What it replaces

One account instead of a stack of tools that don't talk to each other

Many small teams run leads through a form tool, a CRM, an email app, a texting app, a booking page and a review tool, then copy data between them. HighLevel does these jobs inside one account, so every call, text and email lands on the same contact record.

CRM and pipelines

Every lead's calls, texts and emails on one record, with deal stages you drag and drop.

Websites, funnels and forms

Landing pages, funnels, forms and surveys without a separate site builder.

Email and SMS

Campaigns and two-way texting from the same inbox your team works in.

Calendars

Booking pages and reminders that write appointments straight into the CRM.

Reviews

Automatic review requests, and replies to Google reviews from one place.

Automations

Workflows that follow up, assign leads and move deals while you're busy.

AI employee (add-on)

An optional add-on that answers calls and chats around the clock, qualifies leads and books appointments.

Is it a good fit?

Who it's for, and who should skip it

A good fit if you are

  • A marketing agency that handles leads, follow-up and reporting for local businesses.
  • A service business that lives on calls, bookings and reviews: clinics, home services, coaches, studios.
  • An agency that wants to give clients one branded login instead of five different tools.

Probably not a fit if

  • You only need email newsletters or a simple website. A dedicated tool may be simpler and cheaper.
  • You run a large sales team that needs enterprise forecasting and quoting.
  • You can't set aside a few hours for setup. HighLevel does a lot, so plan for onboarding.

From an ads agency

Five things to set up in your first week

BERK Labs is a Google Ads agency, and we run ads and tracking for businesses whose CRM is built on HighLevel. These settings decide whether your ad leads arrive with the right source, so you can see what's working.

  1. Capture the source on every pageUse HighLevel's own forms, or install its external tracking script on every page of your site, or the ad source can be lost.
  2. Tag ads the way HighLevel reads themHighLevel files a visit as Paid Search when it sees a click ID such as gclid or utm_source=adwords. Other UTMs only count as paid with a google.com referrer, so use utm_source=adwords.
  3. Track calls with a number poolHighLevel files calls under Others unless they come through a number pool, which records the source and keyword.
  4. Send results back to Google AdsThe Add to Google Ads workflow action uploads leads and sales as offline conversions, so Google can optimize toward real customers instead of clicks.
  5. Register for texting before you sendTexting US contacts from a local number requires A2P 10DLC registration. Start it on day one, because approval takes time.
