Introduction to Sub Account Management

Setting up sub-accounts in GoHighLevel is a foundational step for any agency aiming to manage multiple clients efficiently. Sub-accounts allow you to:

• Organize each client’s data, campaigns, and marketing assets in a dedicated space.
• Customize campaigns, funnels, and contact lists for each client, ensuring tailored management and targeted marketing.
• Enhance client satisfaction by providing individualized management and reporting. Users can also be granted access to specific sub-accounts, allowing for controlled permissions and confidentiality.
• Maintain clear separation between client data, reducing the risk of cross-account issues.

Proper sub-account management is essential for scaling your agency and delivering a professional experience to every client.

Navigating the Agency View

The agency view in GoHighLevel is your command center for overseeing all client accounts. Here’s how to make the most of it:

• Switch between sub-accounts seamlessly to manage client information without logging in and out. You can do this by clicking on the desired account in the dashboard, making navigation quick and efficient.
• Grant access to specific users for individual sub-accounts, ensuring data confidentiality and role-based security. Users can select specific sub-accounts or client locations from a dropdown menu for more efficient navigation.
• Understand the distinction: The agency account is for overall management, billing, and platform-wide settings, while sub-accounts are for individual client operations. Selecting the appropriate account or location ensures accurate data mapping and effective campaign management.
• Manage campaigns and marketing efforts for multiple clients, all from a single dashboard.

Creating and Configuring Accounts

Follow these steps to create and configure sub-accounts for your clients:

1. Create a New Sub-Account

• Go to your agency dashboard and click “Add Sub Account.” A new subaccount will be created.
• Enter the client’s business details, including address (with map location), contact info, and business niche. You can locate the client’s address on the map for accurate setup.

2. Input and Save Client Information

• Fill in all required fields and save the account.
• Use the “Manage Client” option to edit details as needed for ongoing flexibility.

3. Set Up Users, Roles, and Permissions

• Assign users to the sub-account and define their roles (admin, user, etc.).
• Set permissions to control access to sensitive data and features.

4. Configure Campaigns and Assets

• Load relevant snapshots to streamline the setup process for each new subaccount, set up pipelines, and import contact lists tailored to the client’s needs.

Note: When a client is signed up, a subaccount is automatically created for them, streamlining onboarding.

Setting up each client in a dedicated sub-account ensures organized, scalable, and secure management.

Managing Multiple Sub Accounts

Managing a lot of clients and sub-accounts is simple with GoHighLevel’s intuitive tools:

• Switch between agency and sub-account views to perform different tasks—agency view for billing and global settings, sub-account view for client-specific work.
• Use the “Switch to Agency View” feature to quickly jump between accounts.
• Tailor campaigns, marketing, and CRM for each client, ensuring every account receives personalized attention.
• Leverage platform features to streamline repetitive tasks and improve client satisfaction.

Configuring Account Settings

Configuring your account settings in GoHighLevel is a crucial step to ensure your agency and client operations run smoothly. To get started, log into your agency account and switch to the agency view, where you can oversee all client accounts and sub accounts from a single location. Here, you’ll find options to create new sub accounts, manage client information, and adjust settings to fit each client’s requirements.

When setting up a new sub account, simply click the “Add Sub Account” button and enter the necessary client details, such as business name, contact information, and any other relevant data. You can then assign users to each sub account, giving them specific roles and permissions to control what they can access and manage. This granular level of access ensures that sensitive client data is only available to authorized users, helping you maintain security and compliance across all accounts.

GoHighLevel also supports seamless integration with other marketing and CRM tools through its API, allowing you to automate processes and connect external platforms as needed. Whether you’re managing a single client or juggling multiple accounts, the platform’s flexible settings make it easy to switch between sub accounts, update user roles, and customize access to fit your agency’s workflow. By taking the time to properly configure your account settings, you’ll set the foundation for efficient, secure, and scalable client management.

Advanced Features and Automation

Take your agency operations to the next level with automation and integrations:

• Automate sub-account creation using GoHighLevel’s Public API. The process involves fetching data, mapping fields, and sending requests—be sure to have your API key on hand for setup. After entering the required information, hit ‘Continue’ to proceed. Ensure you format your data correctly, especially when setting the Content-Type header, so the API interprets it properly. Once automation is set up, you will receive confirmation or access to the new sub-account.
• Integrate with tools like Zapier to automate workflows, such as adding new leads or updating contact information.
• Use automation to create new locations, add users, and configure settings—all triggered by events in your CRM or external apps.
• Set up webhooks and map data for advanced integrations and real-time updates, making sure to format data for seamless API integration.

These features help you build a customized, efficient management system that scales with your agency. After completing the initial automation steps, the rest of the setup is straightforward.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even the best systems encounter hiccups. Here’s how to handle them:

• Troubleshoot API call errors by reviewing payloads with tools like Webhook.site.
