Why it matters
Your list is an asset.
Are you using it?
Most businesses collect contacts and then go quiet. Consistent email and SMS follow-up keeps you top of mind and turns past enquiries into repeat bookings.
01
Emails land in spam
Without proper domain and sender setup, even good emails never reach the inbox.
02
Manual, one-off sending
Sending only when you remember means leads go cold in between campaigns.
03
One message for everyone
Without tags and segments, offers feel irrelevant and unsubscribes climb.
04
Compliance risk
Missing consent, opt-out or registration puts your sender reputation and number at risk.

FAQ
Email & SMS marketing
questions answered.
What does GHL email and SMS marketing setup include?
We configure your sending domain and phone number, build templates, lists and segments, create broadcasts and automated sequences, set up consent and opt-out handling, test everything and train your team.
Can you send both email and SMS from one campaign?
Yes. Workflows can combine both channels, for example an email first and an SMS nudge if it is not opened, with the sequence stopping when the contact replies or books.
How do you keep emails out of spam?
We set up a proper sending domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, ramp up volume gradually and follow list-hygiene best practices. Nobody can guarantee inbox placement, but this gives you the strongest foundation.
Is SMS marketing compliant?
We help you collect clear consent, add opt-out language, honor STOP replies and complete the US carrier registration (A2P 10DLC) GoHighLevel requires. You remain responsible for your own legal compliance, so check the rules for your industry.
Can I import my existing contacts?
Yes. We clean and import your list, map fields, add tags and segments, and only message contacts you have permission to contact.
Are email and SMS sending costs included?
Our service covers setup and optimization. Email and SMS sending usage is billed by GoHighLevel based on your account and volume, and we explain the expected costs during planning.
