HighLevel Workshops

HighLevel can help you do much more than capture leads and automate follow-up.

You can also use it to sell products and services online, take payments, sell gift cards and manage paid advertising campaigns through HighLevel Ad Manager.

That gives us two very different but closely related marketing activities:

• eCommerce – turning visitors into customers and taking payment;
• Ad Manager – driving the right people towards your offers, landing pages and funnels.

And because both can sit alongside your HighLevel CRM, workflows, forms, websites, pipelines and customer data, you can potentially create a much more joined-up sales system.

For example:

That’s what we’ll explore in our free HighLevel eCommerce & Ad Manager training workshop.

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

What Can You Sell With HighLevel?

HighLevel’s Payments area lets you create products and sell them through several different checkout experiences.

HighLevel currently supports products including:

• physical products;
• digital products;
• one-time offers;
• services;
• recurring subscriptions;
• and gift cards.

You don’t necessarily need a traditional eCommerce business to find this useful.

A consultant might sell a paid strategy session.

A training company might sell a workshop.

A membership organisation might sell recurring access.

A salon, restaurant or leisure business might sell gift cards.

An online retailer might build a complete product store.

The first question should therefore be:

“What are we actually selling, and what is the simplest customer journey for buying it?”

HighLevel Products Are the Foundation of eCommerce

Before somebody can buy something, HighLevel needs to understand what the product is and how it is priced.

Products are managed inside the Payments area.

Depending on what you’re selling, you may need to define:

• product name;
• description;
• price;
• one-time or recurring billing;
• variants;
• images;
• tax treatment;
• and where the product should be available for purchase.

Once the product exists, you can decide how the customer should buy it.

HighLevel Online Stores

HighLevel includes a dedicated eCommerce store builder.

A typical store can include:

• product listings;
• product detail pages;
• a shopping cart;
• checkout;
• and an order confirmation or thank-you page.

Customers can browse products, add items to their cart and complete the purchase online.

HighLevel can then track orders and transactions inside the Payments area.

Physical Products vs Digital Products

The customer journey may look very different depending on what you’re selling.

A physical product needs to be delivered.

A digital product may need immediate access.

A service may involve a booking.

A subscription may create an ongoing relationship.

So don’t think only about the checkout.

Think about what should happen after the payment succeeds.

HighLevel Can Track Orders and Fulfilment

For physical products, HighLevel allows businesses to track orders and manage fulfilment information.

This means the customer journey can extend beyond payment into the fulfilment process itself.

Sell Without Building a Full Online Store

Not every business needs a shopping cart.

Sometimes you simply need to take payment for one particular product or service.

HighLevel supports several ways to do this.

For example:

• payment links;
• order forms;
• forms with payment;
• sales funnels;
• calendars and services;
• course offers;
• invoices;
• or a complete online store.

HighLevel’s payment links are particularly useful where you simply want to send somebody a link and let them pay without building a complete webpage.

HighLevel Payment Links

A payment link gives you a simple hosted checkout page.

You create the product and price, generate the payment link and share it with the customer.

That could be useful in:

• emails;
• SMS messages;
• WhatsApp;
• sales conversations;
• quotations;
• or follow-up after a call.

This can be considerably simpler than asking somebody to navigate through a complete online store for a purchase they have already decided to make.

Sell Gift Cards With HighLevel

HighLevel also includes dedicated Gift Cards functionality inside the Payments area.

This gives businesses another way to generate revenue, attract new customers and encourage repeat purchases.

You can create branded digital gift cards with:

• your own artwork and branding;
• different denominations;
• expiry dates;
• terms and conditions;
• and different delivery options.

Customers can buy a gift card for themselves or send it to somebody else.

You can even allow the gift card to be delivered immediately or scheduled for a future date.

Different Ways to Sell HighLevel Gift Cards

HighLevel gives you several ways to sell gift cards.

Depending on your setup, you can use:

• a dedicated gift card checkout page;
• an embedded checkout on your website;
• a QR code;
• HighLevel Forms;
• Funnels;
• Stores;
• Payment Links;
• Invoices;
• Websites;
• and supported Calendars.

This means gift cards can fit naturally into the way customers already buy from your business.

For example, a salon, clinic, restaurant, leisure business, training company, consultant or service business could sell gift cards without needing a completely separate gift-card platform.

Use QR Codes to Sell Gift Cards Offline

One particularly interesting option is using a QR code.

Imagine a restaurant putting a gift card QR code on the bill.

A salon could put one at reception.

A leisure attraction could include one on printed material.

A business could even put one on a Christmas promotion.

The customer scans the code on their phone and is taken directly to the gift card purchase experience.

This creates a useful bridge between offline and online marketing.

HighLevel Gift Cards Aren’t Only for Gifting

Gift cards can also be used as a marketing and customer-retention tool.

HighLevel allows businesses to issue gift cards directly to contacts without requiring them to make a payment.

That could be useful for:

• customer loyalty rewards;
• VIP perks;
• service recovery;
• promotional credit;
• referral rewards;
• competition prizes;
• or simply thanking an important customer.

For example, imagine a valued customer has had a poor experience.

Instead of simply apologising, you might issue them a £25 gift card towards their next purchase.

Or perhaps you want to reward your best customers with credit they can spend with you.

This turns gift cards into both a sales tool and a customer retention tool.

HighLevel Tracks Gift Card Balances and Redemptions

Once a gift card has been issued, HighLevel can track information such as its status, original value, remaining balance and redemption.

That is important because a customer doesn’t necessarily have to spend the full gift card value in one transaction.

The remaining balance can continue to be available for future supported purchases.

HighLevel can also now support gift card redemption when businesses collect certain payments directly inside the platform, rather than requiring the customer to complete the checkout themselves.

HighLevel Can Sell Recurring Products and Subscriptions

Not every sale is a one-off transaction.

HighLevel can also support recurring products and subscriptions.

That could be useful for:

• memberships;
• software;
• support plans;
• recurring services;
• subscription products;
• or ongoing training.

This turns the CRM relationship into something longer term.

Rather than focusing only on:

“Did we make the sale?”

you can start thinking about:

“How do we retain, support and grow this customer over time?”

Coupons and Promotions in HighLevel

HighLevel also supports coupon codes.

Coupons can be used across supported areas including:

• funnels;
• stores;
• websites;
• payment links;
• calendars;
• services;
• and gift card sell pages.

You can create percentage or fixed-value discounts and control which eligible products, prices or variants the coupon applies to.

Again, use discounts because they support a marketing strategy.

Don’t train customers to wait for a coupon simply because the feature exists.

Payments Should Trigger the Next Customer Journey

A completed checkout shouldn’t necessarily be the end of the process.

It may be the start of the customer relationship.

For example:

This is where HighLevel’s eCommerce functionality becomes much more useful when connected with Automation & Workflows.

eCommerce Data Can Feed Your CRM

A purchase tells you something important about the customer.

They have moved from being a prospect to someone who has actually spent money with you.

Depending on your setup, that information can influence:

• customer segmentation;
• future email marketing;
• upsell opportunities;
• customer onboarding;
• review requests;
• renewal communication;
• reactivation;
• and sales reporting.

This is one of the biggest advantages of connecting eCommerce directly to the CRM.

Don’t Treat Every Customer the Same After Purchase

Someone who purchased Product A may need a different customer journey from somebody who bought Product B.

A subscription customer may need different communication from a one-off customer.

A gift card purchaser may be different from the person who eventually redeems the gift card.

A £10 purchaser may require a different sales strategy from somebody who bought a £10,000 service.

Good CRM data allows you to recognise those differences.

What Is HighLevel Ad Manager?

The second major part of this workshop is HighLevel Ad Manager.

Ad Manager provides a central place inside HighLevel for creating, managing and monitoring paid advertising campaigns.

HighLevel currently supports advertising across:

• Meta, including Facebook and Instagram;
• Google Ads;
• and LinkedIn Ads.

This brings advertising closer to the CRM, landing pages, forms and wider sales process.

HighLevel Ad Manager and Meta Ads

HighLevel Ad Manager can connect to Meta advertising assets so users can create and manage Meta campaigns.

That means businesses can manage Facebook and Instagram advertising from within HighLevel.

The relevant Meta advertising assets need to be connected before campaigns can be created and managed.

HighLevel Ad Manager and Google Ads

HighLevel also supports Google advertising.

This is particularly interesting for businesses trying to reach people who are actively searching for a product or service.

For example:

That lets us start thinking beyond the click and look at what happens to the prospect afterwards.

HighLevel Ad Manager and LinkedIn Ads

HighLevel’s Ad Manager also supports LinkedIn advertising.

That can be particularly relevant for B2B businesses where professional roles, companies and business audiences matter.

For example, a business selling services to Finance Directors, HR Managers or Managing Directors might consider LinkedIn alongside other advertising channels.

The exact campaign types and available settings vary by advertising platform.

Start With the Marketing Objective, Not the Ad Platform

This is another area where people often start in the wrong place.

Don’t begin with:

“Should we run Facebook ads?”

Start with:

“What are we trying to achieve?”

For example:

• generate leads;
• sell a product;
• book appointments;
• promote an event;
• build awareness;
• generate website traffic;
• sell gift cards;
• or reach a particular audience.

Only then decide whether Meta, Google, LinkedIn or another channel is the right fit.

The Ad Isn’t the Whole Campaign

A good advert can still produce a poor result if everything after the click is weak.

Think about the whole journey:

If the landing page doesn’t match the advert, conversion can suffer.

If nobody follows up the lead, the advertising budget is wasted.

If tracking is poor, you may not even know which campaigns generate real business.

Advertising needs to be thought about as part of the wider sales process.

Connect HighLevel Ads to Landing Pages and Funnels

HighLevel’s own Websites & Funnels can be particularly useful for advertising campaigns.

You can create a campaign-specific landing page that closely matches the advert.

For example:

That’s usually a more coherent customer journey than sending every advert to a generic homepage.

Advertising Leads Should Enter the CRM Properly

Generating leads isn’t enough.

The business needs to do something with them.

Ideally, a lead generated through paid advertising should become visible inside HighLevel with enough information to help your team understand:

• where the lead came from;
• what they were interested in;
• who is responsible for following up;
• what happened next;
• and whether the lead ultimately became a sale.

This is where advertising and Sales Pipelines & Opportunities begin working together.

Track Real Outcomes, Not Just Clicks

Advertising platforms naturally show metrics such as:

• impressions;
• clicks;
• cost per click;
• leads;
• and conversions.

But the business ultimately cares about things such as:

• qualified leads;
• appointments;
• proposals;
• sales;
• revenue;
• and profit.

The goal isn’t simply to buy traffic cheaply.

The goal is to understand whether that traffic is generating worthwhile business.

AI Is Now Part of HighLevel Ad Manager

HighLevel has also started bringing AI directly into Ad Manager.

AskAI for Ad Manager allows users to interact with supported advertising workflows using natural-language conversations.

You can describe what you’re trying to achieve and use AskAI to help with areas such as:

• campaign creation;
• audience setup;
• campaign management;
• performance analysis;
• and connecting advertising accounts.

The current AskAI functionality supports Meta and Google Ads workflows.

HighLevel keeps publication and destructive actions behind explicit confirmation, so the user retains control.

This is a good example of where AI can reduce technical friction.

But the marketing principle doesn’t change.

AI can help build the campaign. It still needs a worthwhile offer, audience and strategy.

Don’t Let AI Write Generic Ads

AI can produce ad copy quickly.

That doesn’t automatically make it persuasive.

Your strongest advertising often comes from understanding:

• the customer’s problem;
• the language they actually use;
• the objections they have;
• the result they want;
• your evidence;
• and why your offer is different.

AI can help turn those inputs into variations.

It shouldn’t replace the underlying marketing thinking.

eCommerce and Advertising Work Together

This is where the two halves of the workshop meet.

Advertising brings people into the customer journey.

Your eCommerce setup gives them somewhere to buy.

Your CRM records who they are.

Your workflows handle the follow-up.

For example:

That’s a much more useful way of thinking about advertising than treating the campaign as something that ends when somebody clicks the advert.

Don’t Forget Existing Customers

eCommerce marketing isn’t only about acquiring new customers.

Existing customers may represent:

• repeat purchases;
• upsells;
• cross-sells;
• subscription opportunities;
• gift card sales;
• renewals;
• referrals;
• and reviews.

Sometimes the cheapest sale is the one from somebody who already knows and trusts you.

Your HighLevel database can help identify those opportunities.

eCommerce & Ad Manager Training Backed by Real Marketing Experience

This is another area where my background influences how I teach HighLevel.

I’ve worked hands-on in direct marketing since 1996 and with CRM and marketing automation since 2009.

Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses improve, automate and systemise their marketing.

I’m also a Certified Entrepreneurs Circle Marketing Coach and have helped Entrepreneurs Circle GenieAI subscribers implement AI and marketing automation within their businesses.

Through my own HighLevel agency, MarketerM8, I’ve personally onboarded more than 100 HighLevel users.

So when we’re looking at eCommerce or advertising, I’m not simply asking:

“How do we create the product?”

or:

“How do we launch the ad?”

I’m asking:

• Who are we selling to?
• What do they actually want?
• What is the offer?
• How should the checkout work?
• What should happen after the sale?
• Which advertising channel makes sense?
• What should the landing page say?
• How do we follow up?
• And how do we measure whether the marketing generated real revenue?

That’s the difference between learning the software and using HighLevel as part of a genuine sales and marketing system.

eCommerce & Ad Manager Is Part of Our Free HighLevel Training Programme

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

The programme is designed to help you learn HighLevel one practical area at a time.

If you’re completely new to the platform, start with our HighLevel Foundations for Beginners workshop.

eCommerce & Ad Manager also connects particularly closely with:

• Websites & Funnels, because advertising and products need effective pages;
• Automation & Workflows, because sales and leads should trigger follow-up;
• Database Management, because purchase and advertising data becomes part of your CRM;
• and Sales Pipelines & Opportunities, because advertising leads should ultimately be tracked through to sales.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer?

No.

You don’t need to be a MarketerM8 subscriber to attend our free live HighLevel training workshops.

You can attend whether you’re already using HighLevel, considering the platform or simply want to understand more about its eCommerce and advertising functionality.

What If I Need Help With My Own HighLevel eCommerce or Advertising Setup?

A live workshop can teach you the functionality and principles.

But your own sales process may need more detailed work.

Perhaps you need help:

• creating products;
• setting up an online store;
• building payment links;
• setting up subscriptions;
• creating and selling gift cards;
• creating coupon campaigns;
• connecting purchases to workflows;
• building landing pages;
• configuring Ad Manager;
• connecting Meta or Google Ads;
• setting up conversion tracking;
• mapping advertising leads into your sales pipeline;
• or training your team.

That’s where I can provide remote HighLevel training and Done-With-You implementation.

For larger projects and teams, on-site HighLevel training and implementation is also available throughout the UK and internationally.

If you’re experiencing a technical problem rather than needing implementation or training, take a look at my guide to HighLevel support in the UK.

Ready to Sell More With HighLevel?

Don’t think of eCommerce as simply:

“How do we take payment?”

And don’t think of advertising as simply:

“How do we get more clicks?”

Think about the complete journey.

Who are we targeting?

What are we offering?

Where should they land?

How do they buy or enquire?

What happens after that?

And did the campaign actually generate profitable business?

That’s exactly what our eCommerce & Ad Manager workshop is designed to help you understand.

HighLevel isn’t only a CRM, marketing automation and sales platform.

You can also use it to create and sell online courses, deliver training, run events and manage ticketing and create Communities.

That opens up a completely different range of possibilities for businesses, consultants, training providers, membership organisations and event organisers.

You could potentially use HighLevel to:

• create an online course;
• sell paid training;
• deliver free customer education;
• provide onboarding or staff training;
• offer recurring membership-based learning;
• run workshops and seminars;
• manage conferences;
• host webinars and online events;
• sell event tickets;
• run free RSVP events;
• issue QR-code tickets;
• check attendees in at the venue;
• and automate communication before and after an event.

And because your courses and events can sit alongside your CRM, payments, email, SMS, workflows and customer data, you can create a much more joined-up experience.

That’s what we’ll explore in our free HighLevel Events & Courses training workshop.

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

Can You Build Online Courses in HighLevel?

Yes.

HighLevel includes dedicated course functionality that lets you create, organise and deliver online learning.

A course can contain structured content that learners work through over time.

That might include:

• video lessons;
• written content;
• training modules;
• supporting resources;
• downloadable material;
• and other learning content.

HighLevel’s current course system allows you to create the course, organise the content, create an offer, configure pricing and then make the course available to learners.

Who Could Use HighLevel Courses?

The obvious use case is somebody selling online training.

But that’s far from the only one.

HighLevel courses could potentially be useful for:

• coaches;
• consultants;
• training businesses;
• membership organisations;
• professional services firms;
• software companies;
• franchises;
• customer onboarding;
• internal staff training;
• partner education;
• and lead-generation programmes.

A course doesn’t necessarily need to be something you sell.

It could simply be the most effective way of delivering repeatable information.

Free Courses vs Paid Courses in HighLevel

HighLevel can support both free and paid course models.

You might create a free course to:

• generate leads;
• educate prospects;
• support customer onboarding;
• teach customers how to use your service;
• or demonstrate your expertise.

Alternatively, the course itself may be the product.

HighLevel currently allows course pricing structures including free, one-time payment and recurring payment.

This means the platform can potentially support both straightforward course sales and ongoing membership-style training.

Start With the Learning Outcome, Not the Course Builder

This follows exactly the same philosophy we’ve used throughout these HighLevel workshops.

Don’t start with:

“How do I create a course in HighLevel?”

Start with:

“What should somebody know or be able to do when they’ve completed the course?”

Then work backwards.

What modules do they need?

What lessons?

What examples?

What supporting resources?

What order should everything be taught in?

HighLevel is the delivery platform.

It doesn’t replace good training design.

Structure Your HighLevel Course Properly

A common mistake when building online courses is simply uploading a collection of videos and calling it a course.

A useful course should guide the learner through a logical journey.

Think about:

• what they need to understand first;
• what can be taught later;
• how long lessons should be;
• where examples will help;
• what practical action they should take;
• and how each lesson builds on the previous one.

The technology is easy compared with designing a genuinely useful learning experience.

HighLevel Courses Can Be Sold as Offers

Creating the course content is only one part of selling online training.

You also need to decide how somebody gets access to it.

HighLevel uses offers as part of this process.

This lets you package and sell access to your course with an appropriate pricing structure.

For example:

• free access;
• one-off course payment;
• recurring membership;
• or another suitable offer structure.

The commercial model should reflect the value you’re providing rather than simply copying what another course creator does.

Courses Can Become Part of a Wider Customer Journey

This is where using HighLevel becomes particularly interesting.

Imagine somebody purchases a course.

You may want the process to look something like this:

Now your online course isn’t isolated from your CRM.

It becomes part of the wider customer relationship.

Use Courses for Customer Onboarding

One of my favourite non-traditional uses of online courses is customer onboarding.

If every new customer needs to learn the same things, ask whether some of that education could be delivered systematically.

For example, an onboarding course could explain:

• how your service works;
• what happens next;
• what information you need;
• how customers should communicate with you;
• how to use a portal or software platform;
• common questions;
• and how to get the best result from working with you.

This doesn’t necessarily replace personal service.

It can remove repetitive explanation so your team has more time for higher-value conversations.

Use HighLevel Courses for Staff Training

The same principle can apply internally.

Perhaps every new employee needs training on:

• company processes;
• systems;
• customer service standards;
• sales procedures;
• compliance;
• or specific job responsibilities.

Instead of relying entirely on one employee repeatedly delivering the same training, structured course content can create consistency.

That can be particularly valuable when a business is growing.

What About HighLevel Communities?

HighLevel also includes Communities.

This allows you to create a private or branded space where members can interact, access content and engage with each other.

A community could potentially sit alongside your course.

For example:

HighLevel also allows courses to be made available within communities, including paid-course models.

But for this workshop, we’ll keep the main focus on Courses and Events, with Communities as an additional option where it makes sense.

HighLevel Now Has Dedicated Events & Ticketing

This is one of the most significant developments in this part of HighLevel.

HighLevel now has a dedicated Events system for managing public-facing events.

This is different from simply creating an appointment calendar.

HighLevel Events is designed for things such as:

• workshops;
• seminars;
• conferences;
• webinars;
• networking events;
• open days;
• live performances;
• training events;
• and other experiences where people register or buy tickets.

The event can then be managed from the same HighLevel account as your CRM, payments and marketing.

Ticketed Events vs RSVP Events

HighLevel currently supports two main event models.

Ticketed Events

A ticketed event can have ticket types and a checkout process.

That can be useful for:

• paid workshops;
• conferences;
• training days;
• concerts;
• paid webinars;
• VIP events;
• and other events where a ticket is required.

RSVP Events

An RSVP event is designed for events where people need to register but don’t need to go through a payment checkout.

For example:

• free workshops;
• networking events;
• open days;
• free webinars;
• internal events;
• or community gatherings.

The distinction matters because the customer journey is different.

HighLevel Events Can Be In-Person or Online

Events aren’t restricted to physical venues.

HighLevel supports different location models.

An in-person event can include a physical venue and address.

An online event can include information such as:

• meeting link;
• joining instructions;
• session information;
• and access details.

This makes the event functionality relevant to both physical and virtual training.

Create a Public Event Page in HighLevel

Every event needs somewhere to explain what it is and why people should attend.

HighLevel Events allows you to create a public event experience including information such as:

• event title;
• description;
• date and time;
• location;
• ticket or RSVP options;
• event schedule;
• speakers;
• and registration.

That means you don’t necessarily need one system for the event page, another for ticket sales and another for your CRM.

Sell Multiple Ticket Types

HighLevel’s current event system supports multiple ticket types.

That opens up possibilities such as:

• Standard Ticket;
• VIP Ticket;
• Early Bird Ticket;
• Member Ticket;
• Free Ticket;
• or other pricing tiers.

You can also manage ticket pricing, inventory and sales windows.

This makes the system considerably more useful for events where different attendees need different access or pricing.

Use Ticket Limits to Manage Capacity

Physical venues have limits.

Some online events do too.

Your ticket setup can help control how many places are available.

This can prevent the awkward situation of selling more tickets than the event can accommodate.

HighLevel Events Can Use Coupon Codes and Add-Ons

The current Events platform also supports promotional functionality including coupon codes and add-ons.

This means the event sales process can potentially support:

• discount codes;
• promotional pricing;
• additional purchases;
• or event extras.

Again, only use these where they genuinely improve the offer.

Don’t add commercial complexity simply because the feature exists.

HighLevel Generates QR-Code Tickets

Once someone registers for a ticketed event, HighLevel can issue a QR-code ticket.

That QR code can then be used when the attendee arrives.

This brings the online registration process into the physical event itself.

Check Attendees In With the HighLevel Mobile App

At the event, staff can scan tickets using the HighLevel mobile app.

That lets you check attendees in and track attendance.

So the journey can become:

That is a genuine event-management workflow rather than simply an online booking form.

Why Event Check-In Data Matters

Knowing who registered is useful.

Knowing who actually attended is even more useful.

There is often a meaningful difference between the two.

Attendance data can inform what happens next.

For example:

• attendees may receive event follow-up;
• no-shows may receive a recording or another invitation;
• VIP attendees may follow a different journey;
• or sales opportunities may be created based on attendance.

This is where Events and the HighLevel CRM begin working together.

Use Workflows Before and After Events

HighLevel Events can work with workflows.

That means you can potentially automate communication around the event.

For example:

Before the event you might send:

• confirmation;
• joining instructions;
• venue details;
• reminders;
• or preparation information.

Afterwards you might send:

• thank-you messages;
• slides or resources;
• recordings;
• feedback requests;
• review requests;
• or an appropriate sales follow-up.

Events Can Feed Your HighLevel CRM

One of the most useful aspects of managing events inside HighLevel is that attendees can sit inside the same wider CRM environment as your other contacts.

That means you can potentially understand:

• who registered;
• which ticket they bought;
• which event they’re attending;
• whether they actually attended;
• what previous relationship you have with them;
• and what communication should happen next.

The event isn’t disconnected from the customer relationship.

Events Can Support Lead Generation

An event doesn’t necessarily need to generate ticket revenue to be commercially valuable.

Free workshops, seminars and webinars can be excellent lead-generation tools.

For example:

The ticket price may be zero.

The commercial value may come from the relationship the event creates.

Paid Events Can Become a Revenue Stream

Alternatively, the event itself may be the product.

You could potentially charge for:

• workshops;
• training days;
• seminars;
• conferences;
• masterclasses;
• networking events;
• or specialist sessions.

The important thing is to decide whether the primary objective is:

revenue, lead generation, customer education, community building, or a combination of those things.

Courses and Events Can Work Together

This is where the workshop becomes particularly interesting.

Courses and events don’t have to be separate strategies.

For example:

Or:

You can combine self-paced learning with live experiences.

Courses, Events and Communities Can Form a Complete Learning Ecosystem

Although Communities aren’t the main focus of this workshop, they’re worth mentioning because they can connect the other pieces.

You could potentially have:

• Courses for structured learning;
• Events for live interaction;
• Communities for discussion and peer support;
• Workflows for communication and automation;
• CRM for managing the underlying relationship.

That can create a much more complete learning or membership environment.

Course and Event Training Backed by Real Marketing Experience

This is where my background influences how I approach these tools.

I’ve worked hands-on in direct marketing since 1996 and with CRM and marketing automation since 2009.

Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses improve, automate and systemise their marketing.

I’m also a Certified Entrepreneurs Circle Marketing Coach and have helped Entrepreneurs Circle GenieAI subscribers implement AI and marketing automation within their businesses.

Through my own HighLevel agency, MarketerM8, I’ve personally onboarded more than 100 HighLevel users.

So when we look at courses and events, I’m not simply asking:

“How do we create this inside HighLevel?”

I’m asking:

• Who is this for?
• What should they learn or experience?
• Why should they attend or buy?
• Should it be free or paid?
• What should happen before they join?
• What should happen afterwards?
• How does it fit into the customer journey?
• And how can HighLevel automate the repetitive parts?

That’s the difference between using the functionality and designing something commercially useful.

Courses, Events & Ticketing Is Part of Our Free HighLevel Training Programme

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

The programme is designed to help you learn HighLevel one practical area at a time.

If you’re completely new to HighLevel, start with our HighLevel Foundations for Beginners workshop.

Courses and Events also connect closely with:

• Automation & Workflows, because course access and event communication can become part of automated customer journeys;
• Database Management, because learners and attendees are contacts in your CRM;
• and Websites & Funnels, because course sales and event registrations often start with a marketing page.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer?

No.

You don’t need to be a MarketerM8 subscriber to attend our free live HighLevel training workshops.

You can attend whether you’re already using HighLevel, considering the platform or simply want to understand more about its course, event and ticketing functionality.

What If I Need Help Building My Own HighLevel Course or Event?

A live workshop can teach you the functionality and principles.

But your own project may need more detailed help.

Perhaps you need assistance:

• structuring an online course;
• creating course offers;
• setting up paid access;
• building customer onboarding training;
• creating a staff training programme;
• setting up a ticketed event;
• creating several ticket types;
• building an RSVP event;
• configuring event pages;
• creating QR-ticket check-in;
• automating attendee communication;
• connecting event attendees to your CRM;
• building event follow-up;
• or training your team.

That’s where I can provide remote HighLevel training and Done-With-You implementation.

For larger projects and teams, on-site HighLevel training and implementation is also available throughout the UK and internationally.

If you’re experiencing a technical problem rather than needing implementation or training, take a look at my guide to HighLevel support in the UK.

If you need landing pages for selling courses or promoting events, our Websites & Funnels workshop is another natural next step.

You can explore all the subjects in our free HighLevel training programme.

Ready to Create Courses or Run Events With HighLevel?

Don’t start with:

“Which HighLevel feature should I use?”

Start with the experience you want to create.

If you’re teaching something:

What should the learner know or be able to do?

If you’re running an event:

Why should somebody attend, and what should happen before and after they do?

Then use HighLevel to support the process.

That’s exactly what our Courses, Events & Ticketing workshop is designed to help you understand.

HighLevel isn’t only a CRM and automation platform.

It can also help you manage two areas that have a major influence on how prospects see your business:

• your social media presence;
• and your online reputation.

With HighLevel’s Social Planner, you can plan, create, schedule and publish social media content from one place.

And with HighLevel Reputation Management, you can build processes around requesting, monitoring and making better use of customer reviews and testimonials.

Those two things are closely connected.

Social media helps people discover and understand your business.

Reviews and testimonials help provide the social proof that gives them confidence to choose you.

Our free HighLevel Social Media & Reputation training workshop is designed to show you how both areas work inside HighLevel and how they can support your wider marketing.

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

What Is HighLevel Social Planner?

HighLevel Social Planner is designed to let you manage social content from one central place.

You can connect supported social accounts, create content, schedule posts and view planned activity through a social media calendar.

HighLevel currently supports Social Planner connections across platforms including:

• Facebook;
• Instagram;
• Threads;
• Google Business Profile;
• LinkedIn;
• TikTok;
• YouTube;
• Pinterest;
• HighLevel Community;
• and Bluesky.

The available post formats and analytics vary by platform, but the central idea is straightforward:

Why Manage Social Media From HighLevel?

The obvious benefit is convenience.

Instead of jumping between several social platforms simply to schedule content, you can manage much of the process from HighLevel.

But there’s another benefit.

Your social media activity is sitting inside the same wider platform as your:

• CRM;
• email marketing;
• forms;
• websites;
• sales pipelines;
• reputation management;
• and automation.

That means social media stops feeling like a completely separate marketing activity.

Don’t Start With “What Should We Post?”

This is one of the most common social media questions.

But I’d start one step earlier.

Ask:

“What role should social media play in our marketing?”

Are you trying to:

• build awareness?
• demonstrate expertise?
• show proof and results?
• educate prospects?
• drive people to your website?
• promote events?
• support recruitment?
• generate enquiries?
• stay front of mind with existing customers?

Once you know the objective, deciding what to post becomes much easier.

Plan Social Media Content Instead of Posting Randomly

One of the biggest benefits of a social planner is being able to think ahead.

Rather than realising at 4pm that you haven’t posted anything this week, you can build a content plan in advance.

For example, your content might include a mixture of:

• educational posts;
• case studies;
• customer stories;
• reviews;
• video testimonials;
• behind-the-scenes content;
• FAQs;
• blog content;
• offers;
• events;
• team content;
• and opinion or commentary.

The exact mix depends on your business and audience.

The important thing is that your social media becomes intentional rather than accidental.

Schedule Social Media Posts in Advance

HighLevel Social Planner allows you to schedule content for future publication.

This can be useful if you want to batch your social media activity.

For example, you might spend an hour creating several posts and then schedule them across the next few weeks.

That doesn’t mean your social media should become completely automated or robotic.

There will still be opportunities to respond to current events, conversations and comments.

But scheduling the core content can remove the pressure of constantly having to think of something new to publish.

HighLevel Social Planner Supports Post Approvals

This can be particularly useful if several people are involved in your marketing.

HighLevel supports social post approval workflows.

That means content can be prepared and then reviewed before publication.

HighLevel also supports an external approval process using a secure link, allowing somebody such as a client or stakeholder to approve or reject posts without needing to log into HighLevel.

This is useful for:

• marketing teams;
• agencies;
• business owners reviewing staff content;
• regulated businesses;
• and organisations where several people need visibility before something goes live.

You Can Manage Social Comments From HighLevel

Social media isn’t only about publishing.

It’s about conversations too.

HighLevel’s Social Planner supports comment management for several major platforms, allowing users to view and respond to comments from one dashboard.

This can help reduce the need to constantly jump between different social applications.

But the principle remains the same:

Don’t simply broadcast. Pay attention to the conversation.

HighLevel Social Media Analytics

Scheduling content is only one part of the process.

You also need to learn what is actually working.

HighLevel includes Social Planner analytics across supported social platforms.

That can help you review social performance and understand which types of content are generating attention or engagement.

But don’t become obsessed with vanity metrics.

A post getting 5,000 views isn’t necessarily more commercially useful than a post getting 200 views from exactly the right people.

Think about what the business objective is.

What Is HighLevel Reputation Management?

The second major part of this workshop is Reputation Management.

For many businesses, online reviews and testimonials influence whether a prospect decides to contact you.

People want reassurance.

They want to know:

• Have other people used you?
• Were they happy?
• Can they trust you?
• Do you deliver what you promise?

A strong collection of genuine reviews and customer testimonials helps answer those questions.

Why Google Reviews Matter

Google reviews can influence both trust and local visibility.

If somebody searches for a local business and sees one company with dozens or hundreds of positive reviews while another has very few, that difference can influence which business gets the enquiry.

Reviews also provide something marketers have relied on for decades:

social proof.

It’s one thing for you to say you’re good.

It’s much more persuasive when customers say it for you.

HighLevel Can Help You Request Reviews

One of the most useful parts of HighLevel Reputation Management is the ability to build a repeatable review-request process.

HighLevel supports review requests through channels including email and SMS.

You can customise the messages, review links and follow-up sequence.

For example:

The objective isn’t to annoy customers into leaving reviews.

It’s to make it easy for a happy customer to do something they may genuinely be willing to do but would otherwise forget.

The Best Time to Ask for a Review

Timing matters.

You don’t necessarily want to ask for a review at an arbitrary point simply because a workflow says so.

Think about when the customer is likely to feel most positive about the result you’ve delivered.

That could be:

• after a job is completed;
• after a successful appointment;
• after a product arrives;
• after a positive customer service interaction;
• or after somebody has achieved a result.

The better the timing, the more natural the request feels.

Don’t Wait Until Someone Remembers to Ask

This is where automation helps.

Many businesses say they want more reviews.

The real problem is that nobody consistently asks for them.

HighLevel can help turn review generation from:

“We should probably ask that customer for a review.”

into a repeatable business process.

That consistency can make a significant difference over time.

HighLevel Reviews Can Feed Back Into Social Media

This is where the two halves of this workshop connect nicely.

A good customer review isn’t only useful on Google or Facebook.

It can become marketing content.

HighLevel’s Social Planner includes functionality for sharing reviews as social media posts.

That means genuine customer feedback can potentially be repurposed as social proof across your social channels.

For example:

That’s a much more joined-up approach than treating reviews and social media as two unrelated marketing activities.

HighLevel Can Request, Collect & Display Video Testimonials Too

Written reviews are powerful.

But sometimes seeing and hearing a real customer explain their experience can be even more persuasive.

HighLevel now includes a dedicated Video Testimonials feature within Reputation Management.

This allows you to create branded Video Collectors that make it easy for customers to record or upload a video testimonial.

They don’t need to download an app.

They can open the link on their phone or computer and record their testimonial.

You can also give them up to three questions to help guide what they talk about.

For example:

This can make it considerably easier for customers who are happy to provide a testimonial but aren’t sure what to say.

Request Video Testimonials by Email, SMS or WhatsApp

HighLevel lets you send Video Testimonial requests through:

• email;
• SMS;
• WhatsApp;
• or by sharing the Video Collector link directly.

This means collecting video testimonials can become part of your customer follow-up process rather than something you have to organise manually every time.

For example:

That’s a potentially very powerful reputation-building process.

Display Video Testimonials on Your Website

Once you’ve collected a video testimonial, it doesn’t have to sit hidden away inside your HighLevel account.

HighLevel allows video testimonials to be displayed through its Review Widgets.

You can use them as social proof on your website or landing pages.

For example, video testimonials could be particularly effective on:

• your homepage;
• service pages;
• landing pages;
• sales pages;
• booking pages;
• and pages where prospects are close to making a decision.

A written five-star review tells somebody that a customer was happy.

A video testimonial can let the prospect see the customer, hear their story and understand the result in their own words.

That can provide a very different level of social proof.

Display Written Reviews on Your Website Too

Your written reviews can also support your website and landing pages.

HighLevel’s Reputation tools include review widget functionality for displaying customer reviews.

That can be useful on:

• homepages;
• service pages;
• landing pages;
• booking pages;
• sales funnels;
• and other places where trust matters.

The closer somebody gets to making a decision, the more useful genuine proof can become.

Reputation Management Isn’t About Hiding Bad Reviews

This is important.

A good reputation strategy isn’t simply about trying to manufacture a perfect five-star image.

Real businesses occasionally have unhappy customers.

What matters is:

• understanding what went wrong;
• responding appropriately;
• learning from recurring complaints;
• and improving the customer experience.

A negative review can sometimes expose a genuine operational problem that needs fixing.

Reputation management should therefore feed back into how the business operates.

Monitor Your Reputation, Not Just Your Review Count

HighLevel’s Reputation area provides more than a simple total number of reviews.

You can monitor information around areas such as:

• review requests;
• reviews received;
• average rating;
• review trends;
• sentiment;
• video testimonials;
• and recent reviews.

That gives you a better picture of whether your reputation is improving and how consistently your review process is working.

Your Google Business Profile Matters Too

For many local businesses, Google Business Profile is an important part of their online presence.

HighLevel’s social and reputation tools include functionality around Google Business Profile.

This gives businesses another way to manage aspects of local visibility from within the platform.

Social Media and Reputation Should Support Each Other

I don’t see social media and reputation management as two completely separate activities.

They reinforce each other.

Your social media can demonstrate:

• expertise;
• personality;
• experience;
• activity;
• customer stories;
• and proof.

Your written reviews reinforce trust.

Your video testimonials bring those customer experiences to life.

And both can become content for your wider marketing.

Together, they help answer a prospect’s unspoken question:

“Can I trust this business?”

Don’t Automate the Personality Out of Social Media

This matters particularly now that AI can produce huge volumes of content.

Just because you can generate 30 posts in five minutes doesn’t mean you should publish them all.

Social media works best when there is something human behind it.

Experience.

Opinion.

Examples.

Stories.

Actual customer results.

AI and scheduling tools can help you create and distribute content more efficiently.

But they shouldn’t turn your business into a stream of generic posts that could have been written for anyone.

HighLevel Social Media Training Backed by Real Marketing Experience

This is another area where my background influences how I teach HighLevel.

I’ve worked hands-on in direct marketing since 1996 and with CRM and marketing automation since 2009.

Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses improve, automate and systemise their marketing.

I’m also a Certified Entrepreneurs Circle Marketing Coach and have helped Entrepreneurs Circle GenieAI subscribers implement AI and marketing automation within their businesses.

Through my own HighLevel agency, MarketerM8, I’ve personally onboarded more than 100 HighLevel users.

So when we look at Social Planner and Reputation Management, I’m not simply asking:

“How do we schedule this post?”

or:

“How do we send this review request?”

I’m also asking:

• Why are we posting?
• Who are we trying to reach?
• What evidence can we show?
• What content builds trust?
• When is the right time to ask for a review?
• When should we ask for a video testimonial?
• How can reviews and testimonials feed back into our marketing?
• And how can automation make the process more consistent without making it impersonal?

That’s the difference between learning the software and learning how to use it as a marketer.

HighLevel Social Planner includes analytics across supported platforms.

Use the data to understand what content is working, but consider engagement metrics in the context of your wider marketing objectives.

Can Social Media Posts Be Approved Before Publishing?

Yes.

HighLevel supports post approval workflows within Social Planner.

This can be useful when content needs to be checked by a manager, client or another stakeholder before it goes live.

Can Someone Approve a HighLevel Social Post Without Logging In?

Yes.

HighLevel supports external social post approval using a secure link.

This allows clients or other stakeholders to review proposed content without needing their own HighLevel login.

Does GoHighLevel Have Reputation Management?

Yes.

HighLevel includes Reputation Management tools for requesting, monitoring and displaying reviews and testimonials.

Can HighLevel Ask Customers for Google Reviews?

Yes.

HighLevel can be configured to send review requests directing customers towards the appropriate review destination.

This can help businesses create a more consistent process for generating genuine customer reviews.

Can HighLevel Send Review Requests by SMS?

Yes.

HighLevel supports review request messaging by SMS where messaging is configured.

Can HighLevel Send Review Requests by Email?

Yes.

Email review requests are also supported, with customisable messaging and follow-up options.

Can HighLevel Automatically Follow Up Review Requests?

Yes.

HighLevel can support follow-up around review requests.

The objective should be to make reviewing easy without repeatedly pestering customers.

Does GoHighLevel Have Video Testimonials?

Yes.

HighLevel has a dedicated Video Testimonials feature within Reputation Management.

You can create branded Video Collectors that allow customers to record or upload video testimonials from a phone or computer.

Do Customers Need an App to Record a HighLevel Video Testimonial?

No.

Customers can record or upload their testimonial through the Video Collector using a modern desktop or mobile browser.

They don’t need to install a separate app.

Can HighLevel Ask Customers Questions During a Video Testimonial?

Yes.

You can add up to three questions to a Video Collector.

This is useful because many customers are happy to provide a testimonial but aren’t sure what to say.

A few carefully chosen questions can help them tell a much more useful story.

Can HighLevel Request Video Testimonials by WhatsApp?

Yes.

Video testimonial requests can be sent through email, SMS or WhatsApp.

You can also share the Video Collector link directly.

Can I Put HighLevel Video Testimonials on My Website?

Yes.

Video testimonials collected through HighLevel can be displayed using HighLevel Review Widgets.

This allows you to turn customer experiences into visible social proof on your website and marketing pages.

How Long Can a HighLevel Video Testimonial Be?

HighLevel currently allows video testimonials of up to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

That’s generally enough time for a customer to explain their experience and the result they achieved without the testimonial becoming unnecessarily long.

Can HighLevel Display Written Reviews on My Website?

Yes.

HighLevel includes review widget functionality that can be used to display reviews as social proof on websites and marketing pages.

Can HighLevel Turn Reviews Into Social Media Posts?

Yes.

HighLevel Social Planner includes functionality for sharing reviews as social posts.

This is a useful way of turning customer feedback into ongoing social proof.

Can HighLevel Help Manage Google Business Profile?

Yes.

HighLevel provides Google Business Profile-related functionality within its social and reputation tools.

Should I Automate Every Review Request?

Not blindly.

Automation can create consistency, but think about whether the customer has actually reached an appropriate point in the journey.

Ask when they are most likely to feel satisfied with the result you’ve delivered.

Should I Respond to Negative Reviews?

Generally, a thoughtful and professional response can be useful.

Don’t become defensive or argue publicly.

Where there is a genuine problem, acknowledge it appropriately and use the feedback to improve the business.

How Many Google Reviews Should My Business Have?

There isn’t a universal target.

The more useful question is how your number, quality and recency of reviews compare with the businesses prospects are likely to consider alongside you.

Build reviews consistently rather than treating reputation as a one-off campaign.

Is the HighLevel Social Media & Reputation Workshop Free?

Yes.

The Social Media & Reputation workshop is part of MarketerM8’s programme of free live HighLevel training workshops.

There’s no charge to attend the live workshop.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer to Attend?

No.

You can attend our free HighLevel training workshops without being a MarketerM8 subscriber.

Can I Ask Questions During the Social Media & Reputation Workshop?

Yes.

That’s one of the advantages of live HighLevel training.

You can see the tools being explained and ask questions about the social media, reviews and video testimonial topics we’re discussing.

What Should I Learn After HighLevel Social Media & Reputation?

If you want to automate review requests and customer follow-up, our HighLevel Automation & Workflows workshop is particularly relevant.

If you want to display reviews and video testimonials on landing pages, our Websites & Funnels workshop is another useful next step.

You can explore all the subjects in our free HighLevel training programme.

Ready to Improve Your Social Media & Online Reputation?

Don’t think of social media as simply:

“We need to post more.”

And don’t think of reputation management as simply:

“We need more five-star reviews.”

Think about the bigger picture.

What do prospects need to see in order to know, like and trust your business?

Your social content demonstrates expertise, personality and activity.

Your written reviews provide proof.

Your video testimonials allow real customers to tell their own stories.

HighLevel can help make all three processes more organised and consistent.

That’s exactly what our Social Media & Reputation workshop is designed to help you understand.

HighLevel isn’t only a CRM and marketing automation platform.

You can also use it to build websites, landing pages and sales funnels.

That means your website, forms, calendars, CRM, workflows and follow-up can all potentially sit inside the same system.

For example:

That’s where HighLevel websites and funnels become interesting.

You’re not simply building pages.

You’re building the front end of a customer journey that connects directly into your CRM and automation.

Our free HighLevel Websites & Funnels training workshop is designed to show you how the tools work and, more importantly, how to use them as part of your wider marketing system.

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

What Is the HighLevel Website Builder?

HighLevel includes a visual website builder that lets you create webpages without needing to code everything from scratch.

You can build pages using sections, rows, columns and content elements such as:

• headlines;
• text;
• images;
• buttons;
• forms;
• surveys;
• calendars;
• videos;
• testimonials;
• and other content.

The important advantage is that these pages can connect directly with the rest of your HighLevel account.

So if somebody completes a form or books an appointment, the CRM and automation can immediately take over.

What’s the Difference Between a Website and a Funnel?

This is one of the first things to understand.

A website normally gives visitors several choices.

They may browse:

• your homepage;
• services;
• about page;
• contact page;
• blog;
• or other information.

A funnel is usually more focused.

It is designed around a particular journey or conversion objective.

For example:

Or:

The exact terminology matters less than understanding the objective.

What do you want the visitor to do next?

Start With the Customer Journey, Not the Page Builder

Before you start dragging sections onto a HighLevel page, ask what you’re trying to achieve.

For example:

• Generate an enquiry?
• Get somebody to book a call?
• Sell a product?
• Register somebody for an event?
• Capture a lead magnet request?
• Explain a service?
• Get someone to complete an application?

Once you know the objective, the page becomes much easier to design.

A Pretty Website Isn’t Necessarily a Good Website

It’s very easy to get distracted by design.

Animations.

Fancy backgrounds.

Huge images.

Interesting layouts.

But none of those things automatically make a page effective.

A useful page needs to communicate clearly.

The visitor should quickly understand:

• what you do;
• who it’s for;
• why they should care;
• what action they should take;
• and what happens next.

Design should support the message, not compete with it.

HighLevel Landing Pages

Landing pages are often used for a specific marketing campaign.

For example, you might create a dedicated page for:

• a Google Ads campaign;
• a Facebook or Instagram campaign;
• a lead magnet;
• a webinar;
• an event;
• a service offer;
• or a particular audience.

A dedicated landing page can be much more focused than sending everyone to your homepage.

It lets you align the message closely with the advert, email or link that brought the visitor there.

Use HighLevel Forms to Capture Leads

One of the most natural integrations is between HighLevel pages and HighLevel forms, surveys and quizzes.

A visitor lands on the page.

They complete a form.

The data can go directly into your CRM.

From there you can potentially:

• create a contact;
• update custom fields;
• create an opportunity;
• notify your team;
• send confirmation;
• or trigger a workflow.

That’s much more useful than receiving another website enquiry in an inbox and hoping somebody remembers to deal with it.

Use HighLevel Calendars on Your Website or Funnel

You can also integrate HighLevel calendars into your customer journey.

For example:

Now the webpage, calendar, CRM and automation are all working together.

Connect Your HighLevel Website to Workflows

This is where the wider platform becomes particularly valuable.

A webpage isn’t necessarily the end of the marketing journey.

It may simply be the point where somebody takes an action that triggers the next stage.

For example:

You can learn more about that in our HighLevel Automation & Workflows workshop.

Websites and Sales Pipelines Can Work Together

If your website generates sales enquiries, those leads should ideally become visible in your CRM.

A form submission can potentially become a new opportunity in your HighLevel sales pipeline.

That helps your team answer:

• Who has just enquired?
• Who is responsible?
• Has anyone followed up?
• What stage is the opportunity at?
• What might the sale be worth?

This is where your website stops being a brochure and starts becoming part of the sales system.

HighLevel Funnels Can Support Lead Generation

A funnel can be particularly useful when you want to guide somebody through a specific series of steps.

For example:

Or:

The funnel provides the visible journey.

HighLevel’s CRM and workflows can handle much of what happens behind the scenes.

HighLevel Funnels Can Support Sales

Funnels can also be used further down the buying journey.

For example:

• sales pages;
• order pages;
• upsell pages;
• confirmation pages;
• application funnels;
• consultation booking funnels;
• or offer-specific landing pages.

Again, the structure should be driven by what you’re trying to achieve rather than simply copying somebody else’s funnel.

Don’t Make Every Page a Funnel

Funnels are useful.

That doesn’t mean every visitor should be forced through a tightly controlled journey.

Sometimes people want to explore your business.

They want to read about several services.

They want to know who you are.

They want to browse before taking action.

That’s what a traditional website is good at.

Use websites and funnels for the jobs they’re best suited to rather than treating one as universally better than the other.

HighLevel Websites Can Use Your Own Domain

For a professional website or funnel, you’ll normally want to use your own domain or subdomain rather than a generic temporary URL.

This helps keep your brand consistent and makes pages easier to present professionally.

Domain setup can feel technical the first time you do it, but it’s an important part of publishing a HighLevel website properly.

Think About Mobile First

Many visitors will see your page on a phone.

So don’t design the page on a large desktop screen and assume it will automatically work well everywhere else.

Check:

• headlines;
• font sizes;
• buttons;
• images;
• forms;
• spacing;
• navigation;
• and page length.

Make sure the important action is obvious on mobile too.

Page Speed Matters

A webpage that takes too long to load creates friction before the visitor has even read your offer.

Large images, unnecessary scripts and overly complicated pages can all contribute to poor performance.

Keep pages as lean as they reasonably can be.

Again, more design elements don’t necessarily create a better marketing result.

HighLevel Websites and SEO

If you’re building a website that you want people to discover through Google or AI search, content and structure matter.

You need to think about things such as:

• page titles;
• clear headings;
• useful content;
• search intent;
• internal links;
• image alt text;
• meta descriptions;
• and page structure.

SEO isn’t something you “switch on” after building the page.

The page needs to be created around what people are actually searching for and the questions they need answered.

AI Search Changes How We Should Think About Website Content

People increasingly ask AI tools questions instead of searching only through traditional Google results.

That means useful website content should be easy for both humans and AI systems to understand.

Clear headings, direct answers, FAQs, examples and specific evidence can all help make your content easier to retrieve and understand.

This is one of the reasons we’re increasingly creating pages like this one as genuine learning resources rather than thin promotional pages.

Use HighLevel Websites for More Than Your Main Website

You don’t necessarily need to move your entire existing website into HighLevel.

HighLevel can also be useful for focused marketing assets such as:

• campaign landing pages;
• event registration pages;
• lead magnet pages;
• booking pages;
• offer pages;
• temporary campaigns;
• or niche-specific funnels.

This means you can potentially keep an existing WordPress or other website while using HighLevel for campaign-specific pages that need tight CRM integration.

Can HighLevel Replace WordPress?

For some businesses, yes.

For others, not necessarily.

HighLevel can build websites, pages and funnels, but WordPress has a huge ecosystem and can be extremely flexible for content-heavy or highly customised sites.

The right question isn’t:

“Which platform is better?”

It’s:

“Which platform is the better fit for what we’re trying to build?”

A business might even use both.

Can HighLevel Replace ClickFunnels?

For some businesses, potentially yes.

HighLevel includes funnel-building functionality alongside CRM, workflows, email, SMS, calendars and other tools.

That consolidation can be attractive.

But again, compare your actual requirements rather than simply replacing software for the sake of consolidation.

Test the Whole Journey, Not Just the Page

A page can look perfect and still fail operationally.

Test what happens after someone takes action.

If they complete a form:

• Does the contact appear?
• Are fields mapped correctly?
• Does the workflow start?
• Is the opportunity created?
• Does the salesperson get notified?
• Does the customer receive confirmation?

If they book:

• Does the appointment appear correctly?
• Are reminders triggered?
• Does the sales process update?

Test the customer journey, not merely the webpage.

Website & Funnel Training Backed by Real Marketing Experience

This is where my background becomes particularly relevant.

I’ve worked hands-on in direct marketing since 1996 and with CRM and marketing automation since 2009.

Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses improve, automate and systemise their marketing.

I’m also a Certified Entrepreneurs Circle Marketing Coach and have helped Entrepreneurs Circle GenieAI subscribers implement AI and marketing automation within their businesses.

Through my own HighLevel agency, MarketerM8, I’ve personally onboarded more than 100 HighLevel users.

So when we look at websites and funnels, I’m not simply asking:

“How do we make this page look nice?”

I’m also asking:

• Who is the visitor?
• What do they want?
• What should the page communicate?
• What action do we want them to take?
• What should happen after they take it?
• How does the CRM capture the information?
• How should HighLevel follow up?
• And how do we measure whether the page is doing its job?

That’s the difference between simply building a webpage and building a marketing system.

What Will You Learn in the HighLevel Websites & Funnels Workshop?

This free live workshop is designed to help you understand HighLevel’s website and funnel tools and how they fit into the wider platform.

We’ll explore areas such as:

• the HighLevel website builder;
• the HighLevel funnel builder;
• websites vs funnels;
• landing pages;
• page structure;
• headlines and calls to action;
• forms and surveys;
• calendar integration;

The objective isn’t simply to learn how to move boxes around a page.

It’s to understand how your pages can become part of a joined-up marketing, CRM and automation system.

Websites & Funnels Is Part of Our Free HighLevel Training Programme

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

The programme is designed to help you learn HighLevel one practical area at a time.

If you’re completely new to HighLevel, start with our HighLevel Foundations for Beginners workshop.

Websites & Funnels also connects particularly closely with:

• Forms, Surveys & Quizzes, because pages need ways to capture leads;
• Calendars & Appointments, because pages can lead directly into booking;
• Automation & Workflows, because page activity can trigger follow-up;
• and Sales Pipelines & Opportunities, because enquiries can become trackable deals.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer?

No.

You don’t need to be a MarketerM8 subscriber to attend our free live HighLevel training workshops.

You can attend whether you’re already using HighLevel, considering the platform or simply want to understand more about its website and funnel capabilities.

What If I Need Help Building My Own HighLevel Website or Funnel?

A live workshop can teach you the tools and principles.

But your own website or funnel may need more detailed work.

Perhaps you need help:

• planning a landing page;
• designing a funnel journey;
• building a lead generation page;
• connecting forms to your CRM;
• connecting calendars to your pages;
• building workflow follow-up;
• creating sales opportunities from enquiries;
• setting up domains;
• migrating from another website platform;
• improving a page that isn’t converting;
• or training your team.

That’s where I can provide remote HighLevel training and Done-With-You implementation.

For larger projects and teams, on-site HighLevel training and implementation is also available throughout the UK and internationally.

If you’re experiencing a technical problem rather than needing implementation or training, take a look at my guide to HighLevel support in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions About HighLevel Websites & Funnels

Can GoHighLevel Build Websites?

Yes.

HighLevel includes a website builder that allows you to create webpages using a visual editing interface.

The benefit is that the website can connect directly with your HighLevel CRM, forms, calendars and automation.

Can GoHighLevel Build Funnels?

Yes.

HighLevel includes funnel-building functionality for creating more focused marketing and sales journeys.

Funnels can be used for lead generation, bookings, applications, sales and other conversion-focused processes.

What’s the Difference Between a HighLevel Website and Funnel?

A website typically allows visitors to explore several pages and different areas of your business.

A funnel is normally designed around a more focused journey with a particular action in mind.

Neither is universally better. Use the structure that best fits the visitor’s objective.

Can HighLevel Build Landing Pages?

Yes.

HighLevel can be used to create dedicated landing pages for campaigns, offers, lead magnets, events and other marketing activity.

A focused landing page can be particularly useful when you want the message to match a particular advert or campaign.

Can I Put HighLevel Forms on a HighLevel Website?

Yes.

HighLevel forms can be incorporated directly into pages and used to capture information into your CRM.

Those submissions can then trigger workflows and other actions.

Can I Put a HighLevel Calendar on a Website or Funnel?

Yes.

Calendars can be incorporated into the booking journey so prospects or customers can schedule directly from your pages.

That booking can then connect to confirmation, reminders and other automation.

Can HighLevel Websites Trigger Workflows?

The page itself doesn’t need to be thought of as the workflow trigger.

Actions visitors take on the page, such as submitting a form or booking an appointment, can be used to trigger HighLevel workflows.

This connects the visible website journey with what happens inside the CRM.

Can a HighLevel Website Create Sales Opportunities?

Yes, indirectly through forms, workflows and opportunity automation.

For example, a quote request submitted on a HighLevel page could result in a new opportunity appearing in your sales pipeline.

Can HighLevel Replace WordPress?

For some businesses, yes.

HighLevel can build complete websites and may simplify things for businesses that want their website tightly connected to CRM and automation.

However, WordPress remains extremely flexible and may still be the better fit for some content-heavy or highly customised websites.

Can I Use WordPress and HighLevel Together?

Yes.

You don’t necessarily have to choose one or the other.

A business may keep its main website on WordPress while using HighLevel for landing pages, forms, calendars, funnels and CRM automation.

Can HighLevel Replace ClickFunnels?

Potentially, yes.

HighLevel includes funnel-building functionality alongside CRM, automation, email, SMS, calendars and other features.

Whether you should replace ClickFunnels depends on how you use it and whether HighLevel meets your particular requirements.

Can I Connect My Own Domain to a HighLevel Website?

Yes.

HighLevel websites and funnels can be published using custom domains or subdomains.

This allows you to present pages under your own brand rather than relying on temporary platform URLs.

Can HighLevel Websites Be Mobile Friendly?

Yes, but you should still check and optimise the mobile experience.

Pay particular attention to headings, text size, buttons, images, forms and spacing.

Don’t assume the desktop design automatically produces the best mobile experience.

Can You Do SEO on a HighLevel Website?

Yes.

HighLevel pages can be structured with SEO considerations such as page titles, headings, content, URLs, image alt text and metadata.

But SEO depends far more on useful content and search intent than on the website builder alone.

Are HighLevel Websites Good for Google SEO?

They can be.

The platform itself isn’t what makes a page rank.

Search visibility depends on factors such as content quality, relevance, competition, technical setup, internal linking, authority and user experience.

Build pages to answer real search needs rather than simply trying to insert keywords.

Can HighLevel Websites Appear in AI Search?

Potentially, yes.

AI search systems can use publicly available web content in different ways.

Clear, specific content with direct answers, examples, evidence and useful structure can make a page easier for both humans and AI systems to understand.

Can I Sell Products From a HighLevel Funnel?

HighLevel includes commerce and payment functionality that can be used in wider funnel and sales processes.

The exact setup depends on what you’re selling and how you want the customer journey to work.

Can I Use HighLevel Funnels for Lead Magnets?

Yes.

A typical lead magnet funnel could include a landing page, form, thank-you page and automated follow-up.

That allows lead capture and nurture to happen inside one joined-up platform.

Can I Build Event Registration Pages in HighLevel?

Yes.

HighLevel pages, forms and event-related tools can be used as part of event registration and follow-up journeys.

The right setup depends on the type of event and whether you need tickets, payments or more advanced event management.

How Many Pages Should a HighLevel Funnel Have?

Only as many as the customer journey genuinely needs.

A simple lead capture funnel may need only a landing page and thank-you page.

A more complex sales process may require additional steps.

Don’t add pages simply to make the funnel look sophisticated.

Should My HighLevel Landing Page Have Navigation?

It depends on the page’s objective.

A focused campaign landing page may benefit from reducing distractions and giving visitors one obvious action.

A website page designed for research and exploration may benefit from normal navigation.

Is the HighLevel Websites & Funnels Workshop Free?

Yes.

The Websites & Funnels workshop is part of MarketerM8’s programme of free live HighLevel training workshops.

There’s no charge to attend the live workshop.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer to Attend?

No.

You can attend our free HighLevel training workshops without being a MarketerM8 subscriber.

Can I Ask Questions During the Websites & Funnels Workshop?

Yes.

That’s one of the advantages of live HighLevel training.

You can see the website and funnel tools being explained and ask questions about what we’re covering.

What Should I Learn After HighLevel Websites & Funnels?

If your pages capture information, our Forms, Surveys & Quizzes workshop is particularly useful.

If you want page activity to trigger automated follow-up, move on to HighLevel Automation & Workflows.

If you’re driving traffic through advertising, our later HighLevel Ad Manager / Advanced Marketing training is also relevant.

You can explore all the subjects in our free HighLevel training programme.

Ready to Build Better HighLevel Websites & Funnels?

Don’t start with:

“What page should I build?”

Start with:

“What do we want the visitor to do?”

Then build the journey around that objective.

Use the page to communicate clearly.

Use forms or calendars to capture action.

Use the CRM to store the relationship.

Use pipelines to track the opportunity.

Use workflows to manage the follow-up.

That’s where HighLevel websites and funnels become far more powerful than simply being another website builder.

And that’s exactly what our Websites & Funnels workshop is designed to help you understand.

Forms are one of the main ways information enters your HighLevel CRM.

A prospect fills something in.

HighLevel captures the information.

And from there, you can potentially:

• create or update the contact;
• store useful information in custom fields;
• qualify the lead;
• trigger a workflow;
• create a sales opportunity;
• notify a member of your team;
• send a confirmation;
• or route the person into a completely different customer journey.

That’s why forms, surveys and quizzes are much more than simply boxes on a webpage.

They’re often the starting point for your CRM, marketing and automation.

Our free HighLevel Forms, Surveys & Quizzes training workshop is designed to show you how these tools work and, more importantly, how to use them intelligently in your business.

The workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

What Are HighLevel Forms?

HighLevel forms allow you to collect information from prospects, customers and other contacts.

At the simplest level, that might be:

• name;
• email address;
• telephone number;
• company name;
• or an enquiry message.

But forms can go much further than that.

You can collect information that helps you understand who someone is, what they need and what should happen next.

That information can then become part of the contact record inside HighLevel.

Start With What You Need to Know

Before adding twenty questions to a form, ask:

“What information do we genuinely need at this stage?”

Every additional field creates friction.

So there is always a balance.

A simple lead generation form may only need:

• name;
• email;
• telephone number;
• and perhaps one useful qualifying question.

Whereas a detailed application or assessment may legitimately need much more information.

What Is a HighLevel Survey?

A survey is useful when you need to collect more structured or detailed information than a simple form.

For example, you might use a survey for:

• a customer questionnaire;
• a discovery questionnaire;
• a needs analysis;
• an application;
• a pre-consultation assessment;
• customer feedback;
• onboarding information;
• or a detailed enquiry process.

Surveys are particularly useful when the person needs to move through a series of questions rather than seeing everything on one page.

HighLevel’s current survey tools also support conditional logic, so different respondents can see different questions or follow different paths depending on their answers. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

What Is a HighLevel Quiz?

Quizzes introduce another layer.

Instead of simply collecting information, you can potentially score or categorise responses and provide a personalised outcome.

HighLevel’s current Quiz Builder supports:

• multiple question types;
• scoring;
• categories;
• personalised results;
• CRM mapping;
• and automation based on submissions.

This means a quiz can be useful for far more than entertainment.

You could potentially use one to:

• assess a prospect’s needs;
• score readiness;
• categorise somebody into a particular customer type;
• recommend an appropriate service;
• create an interactive lead magnet;
• or help qualify leads before a salesperson becomes involved.

HighLevel’s current Quiz Builder explicitly supports lead data collection, intent qualification, scoring, categories and personalised results. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Forms, Surveys and Quizzes: Which Should You Use?

A simple way to think about it is:

Tool	Best suited to
Form	Straightforward lead capture or data collection
Survey	More detailed, multi-step or conditional questioning
Quiz	Interactive scoring, categorisation or personalised outcomes

There is overlap between them.

The important question is:

“What experience makes most sense for the person completing it?”

Your Form Should Serve the Customer Journey

A form shouldn’t exist in isolation.

Think about what happened immediately before the person saw it and what should happen immediately afterwards.

For example:

Now the form isn’t just collecting information.

It’s connecting the website to the CRM and the sales process.

Map Form Answers Into Your HighLevel CRM

One of the biggest advantages of building forms inside HighLevel is that the information can become part of your CRM data.

For example, somebody might tell you:

• which service they’re interested in;
• their budget;
• their location;
• their company size;
• their preferred appointment type;
• or another detail important to your business.

Instead of that information sitting in an email inbox, it can potentially be stored against the contact.

That makes it available for:

• segmentation;
• Smart Lists;
• workflows;
• personalisation;
• sales follow-up;
• and reporting.

This is why good HighLevel database management and good form design go hand in hand.

Use Conditional Logic to Make Forms and Surveys Smarter

Not everybody needs to answer every question.

HighLevel’s current conditional logic tools can change what happens based on somebody’s answers.

For example:

Or:

HighLevel’s current Conditional Logic v2 supports actions including showing or hiding fields, displaying custom messages, redirects, disqualification and, in surveys, jumping to different slides. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

This can help make the experience:

• shorter;
• more relevant;
• more personalised;
• and more useful to your sales team.

HighLevel Forms Can Help Qualify Leads

Not every enquiry is equally valuable.

A good form or survey can collect information that helps your business understand whether somebody is a good fit before a salesperson spends significant time with them.

For example, you might ask about:

• location;
• budget;
• service required;
• timescale;
• company size;
• current situation;
• or another genuine qualification criterion.

But be careful.

Qualification doesn’t mean interrogating every visitor with 25 questions.

Ask only what you genuinely need at that point in the journey.

Use Quizzes as Lead Magnets

Quizzes can also become a marketing tool.

Instead of offering another generic PDF download, you could potentially offer something interactive.

For example:

• “How effective is your sales follow-up?”
• “How automated is your business?”
• “Which marketing strategy fits your business?”
• “How healthy is your CRM database?”
• “Are you ready for AI automation?”

The prospect answers questions.

HighLevel scores or categorises them.

They receive a useful result.

And your CRM gains useful information about the prospect.

That’s a much more interesting use of a quiz than simply asking trivia questions.

What Happens After Someone Submits?

Don’t overlook the immediate post-submission experience.

Someone has just taken an action.

What should they see next?

HighLevel currently allows branded on-submit messages for forms, surveys and quizzes, including formatted text, imagery and layout controls. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

You could:

• thank them;
• explain what happens next;
• tell them when to expect a response;
• provide another resource;
• direct them to book an appointment;
• or send them to another appropriate page.

The submit confirmation is part of the customer journey too.

Forms and Workflows Work Particularly Well Together

This is where forms become considerably more powerful.

A form submission can become the trigger for automation.

For example:

Or:

This is why our HighLevel Automation & Workflows workshop is a natural companion to this session.

Forms Can Feed Your Sales Pipeline

If a form represents a genuine sales enquiry, you may want that submission to create an opportunity in your HighLevel pipeline.

For example:

Now the lead doesn’t simply become another contact sitting in your database.

It immediately enters the sales process.

You can learn more about that in our HighLevel Sales Pipelines & Opportunities workshop.

Forms Can Also Connect to Calendars

Sometimes collecting information isn’t the end objective.

The logical next step may be for the person to book an appointment.

For example:

Enquiry → Qualification → Book consultation

That allows forms, surveys and HighLevel Calendars to become part of one joined-up journey.

Think about whether you really need somebody on your team manually emailing a booking link when HighLevel may be able to guide the prospect there automatically.

Use Forms on HighLevel Websites and Funnels

HighLevel forms and surveys can be built directly into HighLevel websites and funnels.

HighLevel’s current site builder allows users to create, add and manage forms and surveys within the website or funnel building experience. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

This can make it easier to connect your landing pages directly to:

• CRM records;
• automation;
• sales pipelines;
• appointments;
• and customer follow-up.

Again, the value isn’t simply having a form on a page.

It’s what happens because someone completed it.

HighLevel Can Collect Feedback Too

Forms and surveys aren’t only for new leads.

You can also use them to collect information from existing customers.

For example:

• customer satisfaction;
• feedback;
• service reviews;
• internal assessments;
• training feedback;
• or onboarding information.

HighLevel also supports rating-style elements in forms, surveys and quizzes, including visual options such as stars, hearts and thumbs-up. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

This can give customers a simple way to provide structured feedback.

HighLevel Can Even Capture Feedback Inside Emails

HighLevel also supports certain inline form and survey elements inside email campaigns.

That can allow recipients to provide simple structured feedback, such as ratings or like/dislike responses, directly from an email experience. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

This is useful where you want to reduce friction and capture a quick response rather than send someone through a long separate survey journey.

Submission PDFs Can Create a Permanent Record

For some businesses, keeping a permanent copy of what somebody submitted is important.

HighLevel added the ability to automatically generate PDF submission documents from forms, surveys and quizzes.

Those PDFs can be associated with the relevant contact record. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

This could be particularly useful for:

• applications;
• assessments;
• detailed questionnaires;
• customer declarations;
• internal records;
• or processes where a readable copy of the answers is useful later.

It’s another example of forms becoming part of the wider CRM record rather than disappearing into an email inbox.

Keep Forms as Short as They Need to Be

There’s a temptation to ask every possible question because you may want the information later.

Resist it.

The longer and more demanding the form, the greater the chance somebody will decide not to finish it.

Ask yourself:

• Do we need this information now?
• Could we ask it later?
• Could HighLevel already know it?
• Does this answer actually change what happens next?

If the answer is no, consider removing the question.

Don’t Ask for Information You Won’t Use

This is a broader CRM principle too.

Collecting information creates responsibility.

If your form asks for detailed information but nobody ever uses it, all you’ve done is create more work for the person completing the form and more clutter in your CRM.

Better data doesn’t mean more data.

It means useful data.

Think About Mobile Users

A large proportion of people completing online forms will be using a phone.

So always test your form, survey or quiz on mobile.

Check:

• Is the text easy to read?
• Are questions easy to understand?
• Are buttons obvious?
• Is the form unnecessarily long?
• Does conditional logic behave as expected?
• Is the confirmation clear?

A beautiful desktop form isn’t much use if it’s frustrating on a mobile screen.

Test Forms Before Sending Traffic to Them

Never assume a form works simply because it looks right.

Submit it yourself.

Test different answers.

Check what information appears against the contact.

Check whether workflows trigger.

Check whether the opportunity gets created.

Check the confirmation.

Check notifications.

And test the unusual paths, not just the happy path.

Conditional logic and automation make forms more powerful, but they also create more things that need testing.

Forms Training Backed by Real Marketing Experience

This is where my background becomes particularly relevant.

I’ve worked hands-on in direct marketing since 1996 and with CRM and marketing automation since 2009.

Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses improve, automate and systemise their marketing.

I’m also a Certified Entrepreneurs Circle Marketing Coach and have helped Entrepreneurs Circle GenieAI subscribers implement AI and marketing automation within their businesses.

Through my own HighLevel agency, MarketerM8, I’ve personally onboarded more than 100 HighLevel users.

So when we look at a form, I’m not simply asking:

“Which fields should we drag onto the page?”

I’m asking:

• What information do we need?
• Why do we need it?
• How much should we ask at this stage?
• How should the prospect be qualified?
• What should happen after submission?
• What should HighLevel store?
• What should HighLevel automate?
• And what experience should the prospect have?

That’s the difference between building a form and designing a useful lead capture process.

What Will You Learn in the HighLevel Forms, Surveys & Quizzes Workshop?

This free live workshop is designed to help you understand how HighLevel’s data capture tools work and how to apply them practically.

• and common mistakes to avoid.

The objective isn’t simply to collect more information.

It’s to collect the right information and use it intelligently.

Forms, Surveys & Quizzes Is Part of Our Free HighLevel Training Programme

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

The programme is designed to help you learn HighLevel one practical area at a time.

If you’re completely new to HighLevel, start with our HighLevel Foundations for Beginners workshop.

Forms also connect particularly closely with:

• Database Management, because form answers become CRM data;
• Automation & Workflows, because submissions can trigger automation;
• Sales Pipelines & Opportunities, because enquiries can become sales opportunities;
• and Calendars & Appointments, because qualified leads can move directly into booking.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer?

No.

You don’t need to be a MarketerM8 subscriber to attend our free live HighLevel training workshops.

You can attend whether you’re already using HighLevel, considering the platform or simply want to understand how HighLevel forms, surveys and quizzes work.

What If I Need Help Building My Own HighLevel Forms?

A live workshop can teach you the tools and principles.

But your own lead capture process may require more detailed work.

Perhaps you need help:

• designing an enquiry form;
• building an application process;
• creating a qualifying survey;
• building a lead generation quiz;
• mapping form data into custom fields;
• using conditional logic;
• creating multiple respondent journeys;
• triggering workflows after submission;
• creating pipeline opportunities;
• connecting qualified leads to calendars;
• or training your team.

That’s where I can provide remote HighLevel training and Done-With-You implementation.

For larger projects and teams, on-site HighLevel training and implementation is also available throughout the UK and internationally.

If you’re experiencing a technical problem rather than needing implementation or training, take a look at my guide to HighLevel support in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions About HighLevel Forms, Surveys & Quizzes

Does GoHighLevel Have Forms?

Yes.

HighLevel includes a form builder that can be used to collect contact and enquiry information.

Forms can connect directly with the HighLevel CRM, allowing submitted information to be stored against contacts and used within workflows and other processes.

What Can HighLevel Forms Be Used For?

HighLevel forms can be used for lead capture, enquiries, registrations, applications, customer information, qualification and many other data collection processes.

The best form is designed around what you genuinely need to know and what should happen after somebody submits it.

Does GoHighLevel Have Surveys?

Yes.

HighLevel surveys are useful for more detailed or multi-step information gathering.

They can be used for questionnaires, assessments, onboarding, feedback, applications and lead qualification.

Does GoHighLevel Have Quizzes?

Yes.

HighLevel includes a Quiz Builder that can score and categorise responses and produce personalised outcomes.

This can make quizzes useful for interactive lead magnets, assessments and qualification.

What’s the Difference Between a HighLevel Form and Survey?

A form is usually best for relatively straightforward information collection.

A survey can work better where you need a longer or more structured question journey, particularly where different respondents may need to see different questions.

What’s the Difference Between a Survey and Quiz in HighLevel?

A survey primarily gathers information.

A quiz can additionally use scoring, categories and results to give respondents an outcome based on their answers.

The right choice depends on what experience you’re trying to create.

Can HighLevel Forms Use Conditional Logic?

Yes.

HighLevel’s current form and survey tools support conditional logic.

You can use answers to show or hide elements, display messages, redirect people or disqualify leads depending on the setup.

Can HighLevel Surveys Skip Questions?

Yes.

Conditional survey logic can route respondents to different slides or questions based on their previous answers.

This can shorten the survey and prevent people seeing irrelevant questions.

Can HighLevel Automatically Disqualify Leads?

HighLevel’s current conditional logic supports lead disqualification based on defined responses.

Use this carefully.

Make sure your criteria genuinely identify a poor fit before automatically rejecting a prospect.

Can a HighLevel Form Trigger a Workflow?

Yes.

A form submission can be used as part of an automated HighLevel process.

For example, submission could trigger an acknowledgement, create an opportunity, notify a salesperson and start follow-up.

Can a HighLevel Form Create an Opportunity?

Yes, forms can be combined with workflows and HighLevel opportunities.

This means a genuine enquiry can automatically enter your sales pipeline rather than simply becoming another contact record.

Can HighLevel Forms Update Custom Fields?

Yes.

Information submitted through forms, surveys and quizzes can be mapped into CRM data where appropriate.

This allows responses to become useful structured information for segmentation and automation.

Can I Put a HighLevel Form on My Website?

Yes.

HighLevel forms and surveys can be used within HighLevel websites and funnels, and depending on your setup may also be embedded into other web experiences.

The important point is what happens to the data after it is captured.

Can I Use HighLevel Forms on WordPress?

HighLevel forms can commonly be embedded into external web pages, including WordPress sites, depending on the form and website setup.

This allows a WordPress website to capture enquiries directly into the HighLevel CRM.

Can HighLevel Forms Send a Confirmation?

Yes.

You can control what respondents see after submission and can also use workflows to send appropriate follow-up communication.

The confirmation should explain clearly what happens next.

Can HighLevel Quizzes Score Leads?

Yes.

HighLevel’s Quiz Builder supports scoring and categories.

This can help create different outcomes based on a respondent’s answers and can be useful for qualification and interactive assessments.

Can HighLevel Quizzes Show Different Results?

Yes.

Quiz results can be personalised according to scores or categories, depending on how the quiz is configured.

This can make the experience much more useful than a generic thank-you page.

Can HighLevel Forms Collect Customer Feedback?

Yes.

Forms and surveys can be used to collect customer feedback, including structured rating responses.

This can help businesses collect useful information after a service, event or customer interaction.

Can HighLevel Generate a PDF of a Form Submission?

Yes.

HighLevel now supports generating PDF submission documents for forms, surveys and quizzes.

This can create a readable record associated with the contact, which can be particularly useful for applications, assessments and detailed questionnaires.

How Many Questions Should a HighLevel Form Have?

Only as many as necessary.

A lead generation form should usually be easier to complete than a detailed application or assessment.

Ask whether each question is necessary at that stage and whether the answer will actually be used.

Should I Ask for a Phone Number on My HighLevel Form?

Only if the telephone number serves a genuine purpose.

If your process involves calling or texting the lead, it may be valuable.

If you have no intention of using it, requesting extra information can create unnecessary friction.

Can Forms Help Qualify HighLevel Leads?

Yes.

Questions about factors such as service requirement, location, budget or timescale can help your business understand whether a lead appears suitable.

The key is to balance useful qualification with making the form easy enough to complete.

Is the HighLevel Forms, Surveys & Quizzes Workshop Free?

Yes.

The Forms, Surveys & Quizzes workshop is part of MarketerM8’s programme of free live HighLevel training workshops.

There’s no charge to attend the live workshop.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer to Attend?

No.

You can attend our free HighLevel training workshops without being a MarketerM8 subscriber.

Can I Ask Questions During the HighLevel Forms Workshop?

Yes.

That’s one of the benefits of live HighLevel training.

You can see forms, surveys and quizzes being explained and ask questions about the tools and concepts we’re covering.

What Should I Learn After HighLevel Forms, Surveys & Quizzes?

If you want submissions to trigger automation, move on to our HighLevel Automation & Workflows workshop.

If you want to improve how the collected information is organised, our Database Management workshop is particularly relevant.

If forms are part of your website or landing pages, our HighLevel Websites & Funnels workshop is a natural next step.

You can explore all the subjects in our free HighLevel training programme.

Ready to Build Better HighLevel Forms?

Don’t start by asking:

“What fields can I add?”

Start by asking:

“What do we need to know, and what should happen once we know it?”

Then decide whether you need a form, survey or quiz.

Collect only the useful information.

Map it properly into the CRM.

Use conditional logic where it improves the experience.

And connect the submission to the next stage of the customer journey.

That’s exactly what our Forms, Surveys & Quizzes workshop is designed to help you understand.

Workflows are where HighLevel really starts to earn its keep.

Instead of relying on somebody remembering to send an email, follow up a lead, move an opportunity, notify a colleague or perform another repetitive task, HighLevel can potentially do it automatically.

At its simplest, a HighLevel workflow follows a very straightforward principle:

For example:

Once you understand that basic principle, you can start building increasingly sophisticated automations around the way your business actually works.

But there’s an important warning.

Automating a bad process doesn’t make it a good process. It simply makes the bad process happen automatically.

That’s why our free HighLevel Automation & Workflows training workshop isn’t simply about learning which buttons to click.

We’ll look at how HighLevel workflows work, but we’ll also look at what you should automate, why you should automate it and when you shouldn’t automate it at all.

The workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

What Is a Workflow in GoHighLevel?

A HighLevel workflow is a series of automated actions that can take place when something happens.

The event that starts the workflow is generally referred to as a trigger.

What HighLevel subsequently does is controlled by the actions inside the workflow.

So the basic structure is:

For example:

That simple concept is the foundation of much of HighLevel’s automation functionality.

You can explore HighLevel’s official Getting Started with Workflows guide alongside our live training.

What Can You Automate With HighLevel Workflows?

This is where the possibilities become enormous.

HighLevel workflows can potentially help automate activities across marketing, sales, customer service and internal administration.

Examples include:

• responding to new enquiries;
• lead follow-up;
• email nurture sequences;
• SMS follow-up;
• appointment confirmations;
• appointment reminders;
• no-show follow-up;
• creating sales opportunities;
• updating opportunities;
• assigning leads to team members;
• sending internal notifications;
• creating tasks;
• customer onboarding;
• review requests;
• reactivation campaigns;
• database management;
• and much more.

The question therefore isn’t usually:

“Can HighLevel automate something?”

The more useful question is:

“Should we automate it, and what should the process actually be?”

Start With the Process, Not the Workflow Builder

This is probably the most important lesson I can give anyone learning HighLevel workflows.

Don’t start by opening the workflow builder.

Start by mapping what you want to happen.

For example:

Now we have a process.

We can then ask which parts should be handled by HighLevel.

That is considerably easier than dragging actions into a workflow and hoping they eventually form a sensible business process.

Understanding HighLevel Workflow Triggers

A trigger tells HighLevel when the workflow should start.

There are many different events that might cause automation to begin.

Depending on the process, that could be something such as:

• a form being submitted;
• a contact being created;
• an appointment being booked;
• an opportunity changing;
• a particular customer action occurring;
• a tag being added;
• or another event within your HighLevel setup.

Choosing the correct trigger matters.

If the wrong people enter the workflow, even perfectly configured actions can produce the wrong result.

Understanding HighLevel Workflow Actions

Once somebody or something enters a workflow, actions determine what HighLevel should do.

For example, HighLevel might:

• send an email;
• send an SMS;
• wait for a period of time;
• create or update an opportunity;
• assign a user;
• add or remove a tag;
• create a task;
• send an internal notification;
• update contact information;
• or move the workflow down a different path.

By combining actions, relatively simple automations can become complete customer journeys.

HighLevel Workflows Don’t Have to Be Linear

A real customer journey rarely follows one perfectly straight line.

Some people respond.

Some don’t.

Some book.

Some cancel.

Some buy.

Some aren’t suitable prospects in the first place.

That’s why HighLevel workflows can use conditions and branching logic to make different things happen depending on circumstances.

Using If/Else Conditions in HighLevel Workflows

An If/Else condition allows a workflow to ask a question and send contacts down different paths depending on the answer.

Conceptually:

Or:

This allows workflows to become much more intelligent than simply sending everybody exactly the same sequence.

Use Wait Steps to Control Timing

Good automation isn’t simply about what happens.

Timing matters too.

Sometimes an action should happen immediately.

Sometimes it should happen an hour later.

Sometimes tomorrow.

Sometimes only after another event occurs.

HighLevel workflows allow you to build waiting periods and timing logic into your automation.

This becomes particularly important for lead nurture, appointment communication and longer customer journeys.

HighLevel Workflows Can Automate Lead Follow-Up

This is one of the most obvious uses of HighLevel automation.

A prospect submits an enquiry at 8:37pm.

Nobody in your office is working.

That doesn’t mean the prospect has to hear nothing until tomorrow morning.

HighLevel could potentially:

The automation isn’t necessarily replacing the salesperson.

It’s making sure the salesperson has a better chance of having the right conversation at the right time.

HighLevel Workflows and Sales Pipelines

Workflows become particularly useful when combined with HighLevel Sales Pipelines & Opportunities.

For example, a workflow might automatically create an opportunity when a new enquiry arrives.

Another event might move the opportunity to a different stage.

A salesperson might be assigned.

A task might be created.

Follow-up might be triggered.

That means your CRM can start reflecting what is actually happening without relying entirely on manual data entry.

HighLevel Workflows and Calendars

Calendars and workflows are another powerful combination.

For example:

You can also design different processes for cancellations, rescheduling and no-shows.

This turns the calendar from a simple booking tool into part of an automated customer journey.

HighLevel Workflows and Email Marketing

Email marketing doesn’t have to mean manually sending a campaign to a list.

Workflows allow email to be triggered by what a contact does or where they are in their journey.

For example:

• someone downloads a guide;
• a prospect makes an enquiry;
• a customer purchases something;
• an appointment is booked;
• a lead reaches a particular point in your sales process;
• or an existing customer needs further information.

This is where CRM data and email marketing start working together.

Automate Internal Tasks as Well as Customer Communication

HighLevel automation isn’t only about sending messages to customers.

Some of the most useful workflows happen behind the scenes.

For example:

• notify a salesperson about a hot lead;
• assign a new enquiry to somebody;
• create a follow-up task;
• update a contact record;
• move an opportunity;
• notify a manager about something important;
• or organise contacts automatically.

These automations may be invisible to the customer, but they can make your business considerably more consistent.

HighLevel Workflows Can Extend Beyond HighLevel

Your business probably doesn’t operate entirely inside HighLevel.

You may have accounting software, specialist industry applications, internal systems or other platforms.

Depending on the systems involved, workflows can potentially exchange information with external applications using integrations, webhooks and APIs.

This is where HighLevel automation can start becoming part of a much wider business automation strategy.

But again, complexity should have a purpose.

Don’t build a complicated integration because it’s technically impressive.

Build it because it solves a worthwhile business problem.

AI Is Making HighLevel Workflows Even More Powerful

Automation traditionally follows rules.

If X happens, do Y.

AI introduces the ability to work with information that isn’t always perfectly structured.

That can potentially allow workflows to interpret, classify, summarise or generate information as part of a process.

For example, AI might help analyse information submitted by a prospect and use that information within a wider automated process.

This opens up some fascinating possibilities.

But my advice remains the same.

Don’t add AI because AI sounds exciting.

First understand the process.

Then decide whether ordinary automation, AI, human judgement or a combination of all three provides the best solution.

Don’t Build Monster Workflows Unless You Need Them

It’s very easy to become impressed by enormous HighLevel workflows.

Hundreds of actions.

Branches everywhere.

Complex logic.

That can sometimes be necessary.

But complexity isn’t a measure of quality.

A five-step workflow that reliably solves an important business problem can be considerably more valuable than a 150-step automation nobody understands.

Start simple.

Test it.

Understand it.

Then add complexity when there’s a genuine reason to do so.

Test Your HighLevel Workflows Before Relying on Them

Automation can save enormous amounts of time.

It can also make mistakes at scale if you configure it incorrectly.

So test your workflows.

Ask:

• Who enters the workflow?
• Who shouldn’t enter it?
• What happens at each step?
• What happens if information is missing?
• What happens if somebody responds?
• What happens if they book?
• What happens if they become a customer?
• Can somebody accidentally enter twice?
• Is there a clear way for them to leave when appropriate?

Don’t assume an automation works simply because it looks right on the screen.

Automation Training Backed by Real Marketing Experience

This is where my background becomes particularly relevant.

I’ve worked hands-on in direct marketing since 1996 and with CRM and marketing automation since 2009.

Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses improve, automate and systemise their marketing.

I’m also a Certified Entrepreneurs Circle Marketing Coach and have helped Entrepreneurs Circle GenieAI subscribers implement AI and marketing automation within their businesses.

Through my own HighLevel agency, MarketerM8, I’ve personally onboarded more than 100 HighLevel users.

So when we’re looking at a workflow, I’m wearing several hats.

• What is the marketing objective?
• What should the business process be?
• What should HighLevel automate?
• Where should a human remain involved?
• And how do we make the whole thing manageable?

That’s very different from simply learning how to drag actions into the HighLevel workflow builder.

What Will You Learn in the HighLevel Automation & Workflows Workshop?

This free live workshop is designed to help you understand the fundamentals of HighLevel workflows and how to apply them to real business processes.

We’ll explore areas such as:

• what HighLevel workflows are;
• workflow triggers;
• workflow actions;
• wait steps and timing;
• If/Else conditions;
• branching logic;
• automated email and SMS;
• lead follow-up;
• internal notifications;
• tasks and assignments;
• sales pipeline automation;
• calendar and appointment automation;
• database automation;
• using workflows with external systems;
• the growing role of AI in automation;
• testing workflows;
• and common HighLevel workflow mistakes to avoid.

The objective isn’t to build the biggest workflow.

It’s to understand how to create useful, reliable automation that improves the way your business works.

Automation & Workflows Is Part of Our Free HighLevel Training Programme

The Automation & Workflows workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

The programme is designed to help you learn HighLevel one practical area at a time.

If you’re completely new to HighLevel, start with our HighLevel Foundations for Beginners workshop.

Understanding Calendars & Appointments and Sales Pipelines & Opportunities is also particularly useful because workflows can automate processes around both.

You can then continue into database management, forms, websites, social media, ecommerce, advertising and AI.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer?

No.

You don’t need to be a MarketerM8 subscriber to attend our free live HighLevel training workshops.

You can attend whether you’re already using HighLevel, considering the platform or simply want to understand more about what HighLevel automation can do.

What If I Need Help Building My Own HighLevel Workflows?

A live workshop can teach you how workflows work.

But your own automation requirements may be unique to your business.

Perhaps you need help:

• mapping a business process before automating it;
• building lead follow-up;
• creating nurture sequences;
• automating appointments and reminders;
• automating sales pipelines;
• building customer onboarding;
• creating internal notifications and tasks;
• using If/Else logic;
• integrating HighLevel with another system;
• using AI within a workflow;
• fixing an existing automation;
• or training your team.

That’s where I can provide remote HighLevel training and Done-With-You implementation.

For larger projects and teams, on-site HighLevel training and implementation is also available throughout the UK and internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions About HighLevel Workflows & Automation

What Is a Workflow in GoHighLevel?

A HighLevel workflow is an automated sequence of actions that can begin when a particular event occurs.

That starting event is generally called a trigger.

The workflow can then perform actions such as sending messages, waiting, updating information, creating opportunities, notifying users or following different paths depending on conditions.

What Is a HighLevel Workflow Trigger?

A trigger determines when a workflow should start.

For example, a workflow might begin when somebody submits a form, books an appointment or meets another defined condition.

Choosing the correct trigger is important because it determines who or what enters your automation.

What Is a HighLevel Workflow Action?

An action is something HighLevel does after the workflow has been triggered.

Actions can include sending communications, waiting, updating information, creating opportunities, assigning users, sending internal notifications and many other activities.

What Can I Automate With GoHighLevel?

HighLevel can automate many repetitive processes across marketing, sales and customer service.

Common examples include lead follow-up, appointment reminders, email nurture, sales pipeline updates, customer onboarding, review requests and internal notifications.

The best starting point is an existing repetitive process that consumes time or is frequently forgotten.

Can HighLevel Automatically Follow Up Leads?

Yes.

A workflow can respond when a new lead enters HighLevel and perform appropriate follow-up actions.

This can be particularly valuable when enquiries arrive outside normal working hours or when salespeople are busy.

Can HighLevel Workflows Send Emails?

Yes.

Email can be used as an action within HighLevel workflows.

This means emails can be sent automatically based on events rather than every email having to be sent as a manually scheduled campaign.

Can HighLevel Workflows Send SMS Messages?

Yes, where SMS is configured for the account.

SMS can be incorporated into automated customer journeys alongside email and other actions.

Use the communication channel that makes sense for the message rather than automatically sending everything through every available channel.

What Is If/Else in a HighLevel Workflow?

If/Else allows a workflow to follow different paths depending on whether a condition is true or false.

For example:

Has the prospect booked? YES → Appointment journey. NO → Continue follow-up.

This makes it possible to create more responsive workflows rather than treating every contact identically.

Can HighLevel Workflows Wait Before Sending Something?

Yes.

Wait steps can be used to control when subsequent actions take place.

This allows you to build appropriate timing into nurture sequences, reminders and other automated processes.

Can HighLevel Workflows Update Sales Pipelines?

Yes.

Workflows can work with HighLevel opportunities and pipelines.

This can help create opportunities, update information and support processes as leads move through your sales journey.

Can HighLevel Workflows Automate Appointments?

Yes.

Calendars and workflows work particularly well together.

You can build automation around bookings, confirmations, reminders, cancellations, rescheduling, no-shows and post-appointment follow-up.

Can HighLevel Workflows Assign Leads to Salespeople?

HighLevel automation can be used as part of lead assignment and internal sales processes.

This can help make sure new opportunities reach the appropriate person rather than sitting unnoticed in the CRM.

Can HighLevel Workflows Create Tasks?

Yes.

Automation doesn’t have to replace human activity.

Sometimes the correct automated action is simply to create a task telling a person what they need to do next.

Can HighLevel Workflows Send Internal Notifications?

Yes.

Internal notifications can be extremely useful for alerting team members when something requires their attention.

For example, HighLevel might automatically notify a salesperson when a new qualified enquiry arrives.

Can HighLevel Workflows Integrate With Other Software?

Potentially, yes.

Depending on the application and your HighLevel setup, integrations, webhooks and APIs can allow HighLevel workflows to exchange information with external systems.

More complex integrations should be designed carefully so that you understand what happens if either system changes or something fails.

Can AI Be Used in HighLevel Workflows?

HighLevel increasingly provides AI functionality that can be incorporated into wider automation processes.

AI can be useful where a process requires interpreting or generating information rather than simply following fixed rules.

However, AI should be used because it improves the process, not simply because it’s available.

How Complicated Should a HighLevel Workflow Be?

Only as complicated as necessary.

Complexity isn’t a sign of a good workflow.

Start with the simplest automation that reliably solves the problem, test it thoroughly and add complexity only where it produces a worthwhile benefit.

Should I Build One Big HighLevel Workflow or Several Smaller Ones?

It depends on the process.

In many situations, smaller, clearly defined workflows can be easier to understand, test and maintain than one enormous automation.

The important thing is to design a structure that remains understandable as your business and automation evolve.

How Do I Test a HighLevel Workflow?

Testing should involve more than checking whether the workflow looks correct.

Use realistic test contacts and scenarios to make sure the correct people enter, actions happen in the expected order, conditions behave correctly and contacts leave or change paths when they should.

Can HighLevel Workflows Replace Manual Processes?

Sometimes.

But not every manual process should be completely automated.

The best solution may combine automation with human judgement.

HighLevel might collect information, update records and create a task, while a person makes the final decision.

Is the HighLevel Automation & Workflows Workshop Free?

Yes.

The Automation & Workflows workshop is part of MarketerM8’s programme of free live HighLevel training workshops.

There’s no charge to attend the live workshop.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer to Attend?

No.

You can attend our free HighLevel training workshops without being a MarketerM8 subscriber.

Can I Ask Questions During the HighLevel Workflow Workshop?

Yes.

That’s one of the advantages of live HighLevel training.

You can see workflows being explained and ask questions about the automation concepts we’re covering.

What Should I Learn After HighLevel Workflows?

That depends on what you want to automate.

If your workflows depend heavily on contact information and segmentation, HighLevel Database Management is a useful next subject.

If you want to capture information that triggers workflows, Forms, Surveys & Quizzes is particularly relevant.

And if you want to explore more advanced automation possibilities, our HighLevel AI workshop will show you how AI is becoming part of the platform.

You can explore all the subjects in our free HighLevel training programme.

Ready to Start Automating With HighLevel?

Don’t start by asking:

“What workflows can I build?”

Start by asking:

“What repetitive processes in our business could be made faster, more consistent or more reliable?”

Then map the process.

Decide what should be automated.

Decide where people should remain involved.

And only then build the workflow.

That’s exactly what our Automation & Workflows workshop is designed to help you understand.

If you’re using HighLevel as a CRM, one of the most useful things you can do is create a clear picture of where every potential sale currently stands.

That’s what HighLevel’s Sales Pipelines & Opportunities are designed to help you do.

Instead of leads sitting in a database with nobody quite knowing what’s happening to them, you can create a visual sales process that shows:

• who has just enquired;
• who has been contacted;
• who is qualified;
• who has booked an appointment;
• who has received a proposal;
• who needs following up;
• and which deals have ultimately been won or lost.

But there’s an important point.

A HighLevel pipeline is only useful if it reflects the way your business actually sells.

That’s why our free HighLevel Sales Pipelines & Opportunities training workshop isn’t simply about showing you where to click.

We’ll look at how the HighLevel CRM works, but also at how you can design a sales process your team can actually use.

This workshop is part of MarketerM8’s rolling programme of 13 free live HighLevel training workshops.

What Is a HighLevel Sales Pipeline?

A HighLevel pipeline is a visual representation of a process.

Most commonly, that will be your sales process.

For example:

Each stage represents something meaningful that has happened in the relationship with the prospect.

Your team can then see opportunities moving through the pipeline as each sale progresses.

HighLevel’s own guidance recommends that pipeline stages reflect the actual steps in your sales process, rather than blindly adopting generic stage names.

Contact, Opportunity, Pipeline and Stage: What’s the Difference?

This is one of the most important concepts to understand when you start using HighLevel as a CRM.

HighLevel describes the relationship as:

The Contact

The contact is the person.

For example:

John Smith

His contact record may contain his email address, telephone number, company details, communication history and other information.

The Opportunity

The opportunity represents the potential deal or sale.

John Smith may be a contact in your database, but perhaps he’s also considering buying a £5,000 service from you.

That potential £5,000 sale is the opportunity.

The Pipeline

The pipeline represents the overall process that the opportunity moves through.

For example:

New Business Sales Pipeline

The Stage

The stage tells you where that particular opportunity currently sits within the process.

For example:

Proposal Sent

So we might have:

Once you understand that distinction, the Opportunities area in HighLevel starts to make considerably more sense.

Don’t Build Your Pipeline Around HighLevel

This may sound odd in an article about HighLevel pipeline training, but I’d avoid opening HighLevel and immediately creating stages.

Start with your existing sales process.

Ask:

• What happens when a new enquiry arrives?
• Who is responsible for contacting them?
• What makes a lead qualified?
• Do they normally book an appointment?
• Do you send a quotation or proposal?
• What happens if they’re not ready to buy?
• What happens if they don’t respond?
• At what point do you consider the sale won?
• Why do you normally lose opportunities?

Those answers should help define your pipeline.

Keep Your HighLevel Pipeline Stages Meaningful

One of the easiest mistakes to make is creating too many pipeline stages.

More stages don’t necessarily give you better information.

Every stage should answer a useful question about where the sale currently stands.

For example:

• New Enquiry tells us the lead has arrived but hasn’t yet progressed.
• Qualified tells us we’ve established that this is a genuine potential opportunity.
• Appointment Booked tells us the next sales conversation has been arranged.
• Proposal Sent tells us the prospect has received an offer.

A stage called something vague such as “Follow Up” may be less useful unless everybody on your team knows exactly what it means.

HighLevel’s current pipeline guidance similarly recommends stages that are clear and action-oriented so users know when an opportunity should move forward.

Your Pipeline Should Tell Your Team What Needs Attention

A good sales pipeline isn’t simply a historical record.

It should help your team decide what needs to happen next.

Imagine opening HighLevel and seeing:

• 12 new enquiries nobody has contacted;
• 8 qualified prospects waiting to book a meeting;
• 5 proposals waiting for follow-up;
• and 3 deals that haven’t moved for three weeks.

That gives your sales team something practical to work with.

The pipeline becomes a management tool rather than simply another place to store information.

HighLevel Opportunity Values Help You See Potential Revenue

An opportunity can also have a potential monetary value associated with it.

That means you can start thinking beyond:

“How many opportunities do we have?”

and towards:

“What are those opportunities potentially worth?”

For example:

Opportunity	Stage	Potential Value
Company A	Qualified	£2,500
Company B	Proposal Sent	£10,000
Company C	Appointment Booked	£4,000

Now you can start seeing not only how many opportunities are in the pipeline, but where potential revenue is sitting.

HighLevel Opportunities Can Have Owners

If several people sell within your business, responsibility matters.

An opportunity shouldn’t simply sit in the pipeline with everyone assuming someone else is dealing with it.

HighLevel allows opportunities to be assigned to owners.

That means the business can see who is responsible for progressing a particular potential sale.

This becomes increasingly important as your sales team grows.

Open, Won, Lost and Abandoned Opportunities

HighLevel also uses opportunity statuses to describe the overall outcome or current state of a deal.

The current default statuses include:

• Open – the opportunity is still active;
• Won – the sale or deal has been successfully completed;
• Lost – the opportunity wasn’t converted;
• Abandoned – the opportunity is no longer being actively pursued.

These statuses are different from your pipeline stages.

A stage might tell you where an opportunity is.

The status helps tell you what ultimately happened to it.

Don’t Ignore Lost Opportunities

This is where the marketer in me becomes particularly interested.

A lost sale isn’t necessarily a useless contact.

Someone may have said no because:

• the timing wasn’t right;
• they didn’t have the budget;
• they chose a competitor;
• their project was delayed;
• they couldn’t get internal approval;
• or they simply weren’t ready.

That may mean the opportunity is lost today.

It doesn’t necessarily mean the relationship is over forever.

HighLevel gives us an opportunity to think about what happens next.

Should they receive useful ongoing marketing?

Should somebody contact them again in six months?

Could they enter a nurture or reactivation campaign?

Closing an opportunity shouldn’t automatically mean throwing the contact away.

Use Pipelines to Spot Sales Bottlenecks

Once your pipeline is being used consistently, it can start showing you where sales are getting stuck.

Perhaps you’re generating plenty of enquiries but very few become qualified.

Perhaps people book appointments but don’t attend.

Perhaps you’re sending lots of proposals but not closing enough of them.

Those are useful marketing and sales questions.

The pipeline gives you the data to start asking them.

Rather than simply saying:

“We need more leads.”

you may discover that the real problem is:

“We’re already generating enough leads. We’re just not converting them effectively.”

HighLevel Pipelines Don’t Have to Be Just for Sales

Although pipelines are commonly used for sales, a pipeline is fundamentally a visual process.

That means businesses may also use pipelines to track other processes where something moves through defined stages.

For example:

• customer onboarding;
• recruitment;
• applications;
• case management;
• project stages;
• renewals;
• or service delivery.

However, don’t create a pipeline simply because you can.

Ask whether a visual staged process genuinely helps your team manage the work.

You Can Have More Than One HighLevel Pipeline

A business may have more than one process it wants to track.

For example, you could potentially have:

• a New Business Sales pipeline;
• a Recruitment pipeline;
• a Customer Onboarding pipeline;
• and a Renewals pipeline.

Again, keep things purposeful.

The objective isn’t to create lots of pipelines.

It’s to give your team better visibility and control over important processes.

HighLevel Pipelines and Automation Work Together

This is where pipelines become considerably more powerful.

You don’t necessarily have to create and move every opportunity manually.

HighLevel workflows can be used to create or update opportunities when particular things happen.

For example:

Or:

HighLevel’s current documentation confirms that opportunities can be created automatically through workflows in response to triggers such as forms, payments, contact creation, calls and surveys. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

This is where CRM and marketing automation start working together.

Automate Carefully

Just because HighLevel can move opportunities automatically doesn’t mean every stage change should be automated.

Ask whether HighLevel genuinely knows enough to make the decision.

For example, moving an opportunity to Appointment Booked when somebody books an appointment is fairly objective.

Moving them to Qualified may require human judgement depending on your sales process.

Automation should support your sales team.

It shouldn’t remove sensible human decision-making merely for the sake of automation.

Sales Pipeline Training Backed by Real Marketing Experience

This is another area where my background matters.

I’m not simply showing you how HighLevel’s Opportunities screen works.

I’ve worked hands-on in direct marketing since 1996 and with CRM and marketing automation since 2009.

Since 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of businesses improve, automate and systemise their marketing and sales processes.

I’m also a Certified Entrepreneurs Circle Marketing Coach and have helped Entrepreneurs Circle GenieAI subscribers implement AI and marketing automation within their businesses.

Through my own HighLevel agency, MarketerM8, I’ve personally onboarded more than 100 HighLevel users.

So when we’re looking at pipelines, we can think about:

• the sales process;
• the customer journey;
• the CRM structure;
• the automation;
• and the management information you actually need.

HighLevel is the technology we use to implement the process.

What If I Need Help Building My Own HighLevel Sales Pipeline?

A live workshop can teach you the principles.

But your own sales process may require more detailed work.

Perhaps you need help:

• mapping your sales process;
• deciding which pipeline stages you need;
• cleaning up an existing pipeline;
• creating several pipelines;
• assigning opportunities to your sales team;
• setting potential values;
• automating opportunity creation;
• building follow-up around pipeline stages;
• connecting calendars to opportunities;
• identifying why leads are falling through the cracks;
• or training your sales team to use HighLevel consistently.

That’s where I can provide remote HighLevel training and Done-With-You implementation.

For larger projects and teams, on-site HighLevel training and implementation is also available throughout the UK and internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions About HighLevel Sales Pipelines & Opportunities

What Is a Pipeline in GoHighLevel?

A pipeline represents a process that opportunities move through.

Most commonly, businesses use pipelines to represent their sales process.

Each stage should describe a meaningful step, such as New Enquiry, Qualified, Appointment Booked or Proposal Sent.

What Is an Opportunity in HighLevel?

An opportunity represents a potential deal or sale.

It is associated with a contact and can contain information such as the pipeline, current stage, potential value and owner.

The opportunity moves through your pipeline as the deal progresses.

What’s the Difference Between a Contact and an Opportunity?

A contact is the person.

An opportunity is a potential transaction or deal involving that person.

A contact can exist in your database without having an active sales opportunity.

This distinction is fundamental to understanding HighLevel as a CRM.

Can One Contact Have More Than One Opportunity in HighLevel?

Yes, depending on your HighLevel configuration and business process, a contact can be associated with separate opportunities.

This can be useful where the same person or organisation has more than one potential deal, service or transaction being tracked.

What Is a Pipeline Stage?

A pipeline stage represents a particular step in your process.

For example:

New Enquiry → Qualified → Appointment Booked → Proposal Sent

Your stages should reflect the way your business genuinely works rather than simply copying generic examples.

How Many Stages Should My HighLevel Pipeline Have?

There isn’t a correct number.

Use enough stages to give your team useful visibility without making the pipeline unnecessarily complicated.

Every stage should represent something meaningful that has happened or needs to happen.

Can I Have More Than One Pipeline in HighLevel?

Yes.

You may have different processes that need their own pipelines.

For example, a business might have separate New Business Sales, Customer Onboarding and Recruitment pipelines.

Only create separate pipelines where the processes genuinely need to be tracked independently.

Can HighLevel Automatically Create Opportunities?

Yes.

HighLevel workflows can create or update opportunities when particular triggers occur.

For example, a website enquiry could automatically create an opportunity in your New Enquiry stage and notify the appropriate salesperson.

Can HighLevel Automatically Move Opportunities Between Stages?

Yes, workflows can be used to update opportunities when appropriate.

However, automate stage changes only where HighLevel has enough information to make the decision reliably.

Some sales decisions still require human judgement.

Can HighLevel Assign Opportunities to Salespeople?

Yes.

Opportunities can have owners, helping businesses make it clear which team member is responsible for progressing a particular deal.

This becomes particularly useful when several salespeople work from the same pipeline.

Can I Add a Value to a HighLevel Opportunity?

Yes.

Opportunities can include a potential monetary value.

This helps you understand the potential revenue represented by the opportunities sitting in your pipeline rather than looking only at the number of deals.

What Are Open, Won and Lost Opportunities?

Open opportunities are still active.

Won opportunities have successfully converted into a sale or deal.

Lost opportunities weren’t converted.

HighLevel also currently includes an Abandoned status for opportunities that are no longer actively being pursued.

Should I Delete Lost Opportunities?

Usually I’d be cautious about simply deleting them.

A lost opportunity contains useful information about what happened to a potential sale.

The contact may also still be valuable for future marketing, nurture or reactivation depending on why the opportunity was lost and what permissions you have to communicate with them.

Can HighLevel Pipelines Be Used for Things Other Than Sales?

Yes.

Pipelines can potentially be used to track other staged processes such as recruitment, onboarding, applications, renewals or service delivery.

The question is whether a visual staged process genuinely helps your team manage that activity.

Can HighLevel Calendars Work With Sales Pipelines?

Yes.

Appointments can form part of your sales process and workflows can be used to update opportunities based on booking activity.

This can help connect appointment scheduling with the wider CRM journey.

Can HighLevel Workflows Work With Pipelines?

Yes.

This is one of the most powerful combinations in HighLevel.

Workflows can create and update opportunities, trigger communication, assign tasks and support follow-up as leads move through your sales process.

Can HighLevel Help Me Forecast Sales?

HighLevel opportunities can contain potential deal values and pipeline stages, giving you useful visibility of what may be coming through the sales process.

However, a pipeline forecast is only as useful as the data your team puts into it.

If opportunities aren’t updated consistently or values are unrealistic, the resulting forecast won’t tell you very much.

Is the HighLevel Sales Pipelines & Opportunities Workshop Free?

Yes.

The Sales Pipelines & Opportunities workshop is part of MarketerM8’s programme of free live HighLevel training workshops.

There’s no charge to attend the live workshop.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer to Attend?

No.

You can attend our free HighLevel training workshops without being a MarketerM8 subscriber.

Can I Ask Questions During the Pipeline Workshop?

Yes.

That’s one of the advantages of live HighLevel training.

You can see how the CRM works and ask questions about pipelines, opportunities and the sales processes we’re discussing.

What Should I Learn After HighLevel Sales Pipelines?

If you want HighLevel to automatically create, update and follow up opportunities, I’d recommend our HighLevel Workflows & Automation workshop.

If appointments form part of your sales process, our HighLevel Calendars & Appointments workshop is also relevant.

You can explore all the subjects in our free HighLevel training programme.

Ready to Take Control of Your HighLevel Sales Pipeline?

A good CRM shouldn’t simply tell you who is in your database.

It should help you understand:

Who might buy?

Where are they in the sales process?

What might the opportunity be worth?

Who is responsible for it?

And what needs to happen next?

That’s what a well-designed HighLevel pipeline should help you achieve.

And that’s exactly what our Sales Pipelines & Opportunities workshop is designed to help you understand.
