GoHighLevel Review:
The "ClickFunnels Killer"?

If you are a marketing agency or a small business owner, your "Tech Stack" probably looks like a mess. You have one login for your CRM, another for email marketing, another for your calendar, and another for your landing pages.

GoHighLevel (often just called "HighLevel") was built to solve this specific problem. It aggregates every tool an agency needs into one dashboard.

But does it actually work well? Or is it a "Jack of all trades, master of none"? In this review, we break down the critical features.

1. Workflow Automation (The Real Power)

The heart of HighLevel is the "Workflows" engine. This replaces tools like Zapier and ActiveCampaign.

Imagine this scenario: A lead fills out a form on your website. Within seconds, HighLevel can automatically:

• Send them a text message (SMS).
• Send them an email with a booking link.
• Drop a "Ringless Voicemail" to their phone.
• Add them to your sales pipeline.

The SMS Automation features alone are worth the price of admission. Open rates on SMS are 98% compared to 20% for email, making this a massive conversion booster.

2. The "SaaS Mode" & White Labeling

This is the feature that separates HighLevel from HubSpot or Salesforce. It allows you to be the vendor.

On the Agency Unlimited Plan ($297/mo) or the SaaS Plan ($497/mo), you can remove all HighLevel branding. You upload your agency's logo, connect your domain (e.g., app.myagency.com), and resell access to your clients.

3. Reputation Management

Local businesses live and die by Google Reviews. HighLevel has a built-in Reputation Management tool that automatically sends "Review Requests" to customers via SMS after an appointment.

We found this to be one of the easiest services to sell to local clients (Dentists, Gyms, Plumbers) because they can instantly see the ROI when their 5-star rating goes up.

4. The Learning Curve (The Honest Truth)

We won't lie to you: GoHighLevel is a beast. When you first log in, it can be overwhelming. There are menus for "Conversations," "Calendars," "Contacts," "Opportunities," "Sites," and "Automation."

However, HighLevel uses a system called "Snapshots." These are pre-built templates for specific industries.

For example, if you sign up a Dentist client, you can load the "Dentist Snapshot." It instantly builds the landing pages, writes the email sequences, and sets up the calendar specifically for a dental practice. This cuts the setup time from weeks to minutes.

Pro Tip: We strongly recommend using the 30-Day Extended Trial instead of the standard 14-day trial. You will need that extra time to watch the training videos and set up your first Snapshot.
