What is a GoHighlevel Blog?
GoHighlevel has built a new blog feature that can be attached to a website or funnel within the platform. Let’s take a look at how to use it.
What is GoHighlevel/Highlevel?
GoHighlevel, or just Highlevel as its users call it, is an all-in-one sales and marketing platform for marketing agencies and small businesses. The GoHighlevel platform offers every tool needed to run a business successfully at a fixed monthly cost. The GoHighlevel platform allows you to Whitelabel their software so agencies can use this platform and brand it like it was their own. This allows agencies to create a Software as a Service (SaaS) business and an additional monthly recurring revenue stream.
Typically, agencies would perform a job for their client, like building a website or running Facebook ads, only to have the job end or the client cancel their service. Now, agencies have to continue to market to find another client. Now, with GoHighlevel, you can migrate your clients off whatever CRM, email marketing tool, phone system, or funnel software they may be using and run their business entirely off the GoHighlevel platform. The best thing about this is that your clients pay you monthly for these services. You can charge $297, $497, or whatever you want to charge for these services, and your client continues to pay for these each month like a utility, creating a stable recurring monthly revenue.
GoHighlevel sets no limits for its users on any paid plan so that you can have unlimited contacts, websites, funnels, email or text templates, and workflows. There are also no limits for storage, so you can host as many videos, files, documents, or images as you or your clients may have.

Blog Terminology
I wanted to define a few terms here so that this post is consistent with its terminology.
- Blog – A website operated by an individual or group consisting of posts on a particular topic, typically involving the same Genre.
- Blogging – This is creating a blog post and sharing that content on the blog website.
- Blog Post – An individual article written on a specific subject to educate or entertain the reader.
Purpose of a Blog?
Blogging has been around since the beginning of the Internet. Platforms like WordPress, a widely used blog post editor, have made it easy for even novice writers to create blog posts. There are several reasons why people use Blogs. In the beginning, it was simple to share people’s personal experiences with others. People began using their blog pages to make money as the internet grew and matured.
There are several ways to make money today using a blog. A standard method people use today is affiliate marketing. When looking to buy something, they often use Google search to ask, “What is the best video camera for mountain biking?” or “What is the best mountain bike.” These searches will always return results from a blog where someone has posted about that topic.
The post will typically contain a comparison of the product being searched for as well as the pros and cons of the product as well. Its purpose is to educate the reader on these products. The post will also contain links for the reader to purchase these products. When the reader uses these links to purchase a product, the person who wrote the post gets a commission for the product’s sale.
GoHighlevel Blog Options
GoHighlevel software platform offers its users two options for implementing a blog. They are using the built-in website feature or a hosted WordPress website.
Built-in Website Feature
GoHighlevel has a feature that allows its users to create an unlimited number of websites. The website hosting is included with the price of the platform. You can connect the blog feature with any website on the platform.
To create a new blog post, click the button to get started.
You need a blog title, a featured image, and a short post description to start.
You can then use the blog post editor to create your post.
Once your post is written, you need to finish the post by providing the URL for the post, a category, and any SEO keywords for the post, add your author information, and choose whether to save it as a draft, publish, or even schedule the post for another date.
The blog feature also offers you a dashboard that shows a list of all your posts, the status of each, and the number of visitors you have had to your blog site.
Hosted WordPress Site
WordPress is the largest website and blog platform in the world today. GoHighlevel has included hosting a WordPress website from within the GoHighlevel platform. WordPress has several advantages over GoHighlevel standard website features since WordPress can use plugins to extend the features.
The hosted WordPress feature offers you the same WordPress dashboard you may be used to. You can add themes and plugins to your site to give it the necessary functionality.
Once in the dashboard, you can create your blog page and add posts.
