### "All inclusive marketing software"

February 12, 2026

5.0

Overall, we have been pretty happy with how go high-level as allowed us to automate so much of the marketing in our chiropractic Practice

Pros

The functions seem unlimited. There’s so much you can do to grow and manage your business in this one platform.

Cons

Because there’s so much that you can do with this software, there is a large learning curve. Implementation takes quite a while because of the complex complexity

### "GHL Automation and Marketing"

December 1, 2025

5.0

Great, could be better, but for our agency it's done wonders. Once you get the hang of it, it will be easier, but important to learn how to use it.

Pros

We use it to provide extra value for our clients and help them with marketing automation and customer relationship management, with omni-channel integration between whatsapp Business API,Meta, Email and possibility of adding automations for our clients to automate processes such as new lead flows.

Cons

The problem with GoHighLevel comes at the expense of certain things, such as you providing a sub account to a client, you become their software provider as well, which means you will have to take care of certain technical things as set up, building workflows, training AI. Has a learning curve and is a little bit slow.

### "Veritable Swiss Army Knife of Automation, AI, and Business Marketing Tools"

June 6, 2026

4.0

Overall experience has been excellent. I would highly recommend this product especially if you are looking to automate your nurture and customer follow-up sequences and if you are an agency looking to help other businesses.

Pros

It is a very effective Swiss Army knife of business tools for: - leads - marketing - value for money - appointment and booking management - AI conversations and receptionists or employees - Bootcamp with 30-day trial https://www.gohighlevel.com/highlevel-bootcamp?fp\_ref=discount-offer

Cons

It can seem overwhelming with all the different options and complexity of each of the options. Once you get used to it, it's amazing but before that it can be an uphill battle to get everything just right.

### "Be Aware! Read This Review First - $100K + per month on Kajabi $0 on HighLevel"

November 3, 2024

1.0

I'm currently using Kajabi for various projects, and I wanted to give GHL a shot because it's receiving a lot of attention via their affiliates who are strongly incentivized to promote the product because they earn money doing so. I ended up joining at ther $497 level, with real motivation to not only build out a course but also earn on the software side by connecting my students to built out done for you snapshots for their own businesses. This was much more of an undertaking that I estimated. Note that I am successful in the online course space, and live from this type of business currently. I ended up having to hire a team of people to build out the "agency" side, and could never get things working properly. I'd try to go into the platform myself to update things and would have to spend HOURS watching tutorials on how to do BASIC things. The platform is for computer programmers, not for marketers. Everything from creating a basic landing page sign up, to communities, to courses is SO SO SO complicated to set up, run and scale. Their business model is DO EVERYTHING, but DO NOTHING WELL. I'd say none of their product work to expectation, or even close. I've spent 10's of thousands of dollars trying to get this going but it's just a hopeless money pit. I would not recommend for anyone that does not have the budget to hire a staff of 10 to get the project going. I've ended up pulling the plug on the project, and feel relieved but also so annoyed that I wasted to much time and money learning this clunky platform thinking it was going to be a great solution for me.

Pros

The platform is inspiring, and instills a "you can do anything with GHL" mindset through all of their marketing channels. This mindset is about the only positive thing I can say about the platform.

Cons

Everything is overly complicated, clunky, poorly designed, glitched, and difficult to navigate. I can't say anything positive about my experience with GHL.

### "Easy to use/ A lot of different features"

April 20, 2026

5.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to set up automations for appointment reminders using a calendar set up in the same platform

Cons

It has a lot of features that I do not know how to use. I wish there was more of a guidance in there on how to use everything because it can sometimes seem overwhelming.

### "Great to sell to clients as an agency"

September 17, 2025

4.0

Overall is a great system to sell to clients if you are building funnels and email automations, they keep adding new features which keeps you up to date and has new ideas on what new services to provide to your clients (as an agency). It’s a great system for marketing agencies.

Pros

As an agency, it’s a good system to deliver to small size business clients. It can be used as a CRM, marketing automation, landing pages, SMS messages, AI chat. For our clients it’s a ve try easy to use system.

Cons

Building landing pages in this system is very annoying. It has very limited functions. The AI chat, it’s confusing to build and train. And setting up a phone number for SMS took us 5 weeks. It also lags sometimes.

### "Great Way To Contact and Stay In Touch With Your Leads"

May 12, 2025

4.0

Overall, working with high-level has been better than the other systems we used to use and has definitely improved our lead conversion rate

Pros

The best thing about high-level is the ability to customize it to whatever your use case is and design workflows to reach your leads in the most efficient way possible

Cons

The only frustrating part about high-level is sometimes the speed of the server can get slow, preventing me from making the kind of progress I want in a particular work session

5.0

Pros

Genuinely impressed. The HighLevel team have implemented a high quality product couple with a crazy high pace of innovation: certainly not an easy feat.

Very little. If I was being picky, their documentation could be improved for both clarity and findability.

### "HighLevel is a great value all-in-one CRM"

July 3, 2025

4.0

Generally good. I have used the software to manage client accounts, with a lot of features (CRM, landing pages, websites, SMS, email etc), at minimum extra cost to add on new clients.

Pros

HighLevel is one of the most versatile all-in-one CRM systems on the market giving marketers lots of functionality and features

Cons

The main issue that most marketers have with HighLevel is that it can be a bit buggy, and the company seem to focus on new features rather than optimizing existing ones.

### "Once you get past the complexity of the setup process you will love it!"

May 14, 2026

5.0

It’s was a good system, a bit more complex than I initially thought but overall once it was setup it worked great.

Pros

What I liked the most was being able to create different segments. I also love having different triggers within the software.

Cons

The complexity in the initial setup was a bit jarring at first. Thankfully I used a service like CGX to help me setting up for our business. They helped me take the guess work out of it.

### "HighLevel from a Sales CRM Perspective "

February 13, 2025

5.0

Used as a sales rep pipeline CRM. Was very easy to use after learning the software. Occasionally there were some connectivity issues between call lines, which I believe were powered by Ring Central at the time. Eventually that got sorted out and was seamless to operate on.

Pros

Ability to organize sales pipeline by progression of relationship, calendars to zoomlinks, and ability to have an integrated call out line from HighLevel.

Cons

It did take a little time to get used to the interface and to get customizations done to my liking. Aside from that its a wonderful service.

### "After years: The first truly impressive All-in-One Marketing Suite"

January 9, 2024

5.0

Pros

I just love that I can do everything I'd ever need to do in marketing for any business for a laughable price, for as many clients I want.

Cons

The complexity of High Level is not to be trifled with. While it's absolutely great just what you can do with it, especially as an agency with many marketing clients, the sheer amount of features and integrations means overwhelm if you don't really know what you're doing. Also, High Level seems to be the fastest Marketing Suite on the planet when integrating new features like AI, WhatsApp Messaging and more... yet, if you're even faster than they are, it's sometimes tricky to integrate your solutions to theirs.

### "Great tool for All in One Marketing Automation"

December 20, 2022

5.0

I am using GoHighLevel for more than a year now. I mostly sell SAAS access to clients and automate all my tasks and campaigns with GoHighLevel. It's a great tool to have that does 90% of your work with automation.

Pros

This is a 360 degree marketing tool that provides almost every possibilities you might be looking for in automation. From funnels to campaigns to triggers to reputation management, everything can be done with this single software.

Cons

So far the animation and CSS limitation are the only thing that I miss in GoHighLevel, everything else are just above perfect.

### "Worth your time to explore!"

January 31, 2022

5.0

I am the HighLevel administrator for multiple private schools who use it to build landing pages for social media campaigns, send free info kits, schedule open houses, send automated texts and open house reminders, take enrollment deposits, and send bulk emails and texts to specific segments of their contacts. Overall, the experience has been great, and I have recommended it to others.

Pros

HighLevel has a comprehensive onboarding program that is easy to follow. They have excellent customer support. The automated appointment scheduling and reminder campaigns are saving my clients tons of time. We love that we can combine calendars on one page so that from one location, potential clients can select the calendar for the campus they'd like to visit.

Cons

Most of their support "articles" are in the form of videos which can be helpful, but a transcript of the videos would be much appreciated when I don't want to watch a 12-minute video waiting for the 10-second part I really needed. The calendar system is set up for a business that is open on regular hours with consistent appointment lengths. We are having to use some work-arounds to block out dates on our open house calendars since the open houses are only a few times a month for varying days/times. I would love to see some more flexibility with the calendars.

November 15, 2022

4.0

This platform is something that not only will I use but they make it easy for me to get my clients onboard and help them as well.

Pros

The ease of use of this platform is night and day different from the previous platform I've used for over a decade. It's just simple to use!

Cons

Like every platform, there's a learning curve. There are a few things that I feel aren't as user-friendly as it should be but I know they are always working to make it better.

### "Completely Useless if you are locked out of your account for no reason"

June 15, 2024

1.0

SHOCKINGLY HORRIFIC. Lots of promises to fix my account that didn't work. All Broken Promises. So, if they can't get my account open and ready for me to work in it, how will they handle a REAL problem when it arises?

Pros

Worked great for 3 days, then it didn't work at all.

Cons

They kept promising me that my account was "fixed". I spent dozens of hours on phone with support because I did not want to lose the 25 hours of work. They kept promising me it is fixed now. Finally they had a PROGRAMMER diagnose and fix my account. Then worked for about 10 days, I put dozens of hours into my websites and back to the account being messed up again.

Reason for choosing HighLevel

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by many and was given a free 60-day trial that I never got to use.

### "Great Work In Progress"

March 3, 2020

4.0

We use this software to help our clients with their digital marketing. We use it for lead generation, booking appointments and managing reviews. It's great to be able to provide multiple functionalities in one tool for our clients. On their end, it's simple and gives them access to what they need (and what they don't). It's a great all-in-one tool. There's a learning curve but the customer service is great and they are adding new features all the time.

Pros

This software does it all! It's a fantastic software to put everything in one place and to simplify digital marketing. I love being able to copy things from one client to another client's location. It makes it easy to set up a system and duplicate it without duplicating the effort. It integrates with everything we need it to and it's a fantastic software.

Cons

It's still on the newer side, so new features are always being rolled out. It isn't always the most intuitive software and some of the features are a bit lacking because it's new. I look forward to seeing what they come up with in the future.

Hi Robert, thank you for the feedback, I completely agree with you, we do have a lot of features in one place and that does make things more powerful, but also harder to learn and get going. We're in the process now of hiring additional support staff to help new customers onboard onto the software and provide more one on one setup help to get you off and running right. I really appreciate you giving us your honest feedback because it helps us improve and make a better product for everyone!

So far my experience has been fantastic. great product. Easy to setup. Tons of features. Amazing team

Pros

I love how they've focused on the needs of marketing agencies and are building a platform specifically for my needs. And they have the best customer support I've ever experienced. Blows any other company out of the water with how fast they respond and fix and problems you find.

Cons

Hard to find anything I don't like... but I would say that the email marketing options are a bit limited and not robust enough for me to switch from my Email marketing software
