Well or Good?

What is the proper grmamar for the following question;

I hope you are doing well

OR

I hope you are doing good

An adjective "good" may be used as an adverb in colloquial speech. In the formal context I'd better say "doing well" (or you may substitute "well" with any other appropriate adverb).

Hi

"I hope you are doing well" is always preferable. The word: well indicates the manners, etiquette, dignity, and follows the protocol order.

" I hope you are doing good" is also acceptable, but only with your close friends.

Regards,
