How to get support

To resolve issues using Google Workspace, follow these steps.

  1. Search the internet: The popularity of Google Workspace means that an answer to your question is likely already published. Type keywords related to your question into a search engine.
  2. If the internet doesn't turn up useful results, try first-party documentation: https://workspace.google.com/support/
  3. Finally, if you find it necessary to call in, find the phone number for your country: https://support.google.com/a/table/3247295. Remember that phone calls are insecure. Avoid discussing anything but the issue you need solving, and avoid sharing credentials. There's also a live chat option within your Google Workspace Admin tools: https://workspace.google.com/products/admin/.
