How to Set Up GoHighLevel for Doctors – (Step-by-Step Tutorial)
Let’s keep it simple – we’ll both set up your account first, then follow the step-by-step strategies to put everything in place.
Below is your full setup plan for a medical practice:
Step 1: Create HighLevel Account for 30 Days Free
Since you’re just starting with GoHighLevel, you would need to properly set up your account.
And you can do that for free through our exclusive 30-Day Free Trial link here.
In order to start, head over to gohighlevel.com/30-day-free-tial free trial and click on “30 DAY FREE TRIAL” as you can see below.

Upon clicking on “30 DAY FREE TRIAL“, a page will pop that looks exactly like the image below.

If you take a closer look at the image above, you will see that you need to supply your:
- Business name
- Company name
- Company email
- Phone number
Supply all the pieces of information and click on “Go To Step #2.”
On the next page, you will be required to select the plan you want to opt in for.

As you can see from the image above, you can either choose from:
- HighLevel Starter Plan
- HighLevel Unlimited Plan
Select the HighLevel Unlimited Plan and continue – you can always upgrade to the SaaS Mode later if you want that or downgrade.
The next thing you want to do is supply your credit card information.
Note: You will not be debited anything today until the end of your trail that is if you don’t cancel. Keep in mind that $1 will be debited and refunded back instantly into your account just to test your card is working.
After you have supplied the information accordingly, click on “START YOUR 30 DAY FREE TRIAL” and you will be asked to confirm you’re not a robot.
After that, the page below will pop up.

The image above says, “Your Account has been created!” Now, you need to click on the blue button that says “Click Here to Get Started.“
Click on the blue button to start your onboarding process.
Step 2: GoHighLevel Onboarding Process
The onboarding questions help GoHighLevel understand why you have signed up for the platform so that it can tailor your experience accordingly.
This is all you need to do:
After you click on the blue button above, the page below will pop up.

As you can see above, you need to set up your password, and the password has to be:
- At least 8 characters long
- One lowercase letter
- One uppercase letter
- One number
- One special character
If you have input the password and it matches all the description above, everything will be green just the way it’s in the image.
Click on “Continue” there after, and the image below will pop up.

As you can see, a code will be sent to you to confirm your email address and phone number. The process is the same for the 2.
The next thing you need to do is to select how you plan to use GoHighLevel, as you can see below.

Select what best matches why you have signed up and click on Continue.
On the next page, you will be asked if you plan to resell GoHighLevel or not.

Select the answer based on the reason why you have signed up and click on “Continue”
Then, the page below will pop up.

From the image above, you need to select the industry that you fall on. You can also make use of the search button if you can’t find it right away.
Then, click on continue after you select your industry.

Then, the next thing you need to do is to select the number of clients that you currently have. Select “I don’t have any customers” yet if you currently don’t have one.
On the next page, you will be asked to select the platforms you currently use that you can integrate with GoHighLevel right away.

You can use the search button to search for any tools you want to add to your GoHighLevel account.
You can also skip this process and do it later if you want to.
After that, the page below will pop up.

The page above says your account is ready and is asking you to “Start Onboarding Call.”
The “Onboarding Call” allows you to connect with the Go High Level team in order to discuss your account set-up process and everything regarding your plan in using HighLevel.
If you don’t want to start the “Onboarding Call” yet, just stroll down, and you will see the button in the image below.

Simply click on “Not now, take me to my account“, and you will have access to your dashboard.
Note: If you have indicated that you want to resell HighLevel, you would have access to the agency dashboard by default, which looks like the image below.

But if you didn’t indicate interest in reselling GHL, your dashboard will look like the image below.

You can switch between these dashboards at any time.
The data you see on the dashboard above are not real data, they’re snapshots that you can use to kickstart your account setup process.
I want to say congratulations. You have successfully set up your Go High Level account.
