With the combined power of Google Workspace and Kajabi, you can streamline and connect your workflows.

If you wish to use Google Workspace with your site on Kajabi you will first need to connect a custom domain to Kajabi and verify your domain to complete your Google Workspace setup.

<Note>
  **Note:** If your custom domain is purchased through Google, Google will automatically verify your domain for you and you will not be required to complete the steps provided in this article.
</Note>

If you have purchased your custom domain from a registrar that does not partner with Google, you will be required to verify your domain to ensure the protection and privacy of your Google Workspace and Domain.

## Domain verification

Before verifying your domain to set up your Google Workspace, you will first need to connect your custom domain to Kajabi.

The verification process cannot be completed with a Kajabi Subdomain, as you will need access to your domain DNS settings.
