I'm looking to switch my Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, but I have some important Google services linked to my domain. I've used [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) to set up everything related to my Google account, making me the administrator for services like Google My Business, Analytics, Ad Manager, Search Console, YouTube, and Chrome profile.
My main concern is that once I migrate to M365 and possibly delete my Google Workspace, I don't want to lose access to these services or my data. I'd like to ensure I remain the admin of these services using my email after the migration. What should I do to prevent losing access or any of the data before I make this switch? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You could also take a backup of all your important data before making the switch. This way, even if something goes wrong, you’ll still have access to it. I recommend checking Google’s migration documentation for specific steps to prepare your non-GW services for a smooth transition.
To keep your Google services after moving to Microsoft 365, make sure to keep your Google Workspace account active for now. You should either maintain user licenses or consider assigning a free Google Cloud Identity license to retain access to your Google services like GMB and YouTube. It’s crucial to ensure that your account stays connected during the transition to avoid losing access.
Exactly! Keeping the Google account active helps a lot. Just be cautious with the migration process to ensure everything is properly set up.
Good point! Having a backup is always a smart move. Plus, being proactive with the migration helps minimize risks.
