This is the kind of videos that you would love to have the creator in front of you so you can give him a huge hug and invite him to an expensive dinner wherever he wants to
Thanks steward it's incredible that you explain it 20 times better than Google itself! Keep grinding
Hey Pau,
Thanks mate! I truly appreciate the comment 🤗 I’m glad you and so many others are greeting value from this.
All the best!
Completely agree! Thank Stewart you're the best!
I'll second that! This was a great video. It was so easy to understand. I'll be finally doing it tomorrow. Stewart has given me confidence. Many thanks!
Agreed! Hats off to you man! Super easy/helpful to follow!! Some kid was trying to charge me $6k to do this
Agreed !!. I would pay for that dinner and add a kiss as well 😉
Sometimes I really don't know where I would be without TH-cam. Thank you for this extremely brief and clear tutorial.
You are very welcome!
Thanks Stewart. You're an absolute star. I've watched so many videos on adding SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and just kept on getting errors. I was doing something wrong, obviously, but your explanation showed me where I was going wrong. It's now sorted. Thank you so much. You have a new subscriber!
Glad to help! Thank you so much for the comment!
What an excellent video! Straight, clear, to the point. A lot of online guides are filled with fluff to buff the time, but this was direct, thank you for this very helpful guide.
Welcome! I'm glad!
Great explanation. No fluff and BS. Clear and helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hands down one of the best how to videos I've ever come across! Literally walked me through everything and the google tool at the end was very helpful as it pointed out some other potential errors! Kudos to you sir! Thanks so much! 🙂
Hey DeRon,
I appreciate the comment mate!
Thank youuuuuu!!!! You have no idea how much this tutorial has helped me. I am a new small business owner and all of this is Chinese to me. I have no idea what I just did but I did it, and may the computer gods be satisfied.
Welcome! I'm glad! Haha I love it! All the best.
I was so overwhelmed when my email failed to deliver and the instructions given by Google were not clear at all. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Your very welcome!
The instructions are so HORRIBLE. Like they're written by a robot.
that was brilliant ! .. so clear, simple - and thank you for NOT playing background music while talking. A++++
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, one of the best "hand holding" tech tutorials on YT. I'm quite technical, but this goes over my head. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was so helpful. I kept getting emails to Gmail users rejected because of SPF issues. Tried to use the Google resources and they explained it where only a tech geek could get it. This explained it step by step and now everything is going smoothly! Thank you!
I'm super glad! Yes that is the problem with Google sometimes.
Wow - this is the clearest explanation I've seen, ever!
Glad you think so!
I'm full of gratitude!! Subscribed. Thanks, Stewart!
Awesome, thank you!
Hats off! Amazing and to the point video tutorial. And yes, even better than the explanation of Google itself with their blogs having hundreds of links.
Thank you!
Welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
I searched all over for this specific information, this was 😁very helpful and straight to the point.
Welcome!
Thank you so much sir you were a great help. No other video was able to help but yours !!!
Glad it helped
Champion explanation. Love your work Stewart
Thank you kindly
THIS WAS THE BEST VIDEO EVER TO EXPLAIN THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Welcome!
This issue was causing me all kinds of problems and a huge headache, but your video was very helpful and I solved the problem in just a few minutes; thank you very much!
I'm super glad!
Amazing - well done Stewart!
Glad you enjoyed it
Just wanted to say thanks for making this easy to understand video, greatly appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
Brother! You are a life saver, love from India😊
You are most welcome!
This is what I was expecting from google, a clear and easy step solution to my problem. So grateful you were able to do what google couldnt and help me solve this issue thanks a bunch!!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this. It's very simple and to the point. It's worth mentioning that third party senders need to be configured in both SPF and DKIM records
Welcome!
Thanks for this valuable video. It really helped!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great tutorial! You just saved us a lot of time!
Glad it helped!
Thanks, bro this was super helpful, finally someone that helped me for real on TH-cam.
Glad I could help!
This was SUPER helpful and needed. Watched so many videos and none of them made the process as simple like you did. The question is why lol? Great work!
You're welcome!
This was really useful, I was able to apply this to my Wix business email and website (gmail based email) in the UK. It’s worked perfectly, thank you. Now my emails have been going through to my clients without been rejected, before I had a high rejection rate which is really frustrating when you’re trying to run a business! Thanks! I also ran the test which you show at the end before and after applying the changes and the update was immediate.
Glad it helped! Thank you for this feedback!
This was amazing! Thank you so much for your fast video on how to do this.
You are so welcome!
This video saved me hours and tons of headache! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thanks man, I was struggling with getting DMARC set up. this really helped, now I can get started on my email campaigns. Thank youuu! :)
Welcome 🤗
Great video, thanks for getting straight to business, Subscribed!
Your welcome!
What a fantastic video Stewart, thanks a lot!
Thanks!
You are amazing! Thank you for making this so straightforward!
Welcome!
Thank you so much! the best video about this topic so far
You're very welcome!
Dude you're the best. this just made me a lot more money. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for making this video. Google is now requiring all Shopify stores to have Dmarc set up for feb 1st 2024, and the google information on this subject is very confusing for people like me with very little knowledge of this stuff. Your video was so simple, and worked great. You saved me and took a huge stress away from me.
Glad it was helpful! I'm glad this helped!
My domain is with google, and im struggling to find the DNS settings, can anyone help?
Log into your google domains account. Under "My domains" select your domain. Now on the left side dash three selections down you should see DNS. Now select "Manage Custom Records" and follow this videos tutorial from here! @@ellysemcdonald1825
Thanks for making this content accessible. Your videos are so useful and easy to follow. Thanks :-)
You're very welcome!
I found this incredibly helpful. I did have a little issue with needing to split my DKIM record as I didn't originally notice the full thing wasn't pasting but thanks to the tool I knew the problem had to be from the value and not that I hadn't input a DKIM record. If anyone is having issues, that might be something helpful to check. I simply then just used a tool that easily split the record for me and was able to get it to work.
You're very welcome! I will have to look into this.
Outstanding! FYI for those using Wix with a domain purchased through Google Domains: SPF and DMARK settings will be in your Wix account, not Google Domains account. DNS settings obviously also have to be updated first.
Thanks!
great tutorial. I love it....straight to the point

Glad to hear that!
Awesome video. thx
Welcome Emad
Thank you so much!
Welcome 🤗
The Google Admin Toolbox can not check my domain, but I assume that's because I just registered these things. I'll check back in 48-72 hrs :)
Good Video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Stewart ✔
You are very welcome!
Awesome video Stewart, super informative! For cold emailing, DoYouMail is unbeatable. Unlimited emails, high deliverability, what is not to love?
Hey!
Thanks! I'll look into this.
Amazing Stewart. Literally the only video online that made this process simple - thank you! Do we need to add dmarc records for every individual person’s email in our company, or just one account? Apologies if that is what was meant by “aliases” above.
Hey Jay,
Thanks for that! No just the one email is sufficient.
Excellent brief, clear, concise video! Helped tremendously! One question: If you have several email accounts within, do you set up a DMARK record for each just changing the email in the Content portion for each to customize?
Hey!
No just for the one email.
Thank you! @@StewartGauld
Thank you for a very helpful and simple video!
One question: what should the TTL be set at for each record?
Hey,
Welcome. The same is how I show you in this video.
tried and it worked. I hope this isn't some kind of occurable problem in the future.
You should be all sorted now Bryan.
This was amazing... Thank you so much for your help 😊 On the Dmarc how do you setup if your domain has multiple emails... Do you have to create a record for each email?
Hey!
No you just need to do this once for one email associated to the domain.
Hi Stewart,
Thanks for clear information.
Regarding DMARC setup where we enter email manually.
What to do if we have multiple email address?
Hey! Just the one email does the trick.
Hi Stewart, thank you very much for your helpful videos. Question, should I repeat step 3 DMARK: if I have multiply emails?
Welcome! No just for the one email only.
Thanks!
No problem!
Thanks, Stewart. This video is extremely helpful and easy to follow. Do I have to add a DMARK record for every email alias /user?
I'm glad! No just with one user.
Hi Stewart. Thanks for another great video.
I was wondering if you can do a short tutorial on how to get a custom domain created on wix pointing to a landing page created on Convertkit and / or Get Response.
Many thanks
You've been very helpful to me once again with this video.. 1 like & 1 subscriber for u 😊 thank you so much 💓
Welcome 🤗 thanks for subscribing 🙌
Hi Stewart, thanks for the video, helped alot.
Quick question:
Do you need to set up a separate TXT record for DMARC for each alias for a domain?
Thanks in advance 👍
Hey mate!
Just one email is fine.
Sorting emails can be a nightmare, thanks for the help!
It really is! Thanks mate!
I'm confuse! When you create an account and want to add your domain in the workspace, Google give you a record to add it in your dns settings in your intitial domain name provider. But i see you use cloudflare and i want to know where do you copy the cloudflare dns url: Cpanel or the google worskspace dns settings?
Thank you so much Stewart. I was going crazy trying to fix (mostly because I didn't know what I was actually fixing). I have one question for you, that I hope you have the time to answer:
In my search for fixing the SPF problems, I came across Google's support pages, where they talk about using other senders than Google Workspace. I use the Outlook App for Mac (logged in with my google account) for for viewing and sending my emails. Do I have to include this app someway, so that the e-mails I send from Outlook are still accepted by the receiver?
I also want to know this. Sending from outlook to Gmail accounts has been a headache.
Thanks for simple to follow instructions. There is nothing useful in Google Domains. I believe that the SPF and DMARC have a to be in place on 1 Feb for emails to be delivered properly. I think that I have probably done this before, but once every few years is not often enough to make it easy. Thanks again - I have subscribed to keep up with Your value content.
Thanks for the info! Your very welcome!
Many thanks Stewart! Will be sharing this video with so many entrepreneurs I know, besides myself, who have this problem. A quick question: will this also prevent email aliases going into spam as well, or do you recommend also adding those accounts?
Welcome!
No you just need to do this once with one email form your Google Workspace account.
@StewartGauld Thank you for a great tutorial ... you made it very easy.
Quick question ... I received a "Check was not possible." from the Google Admin Toolbox Check MX.
Would that potentially be from the DKIM DNS Record taking up to 48 hours to be implemented?
Cheers
Hey!
I would look back at this after 48 hours yes.
@@StewartGauld Thanks Stewart ... I appreciate you replying!
Very helpful! Wondering if you have any tips regarding a SPF to ensure that emails don’t get sent to spam. For background, I am using Apple Mail and my iPhone to send my google business emails from which are sending to my clients spam.
Welcome! You will need to follow this process to reduce spam and increase email deliverability.
Thanks for the great tutorial! One more question: If I'm using more than 1 email for the domain to send out cold emails, do I need to add other DMARC record for the other emails as well? Because right now, I only added the one for the one email like you showed in the video. Thank you in advance!
Hey mate!
No you just need to do this with one email. That's all you need to do!
Great video thanx but if I have two emails on the same domain?
No need. You just need to do this process once.
Thank you for the video, the other two I managed on my own but I had trouble understanding how to set up dmarc from the google help articles. One question - I have multiple people at my business with email addresses using our domain. Should I create a separate dmarc record for each user?
You're welcome! No just one email needs to go through this process.
Great Value in this video Stewart, thank You! Quick question: I have 2 pre-existing TXT DKIM files. Should I delete these or is it ok to leave these with the new one I created with Google
Your welcome! I would leave these for now.
Hi! A year ago I set up a Business account for Free with gmail thanks to your tutorial (thank you so much). Now I am wondering how to authentificate this email in Mailerlite to keep sending marketing emails. I was able to set up SPF correctly but have no clue how to set up DKIM. I was watching your video but it seems that I would need workspace. Is there a way of authentifying this free business account without using workspace? Thank you ☺
Hey!
Unfortunately you will need a proper business email.
thank you so much this was so helpful and easy to fallow. if we have one then one email would we put all of them in the domain.
Welcome! Just for one email.
thanks a lot for this tutorial it helped me a lot. I just have one question if I have several corporative email do I have to create DMARC register for each one?
Hey Ana,
No just one email for that domain.
Ehi Stewart, this is amazing, thank you so much. In order to get DKIM and DMARC fixed, we need to buy access to the Google Admin Workspace, right ?
You will need a Google Workspace account yes.
This was so incredibly helpful thank you Stewart! I've set it up for my own email address. I have 2 other email addresses on the domain, do I just need to set up another _dmarc txt record for each of those?
Hey Emma,
Just for one email only :)
Excellent tutorial! One question: with multiple emails on the same domain would I need to set up a DMARC record for each email?
No just the one mate.
