How to Make non-Gmail Email Address to Google Account (2024)

Ever wanted to leverage Google Analytics or AdWords for your business but hesitated to sign up for a Gmail account? You’re not alone! Many small businesses prefer to keep their business email separate from personal accounts. The good news is, you can access various Google services without a Gmail address.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A non-Google email address (e.g., your business email)
• A temporary email service (optional, for demonstration purposes only)
• A strong password

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Create a Google Account:
   • Head to Google’s sign-in page (accounts.google.com).
   • Click “Create account” and choose “For my personal use” (avoiding the “For work or school” option that leads to a Google Workspace account).
2. Fill in your information:
   • Enter your desired name and a secure password (at least 12 characters with a mix of letters and numbers).
   • Select your birthday (it doesn’t have to be accurate).
3. Use your existing email address:
   • When prompted to create a Gmail address, choose “Use your existing email instead.”
   • Paste your non-Google email address into the designated field.
4. Verify your account:
   • Check your non-Google email inbox for a verification code. Copy and paste the code into the designated field on Google’s sign-up page.
5. Provide your phone number:
   • Enter your phone number for additional security. Google will send a verification code via SMS.
6. Secure your account:
   • Once verified, head to and enable two-step verification for enhanced security. This typically involves adding your phone number and an authentication app.

Now you’re ready!

With your Google account created, you can access various Google services like Analytics and AdWords using your non-Google email address. Remember to keep your password secure and enable two-step verification for maximum protection.  

Bonus Tip: This method allows you to be invited to additional Google properties (e.g., Analytics accounts) using your existing email address, maintaining separation from a Gmail account.

By following these steps, you can harness the power of Google services without compromising your business email preferences.Sources and related content
