If you use Google Apps for Business, you’ve probably set up a standard signature in Gmail (don’t panic if you haven’t). You’ll be able to do it after this). You may even have a fancy signature that includes a picture of your company logo or other branding elements. But what if you could make a useful hyperlink out of an otherwise just beautiful logo? Fortunately, it’s not only doable but also less difficult than you would imagine!

Let’s assume you want to change your signature to include a picture of your company logo, with a link to your corporate site when someone clicks on the logo. Here’s how to go about it:

Go to Gear > Settings > General > Signature from your Gmail inbox.

After you’ve finished writing your signature, click the Insert Image option to add the logo.

In the conventional sense, Gmail does not allow you to upload photos for signatures. As a result, you’ll need to link to a public image on the internet. My recommendation is to look for a logo on your company’s website, right-click, and copy the URL. I’d want to provide links to my LinkedIn, Medium, Blogger, and YouTube profiles here. As a result, I’m obtaining the following public photos of them.

Return to Gmail and paste the URL into the Image URL field.

Similarly, you can add images. You’ll need to convert the picture into a functioning hyperlink now that it’s in your signature. After highlighting the image with your mouse, click the Link button.

Enter the URL of your choice in the Web address field, then click OK.

After adding hyperlinks to all images, save the settings.

It’s worth noting that you may also put a link to a specific email address. Even though adding a link is a little enhancement, it dramatically improves the professionalism and effectiveness of your email signature.

Hope this can help. Share your thoughts too. Happy Gmail-ing!
