How to Migrate from LinkTree to GoHighLevel (Step-by-Step Guide)

Moving beyond LinkTree with GoHighLevel.

LinkTree is fine for putting all your links in one place, but GoHighLevel gives you complete funnel creation, automation, a CRM, and marketing tools to help turn website visits into leads and sales.

Migration from LinkTree to GoHighLevel might seem tricky, but it's pretty simple once you know how. This guide will walk you through the process, step by step, so you can build a strong, branded landing page that actually converts visitors.

Why Switch from LinkTree to GoHighLevel?

Before we get into how to move, let's quickly talk about why creators, marketers, and businesses are switching.

1. Total Customization: GoHighLevel lets you build landing pages that completely match your brand. You get to control everything – layouts, colors, fonts, and what it does.
2. Cool Marketing Tools: GoHighLevel is a serious marketing tool with automation, funnels, email stuff, text message marketing, and even a customer management system.
3. Capture Leads and Convert Them into Customers. Calendars, forms, and exclusive offers can all be placed directly on your page with GHL. Instead of sending them somewhere else, you take their information and start building a relationship right away.
4. Tracking and Stats: GoHighLevel gives you good analytics to see how your campaigns are doing – conversions, leads, and overall performance. It's much better than the basic stats LinkTree gives you.
5. Step 1: Prepareṣ Your LinkTree Links

Okay, first things first: see what you've already got. Head to your LinkTree dashboard and write down all the links you're using now. You can download them or copy them into a spreadsheet. This will allow you to later improve or recreate them in GoHighLevel.

Step 2: Set Up Your GoHighLevel Account

Once inside the GHL dashboard? Become acquainted with the following important areas:

• Create your new LinkTree-style page under Websites and Funnels.
• Contacts: So, your lead tracking CRM is integrated.
• Workflows and Automations: To nurture leads automatically.
• Forms and calendars: For information gathering or scheduling.

Consider GoHighLevel to be a comprehensive business platform. You can now connect using a single location instead of several different tools.

Step 3: Create a New Funnel Page (Your LinkTree Replacement)

Now, it’s time to design your new “link hub” inside GoHighLevel.

1. From GHL dashboard, go to Funnels → + New Funnel.
2. Choose a blank template or start with one of the “Link in Bio” style templates available in the marketplace.
3. Name it something like “Bio Links” or “Social Hub.”

Next, create a single page that functions like your LinkTree page. Here’s how:

• Put your profile pic or company logo at the top.
• Write a short bio or tagline to introduce yourself.
• Add buttons or sections for each of your links you want to share.
• Change the button colors, spacing, and animations to match your brand's style.

Step 4: Customize Your Design and Branding

GoHighLevel is great for landing page branding.

• The colours of your brand can be used for buttons and backgrounds. Include a profile picture, and your logo keeps things consistent.
• To make it look good? Change the fonts and spacing.
• Include Call to Actions to get easy attention.

GoHighLevel lets you control every little detail, unlike LinkTree, with its limited options. So, your bio page will look professional and unique to your brand.

Step 5: Add Lead Capture Features

Lead generation is one of GoHighLevel's greatest benefits. You can gather visitor information directly on the page. Rather than just linking out.

Here are some suggestions:

• Include a newsletter sign-up form.
• Include a calendar. So that followers can make direct appointment bookings.
• Provide a resource or guide for free.

Step 6: Set Up Tracking and Analytics

Once your page is ready, it’s important to track performance.

In GoHighLevel, you can:

• For more sophisticated tracking, connect Facebook Pixel or Google Analytics.
• Keep an eye on clicks and conversions in the GHL dashboard.
• To examine how users interact with your links? Use the Reporting section.

You can use this information to continuously improve your page's engagement and conversion rates.

Step 7: Replace Your Old LinkTree URL

Once your new GHL page is complete, simply click Publish and copy the unique link, such as yourbrand.gohighlevel.com/bio.

Head over to your social media profiles on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn, and swap out the old link in your bio with your fresh GoHighLevel link.

Consider using a custom domain. Like yourname.bio or yourbrandlinks.com, for an even more streamlined appearance.

Step 8: Test Everything

Before promoting your new link page? Test it thoroughly:

• Do all the buttons and links work?
• Are your forms submitting right?
• Is it mobile-friendly (most visitors will view it on mobile)?

Once you’re satisfied, you’re good to go live!
