SMS Isn’t Dead. It’s Your Fastest Path to Instant Engagement
Let’s be real: email inboxes are overflowing. The average person gets over 100 emails a day… and ignores most of them.
But texts? That’s a different story.
98% of text messages get opened. 90% are read within 3 minutes.
If you’re not using SMS in your marketing, you’re leaving money (and connection) on the table.
With GoHighLevel, you can:
- Send automatic texts to confirm bookings, follow up with leads, or share time-sensitive promos.
- Use a dedicated business number for just $1.15/month and yes, it’s already A2P compliant.
- Personalize messages based on actions people take (or don’t take).
It’s not about spamming. It’s about smart, timely, human connection.
Stripe = Get Paid, Stress-Free
Late payments. Abandoned checkouts. Forgotten invoices.
Nothing stalls your growth like money that’s almost in the bank, but not in the bank.
Here’s the painful stat:
87% of customers cancel when checkout feels clunky.
Even loyal clients will ghost if paying you feels like a chore.
But GoHighLevel + Stripe changes that.
With just a few clicks, you can:
- Accept credit cards, Apple Pay, and recurring payments
- Offer “Pay-in-4” plans to boost conversions by 20%+
- Automate failed payment retries (so you don’t have to chase)
💡 Want to look polished and get paid faster? Let Stripe do the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
Reactivate Old Leads! There's Gold in That List
You paid for the leads. You worked hard to attract them. But after a couple of follow-ups, they went cold… and you moved on.
Big mistake.
80% of sales happen after the fifth touchpoint, yet most businesses give up after two.
What does that mean for you?
There’s likely money sitting in your CRM right now, just waiting for a nudge.
With GoHighLevel, reactivating those old leads becomes effortless, and it costs way less than chasing new ones.
Here’s the play:
- Segment your list: Find contacts who haven’t opened or clicked in 90+ days.
- Send value first: A short email with a gift, insight, or offer.
- Follow up: A friendly text reminder or a quick voice/video note can make all the difference.
- Automate it: Use GHL workflows to build this as a reactivation sequence that runs every quarter.
💡 Old leads aren’t dead leads. They just need a reason to say yes again.
Never Miss a DM Again. Meet the Unified Inbox
These days, nobody wants to hop on a phone call anymore. Your audience would much rather DM you on Instagram or shoot a quick message on Facebook.
And here’s why it matters:
📲 Instagram DMs have an 88% open rate (way higher than email.)
But most businesses drop the ball here. Why?
Because juggling messages across platforms is chaotic.
GoHighLevel’s unified inbox changes that.
It pulls together all your convos from IG, FB Messenger, SMS, email, and even your site chat widget into one clean, manageable dashboard.
You can:
- Set up auto-responses for FAQs like “What’s your pricing?” or “Do you offer X?”
- Assign chats to the right team member with smart routing
- Monitor response times to ensure no message gets missed
💡 This isn’t just about responding faster. It’s about showing up where your audience is already talking.
Stop Wasting Ad Spend. Run Smarter Ads That Actually Convert
Running ads without a strategy is like pouring water into a leaky bucket.
💸 Over 30% of ad budgets go to waste because of poor targeting or zero follow-up.
That’s where GoHighLevel’s Ad Manager steps in.
It connects your Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads directly to your CRM, so every lead flows into your funnel — and no one slips through the cracks.
Here’s what you get:
- One-click ad templates optimized by AI
- Smart audience targeting
- Automatic lead capture + follow-up workflows
No more spreadsheets. No more wondering where your leads went.
Just clear data, automated nurture, and better ROI.
💡 If you’re running ads without connecting them to your sales system, you’re leaving money on the table.
Show Up Consistently (Even on Busy Weeks)
You already know showing up online builds trust. But content creation?
It eats up time, especially when you’re juggling clients, launches, and inbox chaos.
Here’s the good news:
Posting just 3x a week can double your engagement if you can stay consistent.
Gohighlevel’s Social Planner helps you:
- Generate post ideas tailored to your niche
- Write captions (with hashtags) that actually get seen
- Schedule across platforms — when your audience is most active
- Recycle your top-performing content to keep momentum rolling
💡 Think of it as your virtual content assistant minus the stress, guesswork, and burnout.
Mobile App: Run Your Business on the Go
The reality? Business doesn’t stop when you leave your laptop/desktop.
With over 60% of customer inquiries coming after traditional work hours, your ability to respond quickly can be the difference between a new client and a missed opportunity.
GoHighLevel’s mobile app puts your business in your pocket:
- Check pipelines and update deals
- Reply to DMs, texts, emails. All in one app
- Stay in control, wherever you are
And if you’re an agency?
You can white-label the app, so your clients get a custom-branded experience, boosting loyalty and retention.
💡 Because freedom should be part of the business model, not just the dream.
Meet Your 24/7 Sales Rep (Powered by AI)
Today’s buyers don’t wait around.
📉 Over 50% will bounce if they don’t get fast answers.
But hiring a round-the-clock support team? Not realistic for most small businesses.
That’s where GoHighLevel’s Conversation AI steps in.
It acts as your virtual sales assistant 24/7.
It can:
- Answer FAQs
- Qualify leads before they reach your team
- Book calls straight to your calendar
- Learn and adapt to your brand’s tone over time
And if you’re not ready for full automation?
Start with Suggestive Mode, where the AI drafts replies for human review before sending.
💡 It’s like having a junior sales rep on standby without the overhead.
QR Codes: Turn Offline Attention Into Digital Action
Once a gimmick, but now QR codes are now a core part of smart marketing.
📱 86% of smartphone users have scanned a QR code at least once.
That’s a huge opportunity to turn real-world attention into digital results.
GoHighLevel makes it easy:
- Create dynamic QR codes that link to landing pages, SMS opt-ins, payment portals, or calendars
- Update the destination anytime, no need to reprint
- Track scan rates and conversions with built-in analytics
Use them for:
- Menus, product info, or event check-ins
- Business cards and flyers
- Receipts with “Text to Get 10% Off” offers
💡 It’s the simplest way to turn offline traffic into leads, bookings, and long-term subscribers.
Never Lose a Lead Again. Map Every Step With Forms + Pipelines
Here’s a painful truth:
📉 Most leads don’t slip away because they’re not interested, they vanish because no one followed up.
The culprit? Clunky CRMs or form systems that don’t talk to your sales process.
GoHighLevel fixes that with:
- Clean, drag-and-drop forms you can build in minutes
- Smart conditional logic (show/hide fields based on answers)
- Automatic syncing into visual sales pipelines so you see exactly where each lead is in your flow
💡 From click to closed deal, you’ll never wonder “what happened to that lead?” again.
Convert Visitors in Real Time with a Smart Chat Widget
Live chat isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a conversion tool.
📊 40% more people convert when live chat is available, and 73% prefer it over other support options.
But here’s the catch: most businesses don’t use it well.
GoHighLevel’s chat widget fixes that.
It installs in seconds and works silently in the background, using smart triggers to:
- Start a convo when someone lingers on your pricing page
- Capture contact info even if no message is sent
- Fire off “exit intent” messages before they bounce
💡 Want to take it up a notch? Use a “Discount Trigger”, a limited-time offer that pops up when someone hesitates. It’s a simple way to turn browsers into buyers.
The Real Magic? Stacking These Wins into a Seamless System
Every tool you’ve seen so far can stand on its own, but when you connect them, that’s when real growth happens.
