by

White labeling GoHighLevel allows you to fully customize the platform, so it feels like your own software, ready to be branded and resold.

Whether you’re a marketing agency looking to offer GoHighLevel under your branding, or you plan to resell it as a SaaS platform, this tutorial will guide you through the process.

What Does White Labeling GoHighLevel Mean?

White labeling lets you customize GoHighLevel so it appears as your own platform, complete with:

  • Your Logo: Replace GoHighLevel’s branding with your business logo.
  • Custom Domain: Use your branded domain instead of GoHighLevel’s default URL.
  • Custom Colors and Themes: Adjust the visual design to match your brand’s aesthetic.
  • Tailored Experience: Offer a fully branded platform to clients or as a SaaS product.

White labeling is available on GoHighLevel’s Unlimited Plan ($297/month) and is enhanced further with the SaaS Pro Plan for agencies looking to resell the platform.

How to White Label GoHighLevel

Step 1: Get Started with the Right Plan

Unlimited Plan ($297/month):

The Unlimited Plan gives you access to all of GoHighLevel’s core features, including:

  • Custom domains.
  • Branding and logo replacement.
  • Advanced white-label capabilities.

SaaS Pro Plan (Add-On):

If you’re looking to resell GoHighLevel as a SaaS solution, the SaaS Pro Plan includes additional features like:

  • Auto sub-account creation.
  • Client billing integration.
  • Pre-configured workflows for onboarding.

You can activate a 30-day free trial for these plans by clicking the special link available below the video or within GoHighLevel’s official resources.

Step 2: Upload Your Logo

  1. Navigate to Settings:
    • From your GoHighLevel dashboard, go to Settings in the bottom-left corner.
    • Click on Company in the left-hand menu.
  2. Upload Your Logo:
    • Scroll down to the logo section.
    • Click Upload and select your business logo file.
    • Your logo will now appear in the top-left corner of the platform, replacing the default GoHighLevel branding.

Step 3: Add Your Custom Domain

  1. Go to the Domain Section:
    • In the Company settings, locate the Custom Domain field.
  2. Enter Your Domain:
    • Type in your custom domain (e.g., app.mybusiness.com) and click Add Domain.
  3. Verify Your Domain:
    • GoHighLevel will provide you with DNS records to add to your domain provider (e.g., Hostinger, GoDaddy).
    • Copy these records (CNAME, A record, etc.) and paste them into your domain registrar’s settings.
  4. Finalize the Setup:
    • Click Verify Records once the DNS settings are updated.
    • Your custom domain will now appear at the top of the browser when accessing your GoHighLevel account.

Step 4: Customize the Theme

  1. Switch Between Light and Dark Mode:
    • Go to the Settings > Company section.
    • Toggle between the light or dark themes to see which one better matches your branding.
  2. Advanced Customization with CSS:
    • Scroll down to the Custom CSS field in the Company settings.
    • Add CSS code to adjust colors, fonts, and layout elements.
    • For example:

.menu-bar {
background-color: #2b2b2b;
}
.header-title {
color: #ffffff;
}

Step 5: Enhance the Platform’s Look with Visual CSS Editor

For those who want more advanced customization without manually writing CSS, the Visual CSS Editor Chrome extension is a powerful tool.

How to Use the Visual CSS Editor:

  1. Install the Extension:
    • Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for Visual CSS Editor.
    • Click Add to Chrome and install the extension.
  2. Launch the Extension:
    • Open your GoHighLevel dashboard.
    • Click the extension icon in Chrome to activate it.
  3. Edit Elements:
    • Hover over any part of the platform (e.g., menu, buttons, backgrounds) to select it.
    • Change colors, fonts, or layout properties directly within the editor.
    • Example: Apply a gradient background to the left-hand menu:
      • Hover over the menu, select the Background option, and choose a gradient style like “Stripe.”
  4. Export Custom CSS:
    • Once satisfied with the changes, click Export CSS in the top-right corner of the editor.
    • Copy the generated code.
  5. Apply the CSS in GoHighLevel:
    • Paste the code into the Custom CSS field under Settings > Company.
    • Click Update Company and refresh the page to apply the changes.

Step 6: Test and Review Your White-Labeled Platform

Checklist for Testing:

  • Logo Placement: Ensure your logo displays correctly in the top-left corner.
  • Domain Functionality: Confirm that the custom domain is active and loads the platform.
  • Theme Customization: Check the light/dark mode or custom CSS changes for consistency across pages.
  • Navigation and Features: Verify that navigation menus, buttons, and other elements function as intended.

Make Adjustments:

  • Return to the Visual CSS Editor or update CSS code to tweak any areas that need refinement.

Step 7: Resell GoHighLevel as SaaS (Optional)

If you’re using the SaaS Pro Plan, follow these steps to onboard clients and manage their accounts:

  1. Set Up Sub-Accounts:
    • Automate the creation of client accounts with pre-loaded templates and workflows.
  2. Enable Billing:
    • Integrate payment systems to bill clients directly for platform access.
  3. Onboard Clients:
    • Use pre-configured email sequences and training materials to onboard new clients.

Tips for Successful White Labeling

  1. Match Your Branding:
    • Use colors, fonts, and layouts consistent with your brand identity.
    • Keep the interface professional and user-friendly.
  2. Use High-Quality Assets:
    • Ensure logos and background images are high resolution to maintain a polished look.
  3. Leverage Custom Features:
    • Tailor workflows, templates, and email sequences to add value for your clients.
