How to create a Google Postmaster Tools account for your domain

Google Postmaster Tools shows how Gmail treats your emails: your sender reputation, spam rate, delivery errors and more. Many parents use Gmail, so this view is valuable. Setting it up also lets the SleepPRO™ team look at your data when helping you with deliverability.

1. Create your account and verify your domain

You need a Google account. Create one if you do not have one.

1. Log in and open the Google Postmaster Tools dashboard.
2. Click Select a domain, then Manage domains.
3. Click Add a new domain, enter your domain without https:// or www (for example yoursleepbusiness.com) and click Create.
4. Click Back and check your domain shows in the list.
5. Scroll the table to the right, click the three dots and choose Validate domain.
6. The window shows a TXT record and a CNAME record. You only need to add one of them.

Option a, a TXT record. At your domain provider, add a new record:

• Type: TXT
• Name or Host: @
• Value: the verification code from Google.

Save it, go back to Google Postmaster Tools and click Validate.

Option b, a CNAME record. At your domain provider, add a new record:

• Type: CNAME
• Name or Host: the host from Google.
• Value or Target: the target from Google.

Save it, go back to Google Postmaster Tools and click Validate.

2. Give the SleepPRO™ team access

Access is given per domain.

1. On the Manage domains page, find your domain.
2. Scroll the table to the right using the scroll bar under the table, click the three dots and choose Manage users.
3. Click New user at the top right.
4. Enter support@sleeppro.io and click Add.
