How to Set Up Webinars in HighLevel

how to set up webinars in HighLevel

how to set up webinars in HighLevelWebinars are still a powerful way to educate prospects, build authority, and generate leads. But the real game-changer is when you combine them with HighLevel’s all-in-one CRM system. Instead of bolting together Zoom, Eventbrite, Mailchimp, and landing pages, you can run everything under one roof — registration, reminders, follow-up, replays, and even sales automation.

In this post, I’ll walk you through how to set up a webinar in HighLevel step by step.

Step 1. Decide on Your Webinar Format

Before you touch the tech, decide what kind of webinar you’re running:

  • Live Webinar – Interactive, real-time, often better for building trust.

  • Evergreen Webinar – Pre-recorded, runs on autopilot, but can feel less authentic.

Step 2. Set Up Your Webinar Funnel

Inside HighLevel, create a funnel that includes:

  1. Registration Page – Use a simple form (name + email) with a clear promise of value.

  2. Thank You Page – Confirm their registration and invite them to add the session to their calendar.

  3. Replay Page (optional) – Useful if you want to send recordings afterwards.

HighLevel’s drag-and-drop funnel builder makes this straightforward — no need for third-party webinar platforms that complicate things.

Step 3. Automate Your Reminders

This is where HighLevel shines. Build a workflow that:

  • Sends confirmation immediately after someone registers.

  • Sends reminders 24 hours, 1 hour, and 15 minutes before the webinar.

  • Includes SMS as well as email (attendance rates jump when you do this).

Pro tip: You can also use HighLevel’s Calendar & Appointment system to let people choose a webinar slot, especially if you’re running multiple dates.

Pro tip: You can also integrate a WhatsApp business account into your HighLevel account so you can send confirmations and reminders via WhatsApp messages.

Step 4. Deliver the Webinar

For delivery, you have options:

  • Native Zoom Integration – HighLevel connects directly to Zoom. Registrations can sync automatically if you are using Zoom Webinars.

  • YouTube Live or Facebook Live Embed – Stream directly and embed the video in your HighLevel funnel page.

Step 5. Follow Up Automatically

The fortune is in the follow-up. After your webinar, HighLevel can:

  • Send out the replay link.

  • Trigger a nurture sequence with related content.

  • Move attendees into your HighLEvel pipeline so your sales team (or AI Assistant) can follow up.

  • Tag attendees vs. no-shows so you can message each group differently.

Step 6. Track and Improve

Finally, use HighLevel’s reporting to measure:

  • Registration vs. attendance rates.

  • Engagement in the chat/Q&A.

  • Sales or bookings generated.

This data helps you refine the next one.

Webinars vs. Workshops

One last word: while HighLevel makes webinars simple, many small businesses find workshops work better. Webinars can sometimes feel like a polished sales pitch, whereas workshops are interactive, hands-on, and build trust over time. That’s why we run weekly HighLevel workshops at MarketerM8. They’re educational, practical, and — crucially — they generate leads without the hard sell.

Summary

HighLevel lets you set up the full end-to-end webinar system: funnels, reminders, delivery, and follow-up — all in one place. Whether you’re running a one-off webinar, an evergreen series, or turning your webinars into regular workshops, it’s an indispensable tool.

Looking for an Alternative to Your HighLevel White-Label Agency? And Move Your Sub Account?

by
find alternative highlevel agency white label

highlevel alternative supplier agencyIf you’re searching for an alternative to your current HighLevel white-label agency provider – then you’re probably weighing up your options.

The first thing to say is this: HighLevel itself is an excellent platform. The frustrations people run into usually aren’t about the software—they’re about how it’s packaged, supported, and delivered by the agency they signed up with.

So before we talk about MarketerM8, let’s lay out the real alternatives you’ve got.

The Alternatives You Should Be Considering if You Want to Move Your Sub Account

  1. Go direct to HighLevel
    You can bypass a white-label agency entirely and sign up directly with HighLevel. This is the DIY approach. You’ll get all the key features, access to their official support, and the HighLevel community. (Please note that the HighLevel Starter and Unlimited plans do lack a few features – the main one to consider is that you do not have full API capabilities (you need this if you want to integrate with 3rd party tools)).

    For those with a technical inclination and time, this is the cleanest route—especially if you’re happy to learn the platform yourself. Check out HighLevel here.

  2. Stick with your current provider
    Sometimes it’s worth pushing a little harder on support or making sure you’ve fully explored the resources available to you. It might be salvageable.

  3. Switch to another white-label agency
    Not all agencies are the same. Some agencies specialise in and are 100% focused on HighLevel – for others it is a part time sideline to their main business. Some focus on hands-on training and onboarding. Others focus on ready-to-go snapshots. The model varies a lot, and it’s worth checking which aligns best with what you need.

  4. Consider MarketerM8
    And then there’s us. We specialise 100% in HighLevel. Our approach is built on three things: transparency, ongoing training, and real support.

Why People Go Looking for an Alternative

When people come to me asking “what’s the alternative to [Agency X]?”, they usually tell me the same things:

  • Onboarding was slow and generic

  • Training wasn’t practical or in-depth

  • Extra costs kept popping up

  • Templates (snapshots) didn’t fit their niche or their specific business model

  • Support wasn’t responsive or helpful

None of this means HighLevel is the wrong choice. It means the way you access it hasn’t been working for you.

How to Move to a New HighLevel White Label Agency

The good news is that technically, moving from one HighLevel agency to another is straightforward.

  • Your new agency gives you a Relationship number.

  • You provide that to your current agency.

  • It takes them just a few minutes to initiate the transfer.

  • The new agency accepts your sub-account

That’s all it takes on the technical side.

The complication comes if your current provider has tied you into a contract. In that case, they may not be as quick—or as willing—to let you go. So it’s important to check your agreement first and understand whether you’re free to move or locked in for a period.

What Makes Us at MarketerM8 Different

If you decide a new partner is the right move, here’s what you’ll find with us:

  • 100% Dedicated to HighLevel – We are not a “jack of all trades” or dabble with ClickFunnels, MailChimp, ActiveCampaign etc etc, we are focused to deliver the best HighLevel support for our subscribers.

  • Real support, not just ticket systems – we’re UK-based, and you can actually speak to us. Call us on 07897 031750. In addition we have a worldwide network of support agents so we provide 24/7 unlimited tech support.

  • Weekly live workshops – so you keep learning and adapting as HighLevel evolves.

  • Flexible, modular snapshots – not rigid templates that force you into a corner.

  • Transparent pricing – no hidden costs or nasty surprises.

  • Partner ecosystem – if you work with VAs or OBMs, we’ve built a programme to help you scale with them under your brand.

Final Thought

If you’re unhappy with your current provider, you’ve got options:

  • Go direct to HighLevel

  • Try to make it work with your current agency

  • Or find a white-label partner that gives you the support and training you need

Whichever path you take, the important thing is making HighLevel work for your business. And if you’d like to explore how MarketerM8 can help with that, we’d be happy to talk.

How to Run Better Webinars: 7 Fixes You Need — and One Big Shift to Workshops

How to Run Better Webinars: 7 Fixes You Need — and One Big Shift to WorkshopsHow to Run Better Webinars: 7 Fixes You Need — and One Big Shift to Workshops

Webinars can be a powerful tool for building trust and winning new clients — but many business owners find that while people register, the conversions just don’t happen.

If you’ve been struggling to make webinars pay off, you’re not alone. The good news is that a few simple fixes can boost your results immediately. And there’s one bigger shift you can make that will transform your approach altogether.

Here are 7 practical fixes you can apply today, followed by the one big change that makes all the difference.

1. Define your conversion goal

Don’t start a webinar without being crystal clear about what you want people to do afterwards. Is it booking a discovery call? Signing up for a programme? Downloading a resource? Your content should be designed to lead people there.

2. Simplify your registration

Every field you add to a registration form reduces sign-ups. Keep it to the essentials — name and email is usually enough.

3. Use automated reminders

Attendance is always lower than registration. Send a confirmation email and at least two reminders (24 hours before and one hour before). Adding SMS reminders increases attendance even further.

4. Hook them in the first five minutes

Conversions drop if people leave early. Start with energy. Make it clear what they’ll get by staying to the end, and don’t waste time with long intros or housekeeping.

5. Keep slides short and visual

Your audience didn’t come to read. Slides should support your message, not replace it. Use simple visuals or a single key point per slide.

6. Build interaction into the session

Chat, polls, and Q&A keep attention levels high. People who interact are more likely to follow your call to action.

7. End with a clear next step

Never close with a vague “get in touch.” Spell out what you want people to do and make it easy — whether it’s clicking a link, booking a call, or joining a programme.

The big shift: stop doing one-off webinars

Here’s the truth nobody tells you: one-off webinars don’t convert well. People dip in and out, forget you, and move on.

The smarter approach is to stop treating webinars as isolated events and start running a series of workshops.

Workshops give you a structure:

  • Each session builds on the last.

  • Attendees know there’s a journey, not just a one-off presentation.

  • You create more trust, more interaction, and far more conversions.

That’s why I’ve written the Workshop Marketing With HighLevel Guide — it shows you exactly how to design and deliver a workshop series that consistently turns attendees into clients.

10 Ways to Improve Your Webinar Conversions

by
10 ways to improve your webinar conversions

10 ways to improve your webinar conversionsWebinars are still one of the most effective ways to attract leads and build authority. The challenge? Turning attendees into clients. Many businesses see plenty of registrations, but struggle to get real conversions.

Here are 10 practical ways to improve your webinar conversions.

1. Start with a clear purpose

Conversions won’t happen by chance. Decide what you want people to do at the end of the session: book a call, sign up for a trial, or download a resource. Shape your content to guide them there.

2. Keep the registration simple

Don’t over-engineer the sign-up form. A name and email is usually enough. Every extra field will reduce your conversion rate before the webinar even starts.

3. Use automated reminders

The best content won’t help if nobody shows up. Send a confirmation email and at least two reminders (24 hours and one hour before). Email and SMS together work best.

4. Make the opening engaging

Conversions drop if people switch off early. Start strong. Explain what they’ll get by staying until the end, and set the expectation that you’ll share a clear next step. Even think about building part of your webianr right onto the sign up thank you page – so they get value right off the bat after signing up – so after getting early value they are much more likely to show up for the main event.

5. Focus on outcomes, not features

Attendees don’t want a feature tour; they want to know how you can solve their problem. Shift the focus from “what it does” to “what it delivers.”

6. Encourage interaction

Engagement leads to conversions. Use polls, questions, or short exercises. People who type in the chat or answer a poll are far more likely to take action later.

7. Keep it concise

Don’t lose momentum by dragging on. Aim for 30–40 minutes of content plus 10–15 minutes for Q&A. Shorter, sharper sessions improve conversion rates.

8. Stop doing webinars

This sounds counter-intuitive, but one-off webinars rarely deliver consistent conversions. A smarter approach is to run a series of workshops. Each workshop builds on the last, creating trust and giving your audience reasons to come back. This structured format converts better than stand-alone webinars because it positions you as a trusted advisor, not just a sales guy.

I’ve written a guide on this approach — Workshop Marketing With HighLevel – which shows you how to design a repeatable workshop series that generates clients week after week.

9. Have a strong call to action

Never end a webinar with a vague “get in touch.” Tell people exactly what to do and why it matters. Whether it’s booking a discovery call or downloading a guide, be clear and direct.

10. Record and repurpose

Your webinar isn’t just a live event. Record it, edit highlights, and use the content across social media, email nurturing, and your website. Repurposing helps keep conversions ticking long after the live session ends.

Improving webinar conversions isn’t about flashy slides or perfect delivery. It’s about guiding people through a clear journey, showing them the value you offer, and giving them a structured way to take the next step.

“Comment to DM Automation” in HighLevel – Just Like ManyChat Does

by
comment to dm in highlevel just like Manychat

comment to dm in highlevel just like ManychatFor years, tools like ManyChat have been popular with businesses wanting to turn Facebook and Instagram engagement into private conversations. You’ve probably seen it: “Comment [keyword] below and we’ll send you the details!”

Until recently, that sort of automation required an external chatbot platform like ManyChat. But the good news is — you can now build the same type of comment to DM automation directly inside HighLevel.

That means fewer tools, one central inbox, and a much smoother experience for both your team and your leads.

What Is Comment to DM Automation?

In simple terms:

  • A user comments on your Facebook or Instagram post.

  • HighLevel automatically detects the comment.

  • The system then sends that person a direct message straight to Messenger or Instagram DM.

It’s a proven strategy because:

  • It converts casual engagement into private conversations.

  • It avoids your sales team missing leads who never check back on the post.

  • It feels natural and conversational, not “salesy.”

Why Use It in HighLevel Instead of ManyChat?

ManyChat is a strong tool, but it only does one job: chatbots. HighLevel goes much further by combining:

  • CRM – every lead who comments goes straight into your database.

  • Conversations Inbox – manage texts, emails, calls, DMs, and comments all in one place.

  • Automation – trigger follow-up sequences, tags, and pipelines, not just a single message.

  • Plus Many Other Tools for instance Social Media Planner, Paid Ad Manger, Websites, Funnels, Online Courses to name a few. Check out MarketerM8.com for the full list.

  • Fewer Subscriptions – no need to pay for multiple platforms.

So instead of “bolt-on chatbots”, you’re building a fully integrated system that joins the dots between marketing, sales, and service.

How to Set It Up in HighLevel

Here’s the step-by-step approach:

  1. Connect Your Facebook & Instagram Accounts

    • In HighLevel, go to Settings → Integrations and link your social media accounts.

  2. Create a Workflow

    • Head to Automation → Workflows.

    • Add a trigger: Facebook/Instagram Comment on Post.

  3. Set Conditions (Optional)

    • For example, only trigger if the comment contains a certain word like “info” or “yes please.”

  4. Send the DM

    • Add a workflow action: Send Message.

    • Choose Facebook or Instagram DM as the channel.

    • Write your message in a natural, friendly tone.

  5. Add CRM Actions

    • Tag the contact.

    • Add them to a pipeline stage.

    • Trigger follow-up emails or SMS if appropriate.

Examples You Can Use

  • Local Business: “Comment YES for a free voucher – we’ll DM it to you.”

  • Coaches & Consultants: “Comment INFO and I’ll send you the link to my free workshop.”

  • E-commerce: “Comment COUPON for your discount code.”

The beauty is that HighLevel not only sends the DM but also keeps that new lead in your CRM for ongoing follow-up.

Final Thoughts

Comment to DM automation is one of those simple tactics that can dramatically increase lead generation. With HighLevel, you don’t just send a message — you trigger an entire customer journey that can include reminders, nurturing campaigns, and even online booking.

If you’ve been using ManyChat (or thinking about it), it’s worth knowing that you can now do the same and more inside HighLevel — without needing yet another subscription.

How to Migrate from Monday.com to HighLevel

by
monday.com to highlevel

monday.com to highlevelMonday.com is a well-known project management tool. It’s great for planning tasks, collaborating with your team, and keeping projects moving. But for many businesses, managing projects is only part of the story.

If you also need to track sales, manage client communications, run marketing campaigns, and automate your follow-up, Monday.com quickly starts to feel limited. That’s where HighLevel comes in.

HighLevel isn’t designed to be another project management platform. Instead, it replaces and centralises your CRM, sales pipeline, calendars, client conversations, marketing automation, websites, funnels and more — all in one system. Check out the current list of tools and features at MarketerM8.com. For a lot of businesses, that means you can cut down the number of tools you’re paying for and remove the multi system chaos caused by many unconnected systems.

Here’s how to successfully migrate from Monday.com to HighLevel.

Step 1: Review What You’re Using Monday.com For

Before moving anything, take stock. Are you using Monday.com just for internal project tracking, or have you also bent it into a CRM or sales tracker? Many small businesses end up using it to manage leads and clients — and that’s the part HighLevel is built to replace (and improve).

Step 2: Decide What Stays and What Goes

  • If you’re mainly using Monday.com for client pipelines, tasks linked to sales, or lightweight automations, then these can all be moved into HighLevel.

  • If you’re using Monday.com for detailed internal project management (think Gantt charts, resource allocation, or deep team project planning), this is not what HighLevel does (as of Aug 2025) and you may still want to keep a project tool alongside HighLevel — but you’ll no longer need it for client-facing processes.

Step 3: Export Your Data from Monday.com

Most Monday.com boards can be exported as Excel or CSV files. From here, clean your data — remove duplicates, outdated info, and decide what’s worth bringing across.

Step 4: Import into HighLevel

HighLevel allows you to import:

  • Contacts (your clients, leads, prospects).

  • Pipelines & Opportunities (to replace sales boards you may have in Monday.com).

Step 5: Rebuild Your Workflows in HighLevel

This is where the migration becomes an upgrade. HighLevel allows you to automate far more than Monday.com:

  • Move leads automatically through pipeline stages.

  • Trigger emails, texts, or reminders based on activity.

  • Assign tasks automatically when new opportunities appear.

Step 6: Train Your Team

Show your team how HighLevel consolidates everything:

  • Conversations → All calls, texts, and emails in one inbox.

  • Pipelines → Visual sales tracking.

  • Automations → No more manual follow-up.

Step 7: Phase Out Monday.com

Once you’re confident your client processes are running smoothly in HighLevel, you can reduce (or fully cancel) your Monday.com subscription. If you still need project management features for internal projects, you might switch to a lighter-weight tool alongside HighLevel, but for most businesses, HighLevel will cover 80–90% of what matters.

Final Thoughts

Migrating from Monday.com to HighLevel isn’t just about swapping tools — it’s about shifting from a project-first mindset to a client-first, all-in-one business system.

Instead of managing projects in isolation, you’ll be able to:

  • Keep every client communication in one place.

  • Automate your follow-up and marketing.

  • Streamline your sales pipeline.

  • Cut down on the number of separate tools you’re paying for.

If you’d like help making the switch, I work with UK businesses to migrate smoothly and set up HighLevel so it fits the way you work.

Is HighLevel the Right CRM and Marketing Automation Platform for Counsellors and Therapists?

by
CRM and marketing automation for counsellors and therapists using HighLevel

CRM and marketing automation for counsellors and therapists using HighLevelIf you’re a counsellor or therapist running your own practice, you’ve probably asked yourself some version of this question:

“How can I attract more ideal clients without spending hours every week on admin and marketing?”

You’re not alone — and there’s a smarter way forward. Let’s talk about CRM, automation, and how HighLevel could transform the way you run your private practice.

Why Counsellors Are Turning to CRM and Marketing Automation

The demand for therapy and counselling is growing. That’s the good news.

But the not-so-good news? Clients expect fast replies, seamless bookings, and a professional experience from the first click. If you’re still juggling appointment reminders, client intake forms, follow-up emails, and social media posts manually
 you’re burning time and risking missed opportunities.

A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system like HighLevel helps you:

✅ Capture leads from your website or social media
✅ Automatically follow up with new enquiries
✅ Send appointment reminders via email or SMS
✅ Maintain professional client communication
✅ Set up AI tools to respond instantly when you’re unavailable

And it’s not just about tech for tech’s sake. It’s about giving you more time to focus on clients — while your system takes care of the rest.

What Makes HighLevel a Good Fit for Mental Health Professionals?

HighLevel isn’t some generic marketing platform. It’s a fully customisable system that can be tailored to the specific needs of private practices and clinics.

Here’s how it’s already helping other professionals in the mental health field:

  • Client onboarding forms that auto-send after a booking

  • Secure reminders to reduce no-shows

  • Automated follow-ups for new enquiry forms

  • Reputation management tools to gather and display reviews

  • Social media planners so you can stay visible without stress

  • AI assistants that can answer FAQs or book clients when you’re in session

Best of all? Everything lives in one place — no more juggling Calendly, Mailchimp, Typeform, and Google Sheets.

What About Data Privacy and Security?

This is a crucial concern, and rightly so. As a HighLevel consultant, I work with clients to ensure:

  • Your system is GDPR-compliant

  • Forms and communications are encrypted

  • Intake processes are secure and professional

  • Access is controlled and confidential

You remain in control — and your clients’ data stays protected.

Do You Need to Be “Techy” to Use HighLevel?

Absolutely not.

HighLevel is powerful, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you want a fully “done-for-you” setup or prefer to learn the ropes with some support, I offer flexible help tailored to your needs.

You’re the expert in mental health. I’m here to help with the systems that support you.

Looking for an AI Phone Call Answering Service? Check Out VoiceAI in HighLevel

by
looking for an ai call answering system. VoiceAI in HighLevel coudl be the solution

looking for an ai call answering system. VoiceAI in HighLevel coudl be the solutionIf you’re a small business owner, chances are you’ve missed more than a few calls. And with every missed call, there’s the potential for lost business — whether it’s a new enquiry, an appointment request, or a returning customer with a time-sensitive need.

That’s where AI phone answering solutions come into play — and HighLevel’s VoiceAI might just be the game-changer you’ve been looking for.

✅ What is VoiceAI in HighLevel?

VoiceAI is HighLevel’s built-in AI answering service that can automatically answer your business calls, respond to customer questions, take messages, and even book appointments – all without human intervention.

Think of it like having a 24/7 virtual receptionist that never gets sick, never takes a break, and always answers on the first ring.

đŸ’Œ Why Business Owners Are Turning to VoiceAI

Here’s what makes VoiceAI so useful for service-based businesses, clinics, agencies, and trades:

  • Never miss a call again – Every call is answered instantly, even outside of business hours.

  • Book appointments directly over the phone – VoiceAI can integrate with your calendar to handle bookings and reduce manual admin.

  • Customised scripts – Tailor your AI receptionist to greet callers just like a real member of your team.

  • Instant call logging – Every interaction is logged automatically into your HighLevel CRM.

  • Voicemail fallback – If the AI can’t answer a question, it still takes a message and tags it for follow-up.

  • Massively scalable – Unlike a human receptionist or even most virtual call centres, VoiceAI can handle up to 200 simultaneous calls. That means if 10, 50 or 100 people call at once – every single one will still be answered.

🧠 HighLevel – More Than Just an AI Receptionist

Most “AI receptionist” tools are limited. They answer calls, maybe log them, and that’s it.

But HighLevel is a complete all-in-one sales and marketing system. That means once VoiceAI has answered the call and booked the appointment, the rest of the journey can be automated too:

  • Trigger follow-up SMS or emails

  • Add contacts to nurture workflows

  • Automatically tag or assign leads to team members

  • Track conversations and deal progress in your pipeline

From lead capture to conversion – everything is handled in one place.

💾 Better Value Than Piecing Together Tools

VoiceAI in HighLevel doesn’t require separate third-party subscriptions, complicated integrations, or costly per-minute billing models. It’s simply part of the HighLevel ecosystem, which replaces tools like Calendly, Mailchimp, ClickFunnels, Typeform, and yes – traditional phone answering services.

🚀 Is VoiceAI Right for You?

If your business depends on incoming calls and you’re losing opportunities because no one’s picking up – it’s time to upgrade. AI phone answering is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s becoming a competitive advantage.

Whether you’re a dental clinic, an agency, a plumber, a coach, or a consultant, HighLevel’s VoiceAI helps you look professional, stay responsive, and win more business – without needing to grow your headcount.

📞 Want to See VoiceAI in Action?

We’ll show you how it works inside a live HighLevel account – including booking flows, scripts, and follow-up automation.

Should I Build My Website in HighLevel or WordPress?

by
highlevel or wordpress

highlevel or wordpressIf you are choosing where to build your website today, the decision is no longer a simple WordPress versus everything else debate.

If you are already using HighLevel as your CRM and marketing system, you now have three realistic options to consider. Each has clear strengths, limitations, and cost implications.

Let’s walk through all three properly.

Option 1. Build Your Website Directly in HighLevel

HighLevel includes a built-in website and funnel builder. Functionally, it is closer to Wix or Squarespace than to WordPress.

What this option does well

  • Tight integration with the HighLevel CRM, forms, calendars, pipelines, and automation
  • Simple visual editor that is easy for non-technical users
  • No plugins to manage
  • Unlimited Sites and Hosting included within your HighLevel account
  • Lots of pre built templates
  • Very fast to launch brochure sites and lead generation websites. I set up marketerm8.com from a template in a Friday evening

Where it has limitations

  • Layout flexibility is more limited than WordPress
  • Simple websites, cannot build complex sites
  • Blogging is basic and not ideal for long-term content-heavy SEO strategies
  • No plugin ecosystem. (on this site, julianmills.co.uk, in WordPress, I use about 40 plug ins to give advanced functionality)
  • Complex page structures and custom functionality are harder to implement

Summary. HighLevel websites are ideal when your site is a simple format website (e.g. a home page, about us, Our services, Contact Us pages etc). They are perfect if you are not a website designer. Ideal if you need to quickly get a site up and running for a “side project”. They are not suitable for large content libraries or advanced custom functionality.

Option 2. A Traditional WordPress Website With External Hosting

This is the setup most people are familiar with.

You build your website using WordPress and you usually hire a web design agency and then buy the hosting the agency recommends.

What this option does well

  • Maximum flexibility
  • The software is free
  • Huge plugin and theme ecosystem
  • Excellent blogging and SEO capabilities
  • Works with virtually any design approach
  • No platform lock-in

WordPress remains the benchmark for content-driven websites.

The trade-offs people often underestimate

  • You will need a website designer and it could take months to get the site live (unless you already know WordPress)
  • You/ or your designer are responsible for updates, backups, security, and compatibility
  • Hosting costs vary widely and often increase over time
  • Performance depends heavily on hosting quality
  • Integration with HighLevel relies on plug-ins, scripts, or embeds

Summary. This option gives you control and total flexibility, but you also inherit ongoing technical responsibility. Ideal if you are working with a web design agency or designer and you want a custom built website.

Option 3. WordPress Hosted Inside HighLevel

This is the newer option and the one many people are not yet aware of.

HighLevel now allows you to host a full WordPress website inside the HighLevel ecosystem.

How this works

  • You build a normal WordPress website. Your web designer can log in to build and update the site.
  • WordPress is hosted by HighLevel
  • The software is free but the hosting cost is $20 per site per month (that is the cost with MarketerM8, other agencies may differ)
  • Hosting includes:
    • 30-day rolling backups at no extra cost
    • A built-in staging environment
    • Managed infrastructure

You still get WordPress flexibility, but without sourcing and managing third-party hosting.

Why this option is compelling

  • Full WordPress flexibility
  • No need to manage separate hosting accounts
  • Backups included without additional plug-ins
  • Staging environment included, which many budget hosts do not provide
  • Clean integration with the rest of your HighLevel setup

Summary. This option sits neatly between the other two. You get WordPress flexibility with far less hosting friction. All your marketing tools are accessible and manageable through your HighLevel log in.

My Experience of moving my WordPress site to HighLevel WordPress Hosting. What I Actually Use and Why

I have been using a self-hosted version of WordPress for around 20 years. My hosting setup was the HostGator Baby Plan. When I started out in 2005 and with the little I knew at the time the main attraction was that the hosting plan it allowed me to host unlimited websites for roughly ÂŁ175 per year. That made it cost-effective for running multiple personal and client sites.

The downside was speed. Page load times were never great, and WordPress admin actions often felt sluggish. I tolerated this because of the convenience and because switching hosting always feels more complex than it should be.

How This Changed With HighLevel

Since moving my business systems into HighLevel and now that HighLevel can offer WordPress hosting, my old approach approach with separate web hosting no longer made sense.

All of my newer websites, including projects like marketerm8.com and many client sites, are now built using HighLevel websites (Option 1 above). For simple business websites, these work extremely well. I genuinely enjoy using the built-in website builder. It is quicker and easier than WordPress for many use cases. The sites rank well in Google and AI Search Optimisation – although it is hard to compare at the moment as the sites are newer and HighLevel website functionality is still evolving.

However, my main site, julianmills.co.uk, is different. It has a large amount of content and a strong SEO footprint. Rebuilding that site from scratch inside a template-style builder would not have been sensible. Plus my site julianmills.co.uk it is my geeky hobby – a 20 year work in progress!

Once I saw how much better HighLevel WordPress hosting was compared to my HostGator setup, I decided to make the switch.

Overall, it works out slightly cheaper to host my WordPress website in HighLevel than the previous HostGator plus JetPack combination  (Hosting + Backups) I was previously paying for. And for any additional websites that I need then I build these with the built in HighLevel website builder, as I can build and host as many websites using the HighLevel website builder as I need and they are effectively free of charge.

The Migration. An Honest Account

The migration of my www.julianmills.co.uk site from HostGator to HighLevel was not completely straightforward in my case. That was due to my specific setup and website size rather than an issue with HighLevel itself.

HighLevel provides multiple migration options.

Check out what HighLevel founder, Shaun CLark has to say –

DIY migration using the LeadConnector plugin

HighLevel provides a LeadConnector migration plugin with step-by-step instructions. I have heard good reports from others who found this easy.

In my case, it struggled. My HostGator Baby Plan had grown over the years and appeared to be around 15GB in size. Because it was a shared hosting environment with multiple websites, the plugin could not complete the migration reliably.

Here is the Migration guide for reference. WordPress Hosting Step-by-Step Migration Guide

HighLevel White-Glove Migration Assistance

HighLevel also offers a White-Glove Migration Assistance service. This option is only available to White Label HighLevel agencies. If you are a customer of a HighLevel agency, you will need to ask your agency supplier to request this on your behalf.

I used the White-Glove Migration Assistance service and was very impressed.

Although the HighLevel WordPress hosting limit is 10GB (unless upgraded), my site was actually much smaller, closer to 3GB once old backups and unused files were removed and it was split away for other websites hosted in the Hostgator Baby plan. I did some manual clean-up, after which the migration completed smoothly.

Performance Improvements. Immediately Noticeable

Once the site was moved, it was largely plain sailing. A couple of DNS changes and the site was live.

The first thing I noticed was speed. Page rendering was faster on desktop and mobile, and WordPress admin actions were dramatically quicker (the slow admin speed of my Hostgator hosted W0rdPress site had become a frustration) . Previously for instance updates could take three seconds or more – this does not sound much but the time delays all add up as you work on the website.

I am also expecting SEO improvements over time. Page speed had consistently been flagged as an issue in Google Search Console. Any ranking improvements will take time, but the technical foundation is now much stronger.

A Simple Comparison

Option Flexibility Maintenance SEO Best For
HighLevel Website Low to Medium Very Low Medium Lead generation sites
WordPress + External Hosting Very High High High Content-heavy websites
HighLevel Hosted WordPress Very High Medium High WordPress without hosting headaches

Final Recommendations

  • If you are starting a new website and have no WordPress experience, I would start with a website template in the HighLevel website builder and use the free hosting. It is faster, easier, and less technical. And does a great job (much better than Wix!)
  • If you have a very large or complex website, especially ecommerce or one managed by an external agency, involve them in the hosting decision. If you work with a marketing agency / designer who already provides hosting think carefully about moving to HighLevel WordPress hosting – you do not want to have the issue in the future where if something goes wrong with the website then no one accepts responsibility.
  • If you have a typical WordPress website, up to say 8GB in size, on shared hosting and are unhappy with speed or performance, moving WordPress hosting into HighLevel is well worth considering.

Bringing your website, CRM, automation, forms, calendars, and tracking under one platform simplifies a lot of moving parts. In my case, it has been a very worthwhile change.

What Is HighLevel?

HighLevel, also widely known as GoHighLevel, is an all-in-one CRM, sales and marketing automation platform.

It brings together many of the tools businesses would otherwise buy separately, including:

  • CRM and contact management
  • Sales pipelines and opportunities
  • Email marketing
  • Marketing automation and workflows
  • Forms and surveys
  • Appointment calendars
  • Websites and sales funnels
  • Online payments
  • Reviews and reputation management
  • Social media scheduling
  • Memberships, courses and communities
  • SMS and phone calls
  • WhatsApp
  • Live chat
  • AI chat and Voice AI
  • Documents and contracts

For the right business, HighLevel can replace several separate software subscriptions while providing one central system for managing leads, customers, sales and marketing.

How Much Does HighLevel Cost in the UK?

If you’re researching HighLevel UK pricing, you’ll probably find most prices quoted in US dollars.

That’s because HighLevel is a US-based company and its direct plans are primarily designed around the needs of agencies.

MarketerM8 provides UK businesses with another way to access HighLevel.

HighLevel Through MarketerM8. From ÂŁ97 + VAT per Month

Our entry-level MarketerM8 plan gives you a HighLevel account for your business with unlimited contacts and users.

You also get help with the essential setup, access to support and our live weekly HighLevel workshops.

There is no need to become a HighLevel agency yourself simply because you want to use the software to market and manage your business.

Should I Buy HighLevel Direct or Through a UK HighLevel Agency?

This is an important distinction.

HighLevel has grown largely through agencies. Agencies buy HighLevel and can provide individual HighLevel accounts to their clients.

If you’re a UK business wanting to use HighLevel for your own sales, marketing and customer management, you don’t necessarily need your own HighLevel agency account.

Through MarketerM8, you get your own HighLevel account without having to become a HighLevel agency yourself.

More importantly, you have someone to help you work out how HighLevel should actually be used within your business.

HighLevel Software Is Only Part of the Answer

This is where I think many businesses get HighLevel wrong.

HighLevel is incredibly powerful, but access to more features doesn’t automatically produce better marketing or better business systems.

I’ve seen businesses with sophisticated CRM systems that they barely use. I’ve also seen businesses create so much automation that nobody really understands what’s happening anymore.

My approach is to start with the business.

  • What happens when someone makes an enquiry?
  • Who follows it up?
  • How are sales opportunities tracked?
  • What happens when somebody doesn’t answer the phone?
  • How are appointments booked and reminded?
  • How do you keep in touch with prospects who aren’t ready to buy today?
  • How do you generate more reviews?
  • What repetitive administration could be automated?

Once we understand those processes, we can decide how HighLevel should support them.

Why Buy HighLevel Through MarketerM8?

I’m Julian Mills, and I’ve worked in direct marketing since 1996 and professionally with CRM and marketing automation systems since 2009.

Today I specialise in helping businesses implement and get more from HighLevel.

That experience matters because HighLevel isn’t simply an email marketing platform or a CRM. It can sit at the centre of your sales and marketing operation.

My approach is therefore Done With You, rather than simply giving you a login and leaving you to figure everything out yourself.

You retain control of your system and learn how it works, while having experienced help available when you need it.

UK HighLevel Onboarding

When you join MarketerM8, we can help you get the foundations of your HighLevel account configured correctly.

  • Sending domain
  • Branded links
  • Users
  • Calendars
  • Email connections
  • Phone numbers
  • Mobile app
  • Email signatures
  • Basic account configuration

From there, we can help you decide what to tackle next.

For one business that might be a sales pipeline. For another it could be automated appointment reminders, missed-call text back, WhatsApp, review requests or Voice AI answering incoming calls.

The objective isn’t to switch everything on.

It’s to identify the parts of HighLevel that will make the biggest difference to your business and implement them sensibly.

Learn HighLevel with Live Weekly Workshops

MarketerM8 customers can also attend our live weekly HighLevel workshops.

Rather than trying to learn everything from YouTube videos or documentation, you can see individual parts of HighLevel demonstrated and ask questions.

Topics include:

  • HighLevel foundations
  • Email marketing
  • Calendars
  • Sales pipelines and opportunities
  • Workflows and automation
  • Contact and database management
  • Forms, surveys and quizzes
  • Websites and funnels
  • Reviews and social media
  • Courses and communities
  • Ecommerce
  • Advertising
  • HighLevel AI

The workshops help you progressively understand what HighLevel can do and identify useful ideas for your own business.

HighLevel for UK Businesses

Although HighLevel was developed in the United States, it works perfectly for UK businesses.

You can use HighLevel with UK phone numbers, email, SMS, online payments and other communication channels.

WhatsApp can also be integrated into HighLevel, allowing conversations to be managed alongside your other customer communications.

This means HighLevel can become the central place where your team manages conversations with prospects and customers across multiple channels.

HighLevel AI and Voice AI

HighLevel is also becoming much more than a traditional CRM.

Its AI tools can help businesses automate conversations and routine tasks.

One particularly interesting development is Voice AI.

A HighLevel Voice AI agent can act as a virtual receptionist, answering incoming calls when your team is unavailable.

It can answer common questions, collect information, qualify callers, book appointments and route enquiries.

For businesses where staff are frequently out on jobs, in meetings or simply unable to answer every incoming call, this can be particularly useful.

Do You Need Help Implementing HighLevel?

Some businesses are happy to configure HighLevel themselves. Others want help.

That’s why MarketerM8 separates the software from consultancy.

You can use HighLevel through MarketerM8 and do most of the work yourself, or you can bring me in to help plan, configure and implement more advanced parts of the system.

This could include:

  • CRM and sales pipeline design
  • Workflow automation
  • Database migration
  • Lead nurturing
  • Forms and funnels
  • Integrations
  • AI and Voice AI
  • Business process automation

You aren’t forced into a large implementation project simply because you want to use HighLevel.
