asks if you’d like to open one of those accounts now.

Select the Add account link.

Click the Add account link. The following screen displays.

Select Create account.

If you have a Google account tied to an existing email, you can find it by clicking the Find my account link. To create a new Google account, which you can use for a new Gmail account, click the Create account link. The Create Your Google Account window appears.

To create a new Google account to use for Gmail, you will need to fill out this screen.

The following steps explain how to complete the Create Your Google Account window.

Step 1. Enter Your Name and User Name

Start with the Create Your Google Account window open.

Type your name and username.

Type your name and username.

Type your first and last name in the Name field. Type the username for your new Gmail account.

You can use letters, numerals or periods in your username. The system ignores capitalization. You may need to try several variations of your desired username. The system will not let you choose a username that is already being used.

You are now ready to enter a password.

Step 2. Choose a Password

Start with the Create Your Google Account window open.

Type and confirm your password.

Type and confirm your password.

Type a password for your new Gmail account in the Create a password field. Your new password must be at least eight characters long. For more tips on how to create secure passwords, review this Envato Tuts+ tutorial:

Once you’ve selected a password, type it again in the Confirm your password field. You must type an exact match of your password.

Step 3. Enter Your Birthday

Start with the Create Your Google Account window open. If you need to, use the scroll bar on the right of the window to scroll down.

Select a month and type the date and year of your birthday.

When you place your cursor in the first Birthday field, a drop-down menu with the months of the year displays. Select your birth month. Type the date of your birth in the second Birthday field. Type the year of your birth in the third Birthday field.

Step 4. Enter Your Gender

Start with the Create Your Google Account window open.

Select your gender.

Click in the Gender field. Select your choice from the drop-down menu.

Step 5. Enter Recovery Information and Location

Start with the Create Your Google Account window open. The next few fields can help you recover your account if you forget your username or password.

Enter your mobile phone number and a recovery email address. Also, select your location.

Enter your cell phone number into the Mobile phone field. Type your current email address into the next field.

While you may be able to create a Gmail account without entering the optional recovery information, you will not be able to recover your account if you forget your password. I highly recommend that you fill out these fields.

On some operating systems, you may also be given the option to make Google your default home page.

Finally, select your location from the drop-down menu in the Location field.

Once you have entered all the required information and the recovery information, click the Next step button.

Step 6. Accept Google’s Terms

The Privacy popup displays with Google’s privacy agreement and terms of service.

Click I Agree when you have reviewed the terms.

It’s important to take the time to read the key points summarized in this popup. Use the scroll bar to view all the key points.

When you have finished reviewing the information click the I Agree button to create your new Google account. Click Cancel if you do not wish to create the account.

After clicking I Agree in the Privacy popup, you will be asked to verify your mobile phone number if you entered it earlier. Follow the instructions on the verification screens to verify your mobile phone number. Click Continue when you are finished.

A Welcome screen displays.

Click continue.

Click the Continue button when you have reviewed the information on the Welcome screen. You now have a new Google account which you can use your newly created Gmail account with.

2. How to Open Your Gmail Account

Now that you’ve created a new Gmail account, you’re ready to sign in. Return to the main Google screen.

Click Gmail to open your newly created Gmail account.

Click the Gmail link. Your new Gmail account that you created opens with an introductory screen.

Step 1. Open Your New Gmail Sign In

Start at the Gmail introductory screen.

Review the Gmail introductory screens for information about your new Gmail account.

When you have finished reviewing the information on the screen, click the Next button. Another introductory screen appears. Review the screen, and click Next again. Continue to click the Next button through each introductory screen.

After the last introductory screen, a popup appears announcing that your new Gmail account is ready to use.

Click Go to Gmail.

Click the Go to Gmail button. You’ll see your new Gmail inbox with a welcome message from Google. You’ll also see some icons prompting you to perform various tasks such as adding a photo to your profile, choosing a theme, importing your contacts, and more.

Type your first message right away using the Compose button. Or, click the various icons and follow instructions to perform the indicated tasks.

Step 2. Sign Out of Gmail

When you have finished using your new Gmail account, click the profile icon in the upper right corner. The Account popup displays.

Click Sign out to log out.

Click the Sign out button to log out of your new Gmail account.

Now that you know how to create a Gmail account, you can sign into and out of Gmail freely. Start working with it now. Begin by organizing your inbox and send out your first message.

Создание учетной записи Google на смартфоне с Android

Google – всемирно известная корпорация, владеющая множеством продуктов и сервисов, в числе которых как собственные разработки, так и приобретенные. К последним относится и операционная система Android, под управлением которой работает большая часть смартфонов, представленных на современном рынке. Полноценное использование этой ОС возможно лишь при условии наличия учетной записи Гугл, о создании которой мы и расскажем в данном материале.

Создаем аккаунт Google на мобильном устройстве

Все что потребуется для создания учетной записи Гугл непосредственно на смартфоне или планшете – это наличие подключения к интернету и активной SIM-карты (опционально). Последняя может быть установлена как в используемый для регистрации гаджет, так и в обычный телефон. Итак, приступим.

Примечание: Для написания нижеизложенной инструкции использовался смартфон под управлением Android 8.1. На устройствах предыдущих версий названия и расположение некоторых элементов может отличаться. Возможные варианты будут указаны в скобках либо отдельными примечаниями.

Примечание: На разных версиях ОС этот раздел может носить разное наименование. В числе возможных вариантов «Аккаунты», «Другие аккаунты», «Учетные записи» и т.д., поэтому ищите близкие по смыслу названия.

Так как почта Gmail, как и все сервисы Google, широко востребованы у пользователей со всего мира, вполне вероятно, что создаваемое вами название почтового ящика уже будет занято. В таком случае можно лишь порекомендовать придумать другой, несколько измененный вариант написания, либо же выбрать подходящую подсказку.

Стандартные меры безопасности: Пароль должен состоять не менее, чем из 8 символов, содержать латинские буквы верхнего и нижнего регистра, цифры и допустимые символы. Не используйте в качестве паролей дату рождения (в любой форме), имена, никнеймы, логины и прочие целостные слова и фразы.

Теперь можете выходить на главный экран и/или заходить в меню приложений и приступать к активному и более комфортному использованию фирменных сервисов компании. Например, можете запустить Play Маркет и установить свое первое приложение.

На этом процедура создания Гугл-аккаунта на смартфоне с Андроид завершена. Как видите, эта задача совсем не сложная и не отняла у нас с вами много времени. Прежде чем приступить к активному использованию всех функциональных возможностей мобильного устройства, рекомендуем убедиться в том, что на нем настроена синхронизация данных – это убережет вас от потери важных сведений.

Заключение

В этой небольшой статье мы рассказали о том, как можно зарегистрировать учетную запись Google непосредственно со смартфона. Если же вы хотите сделать это со своего ПК или ноутбука, рекомендуем ознакомиться со следующим материалом.

How to Create & Verify Your Google My Business Account

Your free Google business listing (known as your Business Profile) can do more than you think. When properly optimized, it showcases your best features and makes it easy for consumers to discover, learn about, and contact your business. But in order to properly optimize your Business Profile, you need access to it, and in order to access it, you need to verify with Google that you are the rightful owner.

While it seems as though it should be as simple as “step one create, step two claim, and step three verify,” the process is neither that simple nor that linear—which, if you’re reading this post, you have already figured out. That’s because it requires three different Google accounts and two different Google platforms, all of which have very similar names. Talk about a brain bender.

So, in this post, I’m going to first iron out for you exactly what’s what in Google, and then give you a clear-cut roadmap to creating a Google My Business account and using it to claim and verify your Business Profile on Google.

Why create a Google My Business account?

Whether you’re a local mainstay or are just starting a business, your Google Business Profile makes it easy for consumers to discover, learn about, and contact your business online.These are the core benefits of a Google My Business account, and if that’s not enough to convince you, consider the disadvantages of not having one.

You risk losing customers. Without a Google My Business account, you don’t have control over the information displayed in your Business Profile, and according to a BrightLocal study, 68% of consumers would stop using a local business after finding incorrect information online.

You lose SERP real estate. Google ranks Business Profiles according to their quality, and a Business Profile alone is not enough. A Google Business Profile managed through a Google Business account, however, can be optimized to rank above competitors for relevant keyword searches.

Which listing would you choose? The unclaimed one on the left or the one optimized by Google My Business account on the right?

What you need in order to claim and verify your business on Google

By now, it should be clear that creating a Google My Business account and verifying ownership of your business is crucial if you want to provide accurate information, respond to reviews, attract customers, and rank higher in local search—even on the first page.

As mentioned earlier, however, the process is not super simple. It involves two different Google platforms and three different Google accounts, all of which have similar names, and some of which you likely already have. So to get you off on clear footing, let’s first iron out the terminology.

Google Account: This is the free account you create with Google so you can have access to Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Photos, Gmail, and more. Many call it their “Gmail account,” but Gmail is just one of the features; you can actually use any email to set up a Google Account. In this post, I’ll use the term “standard Google Account“ to refer to this account type, just to avoid confusion. Most business owners already have two standard Google accounts—one they use for their personal life and one they use for their business.

Business Profile: This is your free business listing on Google that appears on Google Maps, the local results of Google Search, and the right-hand Knowledge Panel of Google Search.

An example of a Business Profile on Maps.

Google My Business account: This is the free account you create that gives you a dashboard to manage and enhance your Business Profile.

Your Google My Business dashboard.

How to verify your business on Google

Now that you have the proper terminology laid out, let’s put the pieces together to form a full picture of the process.

The goal is to gain full access to your Business Profile on Google.

The means by which you do this is your Google My Business account, which you sign up for using a standard Google Account.

The steps to complete the process are as follows:

Now, with the groundwork laid out, you are armed and ready to successfully claim and verify your business on Google. The steps outlined below are written linearly, and in some cases, you’ll need to skip down a step. But I’d still encourage you to read them all carefully to avoid hitting roadblocks or creating duplicate accounts.

Step #1: Make sure you have a Google Account for your business

This is the standard Google Account we described in the terminology section above. If you already have one (make sure it’s not your personal-use Google Account), skip down to Step #2. If you don’t have a Google Account for your business, follow the steps below.

3. You’ll see a drop-down with two options. Choose “To manage my business.”

4, Supply the necessary information.

Step #2: Make sure you have a Business Profile

Your Business Profile is the official term for your Google business listing. As mentioned above, Google Business Profiles are separate from Google My Business accounts. A Business Profile can exist on its own, without Google My Business account. The problem with this is that the business owner has no control over the information in that Business Profile until they claim it, and this is done through Google My Business. Bottom line: You’ll want to make sure you have a Business Profile to claim once you’ve set up your Google My Business account.

If you know you’ve already created a Business Profile, skip down to Step #4. If you haven’t created one or are unsure, follow the steps below.

Note: Even if you didn’t create it, there’s a good chance your Business Profile already exists. This is because a Business Profile is simply a place on Google Maps, which any person or computer can add. So to check and see if you need to create a Business Profile, follow these steps:

1. Go to Google.com/maps.
2. Search your business name.
3. If your business name populates in the drop-down with an address next to it, this means your Business Profile already exists. Great! You can move on to Step #4.

If your business name does not populate with an address, select it and you’ll see something like this:

4. Select “Add a missing place,” and you’ll see a screen like this:

5. Provide the requested information. Notice that you’ll have the option to claim the business within that same window. Since you don’t have a Google My Business account yet, you’ll need to move on to Step #3. If you already have a Google My Business account, you can follow the prompts and you’ll end up at Step #5—look at you go!

Step #3: Sign up for a Google My Business account

The means by which you claim your Business Profile on Google is through a Google My Business account. Provided you have a standard Google account (see Step #1), here’s how to sign up for a Google My Business account.

1. Make sure you are logged into the standard Google Account for your business (and not the standard Google Account for your personal life).
2. Go to google.com/business.
3. Select “Manage now.”

4. Provide the basic information Google asks for, including.

Once you connect this account with your Business Profile (the final step of this post), additional fields will open up in your dashboard so you can provide even more information about your business. This information is the key to optimizing your business for local SEO and attracting more customers through your free listing.

Step #4: Request to claim your Business Profile

This is where we start putting the pieces together. Unfortunately, creating a Google My Business account (from Step #3) does not automatically connect it to your Business Profile (from Step #2). You need to tell Google to connect them, and you do this by verifying ownership of your business. To do this, start by locating your Business Profile on Google Maps or Google Search and requesting to claim it. You can do this one of two ways:

Claim request method #1:

1. Go to google.com and search for your business name and location. If your Business Profile appears on the right-hand side, find the “Own this business?” option and select it.

2. From there you’ll be taken to a screen that says “Manage this business so you can reply to reviews, update info, and more.”

3. Click “Manage now,” and follow the prompts to claim your business. Once again, make sure you’re logged in with the standard Google Account used for your business, and not for your personal life, referred to in Step #1.

Claim request method #2: Google Maps

1. Go to Google.com/maps.
2. Type in your business name.
3. Click on your Business Profile, which will expand.
4. You’ll then see an option to “Claim this business.”

Clicking on “Claim this business” will then overlay the same screen you saw in the first method, but this time right over the map.

4. Click “Manage now” and follow the prompts. Again, make sure you’re logged in with the Google Account you created for your business referred to in Step #1.

Step #6: Verify ownership of your business

This is the home stretch! If you need to grab a Gatorade or some orange slices, I’ll be right here when you get back.

When you click on “Manage now” as instructed in Step #5, you’ll be asked to provide information to prove you are the rightful owner of the business. Depending on the type of business you have, if you created the Business Profile and you’re logged into your Google My Business account, you might get validated on the spot. If you aren’t the one who created the Business Profile, Google will send you a verification code that you’ll enter into your Google Business dashboard. Depending on the circumstances of your account/security requirements of your industry, you may be given your verification code via regular mail, email, or text.

Once you receive the code and enter it into the box, you will have full ownership of your Business Profile on Google! You can now manage reviews, update information, add more attractive details, and optimize it for successful local marketing.

Take the time to verify your business on Google

Google is changing the way consumers find and engage with local businesses, so if you want to continue reaching your audience and attracting customers with your free Business Profile, be sure to follow the above steps. The process has different parts and pieces, but it doesn’t have to be quite so complicated with guides like this and options like doing it on mobile. Get started with creating, claiming, and verifying through Google My Business today so you can get the most out of this incredible and free tool available to you.
