Making the Switch from ClickFunnels to GoHighLevel? Here’s Your Painless Migration Guide

I get it – moving platforms sounds like a headache. You’ve spent hours perfecting your ClickFunnels pages, and the thought of rebuilding everything makes you want to crawl back to bed. But here’s the good news: I’ve helped dozens of businesses make this exact transition, and I’m going to walk you through the easiest way to bring your funnels over to GoHighLevel without losing your mind.

Why Bother Switching? (The Real Reasons)

Let’s be honest – if ClickFunnels was working perfectly for you, you wouldn’t be reading this. Here’s why my clients have made the jump:

1. Your Wallet Will Thank You

• ClickFunnels’ $297/month plan vs. GoHighLevel’s $97/month? That’s $2,400/year back in your pocket.
• I had one client who switched five client accounts and saved over $1,000/month immediately.

1. All-In-One Actually Means All-In-One

• No more juggling 12 different tools. GoHighLevel handles:
  • Your CRM (way better than ClickFunnels’)
  • Email/SMS marketing
  • Appointment scheduling
  • Even call tracking
• My agency runs our entire operation from one dashboard now.

1. Your Funnels Will Work Harder For You

• The automation capabilities blow ClickFunnels out of the water
• Built-in lead scoring tells you exactly who’s ready to buy
• Two-way SMS integration has increased conversions for my ecom clients by 30%

The Step-By-Step Migration Process (No Tech Skills Needed)

Here’s exactly how I transfer client funnels without the headache:

1. Prep Work (5 Minutes)

• In ClickFunnels, open the funnel you want to move
• Click “Publish” and copy the PUBLIC link (not the shareable one)
• Pro Tip: Do this in order (Step 1, Step 2, etc.) to keep your funnel flow intact

1. The Magic Import (2 Minutes Per Page)

• In GoHighLevel:
  1. Go to Sites > Funnels
  2. Click “+ New Funnel”
  3. Select “Add New Step”
  4. Paste your ClickFunnels URL
  5. Watch the magic happen (seriously, it’s that easy)

1. Cleanup (Where Most People Mess Up)

• Check ALL buttons and links (sometimes they don’t transfer perfectly)
• Test the mobile view (GoHighLevel’s editor is more responsive)
• Update any ClickFunnels-specific scripts or tracking codes

Pro Tip: For complex funnels, I do this while screen-sharing with clients. Seeing their pages appear in GoHighLevel instantly removes all their migration fears.

What Doesn’t Transfer (So You’re Prepared)

• Some custom CSS might need tweaking
• Membership areas require manual setup
• Certain payment integrations need reconnection

After The Move – Next Level Stuff

Now that you’re in GoHighLevel, here’s where you’ll really see the difference:

1. Set Up Smart Triggers

• Example: When someone opts in, automatically:
  • Add to your CRM
  • Send a text message
  • Create a follow-up task for your team

1. Use The Built-In CRM

• Tag leads based on funnel activity
• Set up lead scoring to prioritize hot prospects
• Create custom pipelines for different offers

1. Two-Way SMS (Game Changer)

• My ecom clients see 3x more replies than email
• Set up abandoned cart texts that actually get responses
• Personalize messages based on funnel behavior

Final Advice From Someone Who’s Done This 100+ Times

1. Don’t Try to Move Everything at Once

• Start with your highest-converting funnel
• Get comfortable in GoHighLevel first
• Then migrate the rest

1. The Import Isn’t Perfect – And That’s OK

• Expect to spend 15-30 minutes polishing each funnel
• The time you save not rebuilding from scratch is worth it

1. Use This as an Opportunity to Improve

• While you’re cleaning up, test new headlines/buttons
• Add elements you couldn’t in ClickFunnels
• Your “new” funnels will outperform the old ones
