Integrating Your Website with Other Tools

You can integrate your new HighLevel website with a ton of tools:

Some important integrations to consider are Google Analytics for understanding audience, GMB if you're a local company, Facebook Pixel for running ads, twilio for communication, stripe for payment integration and email marketing with Mailgun.

Let's go through a few of the most common GoHighLevel integrations.

Integration with Google Analytics & Tracking Software

You can use Google Analytics data to optimize your website for higher conversions by identifying which pages are performing well and which ones need improvement. For example, if you notice that visitors are spending less time on one particular page than others or leaving the site altogether from a certain page then this may suggest a problem with its content or design.

You can add a tracking code website-wide by heading to the settings of your website, and adding your code to either the head or the body. Alternatively, you can add page-specific tracking codes inside of the editor of any page by clicking on "Settings" and adding a tracking code.

Facebook Pixel Integration

With GoHighLevel's Facebook integration, you can track how users interact with your site after clicking on one of your ads on Facebook. This will give you insight into which ads are bringing in the most traffic and conversions for your business.

It also helps in retargeting those users once they leave the site as part of an effective remarketing campaign strategy through targeted ads served up based upon their browsing history and preferences. Ultimately, this will help you to optimize your advertising budget by focusing on the ads that are driving results and making data-driven decisions about what works best for your business.

Email Marketing Integration

Integrating GoHighLevel with Mailgun can help you to streamline your email marketing strategy. By using this integration, you'll be able to capture leads from website visitors who fill out forms on your site. This will allow you to follow up with them through targeted email campaigns designed to convert prospects into customers.

Finalize Your Website

Take the time to go through your website thoroughly and fix any errors or inconsistencies. If you have included images on your website, make sure they are optimized for web and mobile use.

Also, make sure that all the links on your website work correctly and that the navigation is consistent throughout. Once you have gone through your full website, take a step back, and look at it from a user's perspective.

Is it easy to navigate? Is all the information clearly displayed?

Does it load quickly? Ask yourself these questions and make any necessary adjustments before launching your website.

Promoting Your New Website

One of the easiest ways to promote your site is through social media. Share links to your site on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn - wherever potential customers are likely to find them.

If you have enough audience on your newsletter best way to promote your new website is through email marketing. Send out an email blast announcing the launch of your new site with a link for subscribers to check it out.

Don't forget about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Make sure that each page has appropriate meta tags that include keywords related to its content.

This will help ensure that search engines like Google can find and index relevant pages from your site more efficiently.
