Building funnels inside
GoHighLevel
is one of the fastest ways to generate and convert leads — without needing external tools like ClickFunnels or Leadpages.
GoHighLevel gives you everything: drag-and-drop funnel pages, forms, automations, and even payments in one place.
In this guide, we’ll show you **exactly how to create, customize, and launch a complete funnel in GoHighLevel**, step-by-step.
1. Understanding How Funnels Work in GoHighLevel
A funnel is a series of web pages designed to move a visitor toward a goal — such as booking a call, making a purchase, or submitting a form.
In GoHighLevel, funnels are built using the Funnel Builder under the Sites tab.
You can include landing pages, thank-you pages, upsell/downsell pages, and checkout steps — all connected through automation workflows.
2. Creating a New Funnel
To create your first funnel:
- Go to Sites → Funnels → + New Funnel.
- Choose Blank Funnel or start from a Template.
- Enter a name (e.g., “Free Consultation Funnel”).
- Select the location or client sub-account you’re working on.
3. Adding Funnel Steps (Pages)
Click “Add New Step” to create pages such as:
- Landing Page – to capture visitor interest.
- Opt-in Page – to collect email or phone details.
- Thank You Page – confirming submission or booking.
- Upsell Page – optional page to offer upgrades or add-ons.
4. Designing Your Funnel Page
Click on any funnel step to open the Page Builder.
From here, you can:
- Drag elements (text, images, buttons, forms, videos) onto the canvas.
- Edit headlines and body copy inline.
- Add call-to-action buttons with links to forms or next steps.
- Use Sections → Rows → Columns for responsive layouts.
- Preview your design in desktop, tablet, and mobile views.
5. Adding Forms or Surveys to Capture Leads
To collect visitor data:
- Go to Sites → Forms → Builder.
- Create a form with fields like Name, Email, Phone, and Message.
- Click “Integrate Form” and select your funnel page.
- Drag the “Form” element onto your page and choose your form from the dropdown.
6. Connecting Your Funnel to a Workflow
Once your form is connected, you can link it to an automation:
- Go to Automation → Workflows.
- Create a new workflow with the trigger Form Submitted.
- Add actions such as Send SMS, Send Email, or Move to Pipeline Stage.
7. Setting Up Payments (Optional)
If your funnel sells a product or service:
- Go to Payments → Integrations and connect your Stripe account.
- Return to your funnel page and add the Order Form element.
- Choose your product and set the price.
8. Configuring Your Domain & Publishing the Funnel
To make your funnel live:
- Go to Settings → Domains → Add New Domain.
- Enter your domain (e.g., offers.yourdomain.com).
- Update DNS with your hosting provider using GoHighLevel’s CNAME record.
- Return to your funnel → Settings → choose the domain and funnel path.
9. Adding Tracking & Analytics
Tracking is crucial to know what works.
Add your
Google Analytics 4
tag or Facebook Pixel under Settings → Custom Code.
You can also set up conversion tracking via GoHighLevel’s built-in analytics or integrate
Google Tag Manager.
Track page views, opt-ins, and sales conversions easily.
10. Testing & Launching Your Funnel

- Submit test forms to verify contact capture.
- Check automation triggers and email delivery.
- Ensure mobile responsiveness and page speed.
