The Complete GoHighLevel
Snapshots Guide

What Are GoHighLevel Snapshots?

GoHighLevel snapshots are pre-built templates that package entire client account configurations into a single shareable file. When you install a snapshot, you deploy a complete sub-account setup including workflows, funnels, email templates, SMS campaigns, automation rules, pipeline stages, custom fields, and dashboard settings — all pre-configured and ready to use.

Think of a snapshot as a "blueprint" for a specific industry or use case. Instead of manually recreating the same setup for every new client, you install a snapshot once and the entire infrastructure appears instantly. Agencies use snapshots to onboard clients in 5 minutes instead of 5 hours.

GoHighLevel maintains an official Snapshot Marketplace where users can browse, install, and even sell snapshots. The marketplace includes templates for real estate agents, home service businesses, coaches, SaaS agencies, e-commerce stores, and dozens of other niches. Snapshots can be free or premium, with prices typically ranging from $47 to $297.

A snapshot typically includes:

• Sub-account settings: Business profile, branding, timezone, and locale configuration
• CRM pipelines & stages: Pre-built deal stages tailored to the industry
• Workflows & automation: Multi-step follow-up sequences, trigger-based actions, and conditional branches
• Funnels & landing pages: Designed pages with integrated forms and payment links
• Email & SMS templates: Industry-specific copy that converts
• Dashboard & reporting: KPI dashboards with relevant metrics

How to Install a Snapshot

Installing a snapshot in GoHighLevel takes less than 5 minutes. Follow these steps:

1. Log into your GoHighLevel agency account and navigate to Settings > Company > Snapshots in the left sidebar.
2. Click the "Install Snapshot" button at the top right of the Snapshots page.
3. Paste the snapshot share link into the field. You can get share links from the GHL Snapshot Marketplace, from other users, or from your own exported snapshots.
4. Click "Next" and GHL will analyse the snapshot package. It will show you a preview of everything included — workflows, funnels, templates, and settings.
5. Choose a destination sub-account for the installation. You can install into a new sub-account or an existing one.
6. Review the configuration options. Some snapshots allow you to customise certain settings during installation, such as business name or phone number.
7. Click "Install" and wait 30-60 seconds while GHL deploys the snapshot. You'll see a progress indicator showing what's being installed.
8. Once complete, navigate to the destination sub-account and verify that all workflows, funnels, and templates are present and correctly configured.

Pro tip: Always test a newly installed snapshot in a sandbox sub-account before deploying it to client accounts. This lets you catch any configuration issues or broken links before your client sees them.

Best Snapshots for Agencies

Here are the most popular and highest-rated snapshot categories available in the GoHighLevel marketplace. These represent the best starting points for agencies looking to serve different types of clients:

How to Create Your Own Snapshot

Creating a snapshot from your existing sub-account setup is straightforward. This allows you to duplicate your best configurations for new clients or package them for sale.

1. Prepare your source sub-account: Ensure all workflows, funnels, templates, and settings are polished and tested. Remove any client-specific data such as actual contacts, conversations, or private notes.
2. Navigate to Settings > Company > Snapshots in your GHL dashboard.
3. Click the "Create Snapshot" button. You'll see a list of all sub-accounts in your agency.
4. Select the source sub-account that contains the configuration you want to package.
5. Choose which components to include: workflows, funnels, email templates, SMS templates, pipelines, custom fields, triggers, tags, and dashboard settings. GHL lets you toggle each category on or off.
6. Give your snapshot a name and description. Be specific about what industry or use case it's designed for. Good naming helps users find your snapshot later.
7. Click "Generate Snapshot". GHL will package everything into a shareable file and provide you with a unique share link.
8. Share the link with other users or submit it to the Snapshot Marketplace for public listing.

Best practices for snapshot creation: Use clear naming conventions, include placeholder data where personalisation is needed, document what your snapshot includes in the description, and update your snapshots regularly to stay compatible with GHL's latest features.

How to Sell Snapshots on the Marketplace

GoHighLevel's Snapshot Marketplace allows approved creators to sell their snapshots and earn passive income. Here is how to get started as a snapshot seller:

• Apply as a creator: Go to the Snapshot Marketplace and click "Become a Creator." You'll need to submit an application that includes your background, the snapshots you plan to create, and samples of your work. Approval is not automatic — GHL reviews each application.
• Create high-quality snapshots: Successful marketplace snapshots include polished funnels with professional copy, tested workflows with no broken steps, comprehensive email and SMS templates, and clear documentation. Invest time in making your snapshot look professional.
• Set your price: Most snapshots sell for $47 to $197. Premium snapshots with extensive automation and multiple funnel pages can go up to $297. GHL recommends starting at $47-67 to build reviews and reputation.
• Earn 70% commission: GHL takes a 30% platform fee on each sale, and you keep 70%. For a $97 snapshot, you earn approximately $68 per sale. High-quality creators with 10+ snapshots can earn $2,000-$5,000 per month passively.
• Market your snapshots: Promote your marketplace listings through social media, YouTube tutorials, and agency communities. Snapshots with demo videos and detailed descriptions consistently outsell those without.
• Provide support: Buyers expect reasonable support after purchase. Answer questions, provide installation guidance, and release updates when GHL releases new features that affect your snapshot.

The snapshot marketplace has become a significant income stream for experienced GoHighLevel users. Some top creators report earning over $10,000 per month from snapshot sales alone. The key is identifying underserved niches and building comprehensive, polished templates that save agencies hours of setup time.
