Overview
Your Google Maps Platform Premium Plan includes access to APIs that you manage in
the Cloud console. To get started, you must be able to sign in to
the Cloud console using a Google Account.
We don't recommend using a personal Gmail account with
the Google Maps Platform Premium Plan. Instead, use your
company email address, as explained below.
Checking if you have an account
If you have previously used your company email address to sign in to other
Google services, such as G Suite or Google Analytics, you probably already
have a Google Account. Try signing in to the Cloud console.
If you don’t remember your Google password, just enter your email address
on the
password-assistance page
by selecting “I don’t know my password”.
Creating a Google Account
You can create a new Google Account using your company email address here:
Create a
Google Account without Gmail
Important: After you create the account, we
will send an email to the address you entered to verify that you own it and
work at the company in question. Click the link in that email to verify that you
own this address. We can’t provision your
Premium Plan until the account is verified.
