Whether as a coach, agency owner, real estate professional, or e-commerce entrepreneur, setting up a lead funnel in GoHighLevel will prove to be one of the smartest investments.
In this guide, we’ll walk through how to create a high-performing lead capture funnel. One that actually converts, without the confusion or complexity many tools require.
Understanding What a Lead Capture Funnel Really Does
Before you build your funnel? It's important to understand what it's supposed to accomplish. Essentially a guided customer journey that begins with attention and works its way down to action. It helps you send the right message to the right person at the ideal moment.
In GoHighLevel, this typically consists of a landing page to capture interest. A form or survey that captures information about the visitor. And an automation sequence that nurtures those leads until they're ready to buy. Instead of chasing prospects or manually following up? Your funnel works in the background, creating predictable growth and freeing up your time.
Setting Up Your Funnel Structure Inside GoHighLevel
Once you log in to your GHL dashboard, click the "Sites" section, then click Funnel Builder. Here, you are going to set up all of your funnel pages. Start by creating a simple structure. A landing page and a thank-you page. Optionally? An upsell or booking page if your offer calls for it.
GoHighLevel's drag-and-drop page editor is super intuitive. You can customize layouts, add in your own branding. Embed videos and more with no coding required. If you are in a rush? You can simply select one of their pre-designed templates. And customize it to fit your offer and branding.
Your landing page is all about one thing. The message. Open with a bold headline that plainly communicates your value. Layer in clear, benefit-packed copy that shows exactly what the visitor gains by sharing their details. In a crowded, noisy landscape, clarity and relevance will always win.
Creating a High-Converting Lead Capture Form
The next piece in your funnel is the form that captures lead information. In the Forms builder, create a new form and add only those fields that ask for what's necessary. In the majority of funnels, this is a name and an email address. If you request too much data initially? You'll cut your conversions, so keep it as simple as possible unless your offer requires more robust qualification.
GoHighLevel allows you to enable double opt-in, tag contacts, drop them into your CRM, and kick off automations the moment a form is submitted. That's when your funnel stops being just a page and actually becomes a system in itself.
Once your form is ready? Embed it in your landing page through the editor. Make sure it’s placed above the fold and accompanied by a strong call-to-action button that stands out visually.
Connecting Your CRM and Automation Workflows
Once you have captured leads, the next move is to handle and nurture them well. GoHighLevel's CRM automatically saves every lead that comes through your funnel. You can segment contacts, assign pipeline stages, and track where each prospect is in the buyer's journey from there.
Use the Workflows builder to automate your follow-up. This is where the real magic is. Where you can set up automated sequences that send welcome emails. Fire off SMS alerts, assign tasks to teammates, and even shuttle leads between pipelines, all without lifting a finger.
A very simple lead-capture funnel starts with a friendly welcome message. Be followed up in several hours by a gentle follow-up in a day or two. And conclude with a direct invitation to act. Invite them to book a call or check your offer. Move your prospect through with a friendly and engaging sequence that builds rapport and makes them take the next step.
Optimizing Your Funnel for Maximum Conversions
True growth comes from ongoing optimization. GoHighLevel features built-in analytics that show page visits. Form completions and where users drop off.
Here are some elements to check. Is the headline clear? Are the labels on buttons precise? Does the page layout feel right? How fast does the page load? And is the length of the form reasonable? Even minor adjustments can trigger a big boost in conversions. Also double-check your follow-up messages to ensure they read as timely, relevant, and aligned with your brand voice.
A well-optimized funnel becomes more than a marketing asset, it becomes an engine of predictable revenue.
