faq:
  - question: "Where do I enable DKIM for Google Workspace?"
    answer: "Use the Google Admin console to turn on DKIM for your domain and copy the exact TXT records Google shows for each selector hostname."
  - question: "Can I add Google’s SPF include alongside other vendors?"
    answer: "Yes, but every authorized mechanism must fit into a single SPF TXT record at that hostname—merge includes rather than publishing multiple SPF TXT strings."

## SPF include

Google publishes guidance for the correct SPF include directive for Gmail routing. Combine only with other authorized senders in a **single** SPF TXT record.

## DKIM in Admin Console

Enable DKIM in the Google Admin console and add the suggested DNS TXT records at the hostnames Google provides (selector-based `_domainkey` names).

## Verification

Use Google’s domain verification tools inside Admin and external MX/DNS checkers that query live DNS—avoid guessing TXT values.
