Do you use Gmail? Or perhaps Gmail for your business email (known as Google Apps / G Suite / Google Workplace)? In running Google Ads campaigns all day every day, we do A LOT of email. We’ve been using Google Workplace as our cloud email solution for 13 years now (all day every day), and we love it. Having said that, there are a few things that do annoy us. One of those things are the way that Gmail handles email signatures by default. It’s a silly little thing that we see people having a hard time with on an almost daily basis. The good news is that there’s a very easy fix!

Why Gmail’s default email signature placement setting annoys us:

1. What’s the point of having a nice email signature with your business logo and/or contact details if it’s hidden way down the bottom of a long email thread where no one will see it?

How to fix Gmail’s default email signature placement:

1. Sign into Gmail on your computer
2. Click the settings cog at the top right hand corner of the screen then See All Settings
3. Scroll about two-thirds down the settings page until you get to Signature
4. Under Signature Defaults tick the checkbox for Insert signature before the quoted text in replies, and remove the ‘–‘ line that precedes it. 
   
5. Be sure to click Save Changes at the bottom of the page 
6. All done! Problem solved! Now your email signature will not get lost at the bottom of your emails. Instead, it will be included directly beneath your current email message, AMAZING!
