Risks of Using Google Workspace for Cold Email Outreach

·Oct 16, 2025 09:55 AM·

Hey guys, I’ve got a question that’s been on my mind for a while. I run a startup design agency and we’re doing cold outreach using 30 Google Workspace accounts — sending around 20 emails per account per day after a 14-day warmup. This setup was recommended by an expert, so I went with it — and honestly, we’re getting a ton of positive responses from these accounts alone. People are really impressed by our services! Now I’m seriously considering scaling up by buying more accounts and leads. But I keep wondering… why do people say not to use Gmail (or Google Workspace) accounts for cold emailing? Are there any specific risks I should know about before scaling further? Would love to hear your insights! 👇

Hey Ahmed R. It works short term, but google bans fast. use custom domains or tools like Instantly for scaling

Feel free to use google workspace accounts. if one of them stops working (which usually does after months of outreach), just delete it, and open up a new one. If you want to cut costs by 1/2, and save time on setup of accounts use Scaled mail or something similar.

Depending how large you want to scale you can also delegate this to a contracting company who will do all of it for you for a fraction of the cost of other larger well known providers and will provide very good results
