    Just wondering what you guys typically do when you need to enable an API for Google Maps or something on a client's website... Do you start them a generic GMail account and create the project there? Do you use your personal GMail account? Or do you use a Google account that you created specifically for web designs? Curious. I have now done all three lol.

    I always create a specific account for the client, simply because then I can hand that account of together with the design, so the client have autonomy if s/he wants to change anything, update, remove, reuse etc.

    It also gives single entry-point for using Google Analytics and such, and gives the client their own account and control of all things Google. I prefer to do it that way, even though I know it's possible to set up and give access to multiple accounts/users as long as you have a Google Business account.

    You know you can just use your company email (given that it is a Google Business Account) and just add a specific for a client, right? For instance, say you have (via GBA), you could just do , and sort email with filters based on those criteria.

    I just use their direct email so they think there's no funny business. Its more trusting to the client. They feel the trust of actually getting a email from you. Plus its safer that way. Goodluck
