Ive been researching a little about this and found that ghl provides all in one package. I just wanna ask that if i give myself a learning curve of 60-90 days, will i be able to do something with it or is this also some overly saturated place filled with course selling gurus? Are there people who recently started this and actually founded some clients?

If it really has potential, as a beginner what are the dos and donts which i should take care of as a complete beginner? And what should be my focus and priority initially?

I am a bit overwhelmed with the updates GHL ship on a daily. It becomes uneasy to keep up to date with the latest updates and information.

Curious to know how you guys keep up to date with the updates especially for creators and agency owners.

Not looking for someone to try something for a week. I want someone who's actually good at what they do, has the mindset to push through slow months, and wants to grow together. You handle fulfillment. I focus on getting clients and filling your calendar. If that sounds like you — DM me. If you're not serious, don't bother.

Hey Guys, need suggestions and most probably a guidance

Hey everyone,

I’d really appreciate some guidance regarding a deliverability situation I’m currently helping a client through inside GHL.

Here’s the full situation:

My client recently migrated from Kartra to GoHighLevel for email sending.

Previously, emails were being sent from:
name@domain.com

Now GHL has her configured to send from a subdomain (LeadConnecter):
name@lc.domian.com

Since the migration, inbox placement has dropped significantly and most emails are now landing in Promotions or Spam, with recent open rates dropping as low as 5%.

Current setup/details:

• SPF = passing
• DKIM = passing
• DMARC record now exists but currently set to p=none
• Domain is NOT blacklisted according to MXToolbox
• List size is relatively small (around 1200–1300 contacts)
• Sending volume is low/moderate
• We’ve started switching to short plain-text conversational emails
• We are warming gradually in smaller batches
• No aggressive promotions currently
• Root domain had historical deliverability inconsistencies before migration as well

A few things I’m trying to understand from experienced GHL users:

1. Is switching from the root domain to a new subdomain inside GHL enough to effectively reset sender reputation in Gmail’s eyes?
2. Would you recommend continuing with the subdomain long-term, or would you instead recommend warming the root domain properly and sending directly from there?
3. How much of an impact does GHL’s shared sending infrastructure typically have on inbox placement?
4. Would connecting a dedicated SMTP provider like Mailgun or SendGrid significantly improve deliverability in this scenario?
5. At what stage would you recommend moving DMARC from p=none to quarantine/reject?
6. Would you temporarily disable click tracking/open tracking during the warm-up/reputation rebuilding phase?
7. Roughly how long would you expect proper inbox trust rebuilding to take in a situation like this assuming:

• gradual warm-up
• engaged segments only
• reply-driven sends
• low complaint rates
• clean authentication

The goal right now is not scaling volume aggressively.

The goal is:

• recovering inbox placement
• rebuilding sender reputation
• and getting stable primary inbox delivery again before resuming regular promotional/workshop emails.

Would really appreciate any guidance from people who’ve dealt with similar GHL migration/reputation issues before.

Thank you!

Searching for a CRM setup suited to a solo buyers agent and finding the options surprisingly limited.

Most of what I've come across is heavily customised Zoho builds — nobody seems to want to do this in GHL. The free snapshot on GHL Marketplace is bare bones and generic; it doesn't account for the actual workflow a buyers agent runs.

My client is a solo operator at the moment. Her communications are scattered across multiple channels with no real system holding it together. I'm exploring whether GHL can be the right infrastructure here, or whether it's the wrong tool for this niche entirely.

Specifically looking for:

• Any GHL snapshot built for Australian real estate (buyers agent focus, not sales agent)
• Agencies or operators who've built this out and are willing to share or sell
• Honest feedback on whether GHL is the right fit here at all, or if there's a better CRM solution for this use case

Happy to hear from anyone who's built something similar or gone through this process.

Hey!

I have never used GHL and have a question…

I am in the process of starting a “digital product” business and would love your opinions on whether or not GHL is the right tool for me…

…it’s not really pushed as a “digital product” selling tool, but appears to have everything needed to sell digital products successfully.

The reasons I’m considering GHL are:

- my digital products are geared towards digital marketing and AI automation services (I have some experience in the agency space)

- knowing the ins and outs of GHL can be valuable for helping me decide which digital products to create

- using it presents a huge opportunity to become a successful GHL affiliate and/or SaaS provider on the backend

- knowing how to use it for my digital products will automatically set me up to easily use it for any “agency services” I decide to provide going forward

Do you think GHL is worth the time & investment for me?

Is there anything I should be warned about when using it mostly to sell “digital products”?

Thank you!

I see a bunch of gurus now on this like for ex. That dweeb kai stone , saying its easy just get to dialing and paying for ads etc.

Sorry if I seem upset , but maybe cause im late to the party, but I was researching and was planning to start my own white label agency using GHL features , but is it worth it nowadays or its overly saturated?

I’m currently building a consumer iOS app called Percivo.
The idea is simple: instead of giving people generic book summaries, Percivo helps users extract insights from books based on their own context, goals, or “lens.”
I’m exploring whether GoHighLevel can be useful beyond agencies/local businesses, specifically for a mobile app funnel.
What I’m thinking:
landing page for paid ads
email/SMS follow-up after signup
onboarding sequence
abandoned trial/payment recovery
user segmentation based on interests
maybe a simple CRM for creators/partners later
Has anyone here used GHL for a B2C app or subscription product, not just agency clients?
Curious if it’s worth building the funnel inside GHL, or if it becomes messy once the product is mainly App Store / RevenueCat based.

Hey everyone! I'm looking for an internship.

Has anyone here ever taken on an intern just to help them get back on their feet with GHL?

About 6 months ago, I invested in a course from a well-known GHL ambassador here in the Philippines and grinded hard enough to become Admin Certified. It felt like a real turning point for me.

But life happened. A lot of personal stuff piled up and I had to step away. Now that things are settling down, I want to get back into GHL — except I'm in a tough spot financially and can't afford a subscription just to practice and relearn on my own.

I'm wondering if interning under an agency or freelancer is even a realistic path here? I'm not looking for pay — just access to a real environment so I can rebuild my hands-on knowledge of workflows, pipelines, automations, snapshots, and the whole architecture.

Has anyone done this before, either as the intern or the one who took someone in? Would love to hear how it went or any advice on how to find this kind of arrangement.

Thanks for reading 🙏

Spent way too long onboarding clients manually before finally building this out properly.

The basic flow that works:

• Contract signed → workflow triggers automatically
• Welcome email + intake form goes out instantly
• Form responses map directly to CRM fields
• Kickoff call booked without a single back and forth
• Team gets an internal notification with full context

First impression for the client is seamless. Zero manual work on our end.

GHL handles all of it natively no Zapier, no extra tools.

Anyone else built this out?

Feels like there is a huge difference between basic GHL setups and agency systems that feel really polished. Curious what actually made the biggest difference for you

Trying to figure something out in GoHighLevel.

I’m sending personalized mortgage quote images to contacts through a workflow, but every time it sends, it shows up as a link instead of the actual JPEG/image.

I want each contact to get their own custom quote image automatically without having to click a link to view it.

Is there a way to have the image actually display in the text/email through automations? Or is GHL only able to send image URLs?

Deep down, we know the coaching industry is a bit fishy right?

How long are we going to pretend like these smug coaches from Miami are running legit businesses.

Without fail, they ALL have bad reviews on trust pilot.

So let’s be honest with ourselves even if some of you are coaches.

It’s a bit gray area right?

Hello!

We are currently building a setup for our cold outreach.

1 domain for sending outreach
1 sub domain for sending transactional emails
1 sub domain for reports/assessments from funnels

What's the best approach here? Should we purchase email domains through Google Workspace or from different platform? and connect them to GHL, or is it better to operate directly through GHL mail services?

We're planning to send out high volume outreach. Thank you!

I’ve been using GHL for around 6 months now for outreach + automations, and honestly… parts of it still feel weirdly unpolished.

The workflows themselves are fine, but the overall client experience feels fragmented:

• calendar invites look disconnected
• email notifications feel generic
• branding isn’t fully consistent
• some emails land in Promotions
• Workspace + GHL don’t feel truly synced

Then I look at bigger agencies and somehow everything feels seamless:

• cleaner deliverability
• properly branded notifications
• better inbox placement
• unified domains/subdomains
• polished backend systems

It almost feels like there’s some “infrastructure layer” nobody talks about publicly.

I’m starting to wonder if the difference is less about GHL itself and more about how the backend is configured:

• Google Workspace setup
• DNS/authentication
• sending domains
• white-label structure
• CRM syncing
• tracking domains
• Outlook/Gmail reputation

For those running larger agency setups:
what actually made things start feeling “premium” instead of DIY?

Would genuinely love to know what changed the game for you.

Been deep in GHL for a while now and the amount of stuff that goes unused is wild.

A few that actually make a difference in day-to-day operations:

• Custom Values : if you're still hardcoding client details into workflows, you're creating a maintenance nightmare
• "Go To" action in workflows : loop your logic instead of duplicating branches. Cleaner and easier to debug
• Inbound Webhooks as triggers : skip Zapier for a lot of use cases. Direct integrations, fewer failure points
• Conversation email threading : replies to outbound emails come back into GHL conversations automatically. Underused for client comms tracking

Curious what others have found. What's something in GHL you wish more people actually used?

I build AI automations. (This is not me offering my services)

And I've built with plenty of other CRMs, but not Go High Level, and I'm seeing that there's a lot of need for Go High Level specific automations.

I was wondering if anyone with an existing Go High Level instance, even the $97 starter plan, would be willing to give me private access in my own sub-account that doesn't touch your main workspace?

I can play around with automating things and, in return, can build something simple and useful that automates your Go High Level. Here are a couple of things I've done with other CRMs:

• CRM rehydration
• AI-powered outbound emails
• Lead scraping to cold email campaigns
• CRM Data cleanup and deduplication

Open to any suggestions on this, just looking to get experience and a win-win with someone who already has GHL, otherwise I'd just have to buy it myself.

Thanks

I'm a small health coaching business and I need this for myself. I'm not an agency. However, I do help my wife setup her Mortgage brokerage business using GHL. I will give tasks to this person to help her do that too.

Regarding compensation, I'm looking for someone who is excellent value for money. Not cheap and nasty, and not a super high end GHL guru who charges a bomb for every small request. Someone with a abundance mindset who is looking to work and collaborate in the long term and to grow with me.

Can you give me some referrals?
