How to Set Up GoHighLevel for Plumbers – (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.
This section walks you through a simple, practical setup so your plumbing business is ready to handle service calls, respond faster, and organize your workflow:
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.
Step 3: Add Your Plumbing Business Information
Start by setting up your core business details inside GoHighLevel:
- Business name and logo
- Service areas (cities, regions, zip codes)
- Operating hours
- Emergency service hours (if applicable)
- Contact email and phone numbers
- Custom domain (optional but recommended)
This helps ensure your booking pages, reminders, and forms look professional and reflect your plumbing brand.
Step 4: Create Technician and Office Staff Profiles
Every technician should have their own profile so you can assign calls, track job performance, and manage availability.
For each team member, set:
- Name and role (technician, apprentice, admin, dispatcher)
- Work hours
- Service expertise (e.g., water heaters, pipe repair, sewer line work)
- Service area or radius
- Calendar availability
- Permissions (access levels)
This helps GoHighLevel route leads and schedule jobs accurately.
Step 5: Set Up Your Plumbing Service Categories
Break your services into categories to keep your funnels, calendars, and automations organized.
Examples:
- Emergency plumbing
- Leak detection
- Drain cleaning
- Water heater repair/installation
- Pipe replacement
- Toilet & sink repair
- Sewer line issues
- Annual plumbing inspection
- Commercial plumbing services
Each service can include:
- Description
- Estimated duration
- Price or starting price
- Technician assignment
This ensures clients know exactly what they’re booking.
Step 6: Build Your Plumbing Calendars
Your scheduling system should match how your business operates.
You can create calendars for:
A. Emergency Service Calls
- Same-day priority
- Shorter time slots
- Auto-assign nearest technician
B. Standard Service Calls
- Repairs
- Installations
- Follow-up visits
C. Inspections & Maintenance
- Annual plumbing checks
- Water heater safety inspections
- Commercial contracts
Calendars should reflect:
- Technician availability
- Travel time buffers
- Service duration
- Location-based scheduling
Step 7: Connect Your Phone System & Missed-Call Text-Back
Plumbers lose a lot of business when calls go unanswered – especially emergencies.
GoHighLevel provides a business number you can use for:
- Incoming service calls
- Outgoing SMS
- Automated responses
- Missed-call text-back
When someone calls and you’re unavailable, GoHighLevel can instantly send:
“Sorry we missed your call. How can we help? Reply here to get immediate assistance.”
This prevents you from losing leads during busy hours.
Step 8: Connect Your Email & Communication Channels
Link your:
- Gmail
- Outlook
- Custom domain email
This allows you to send:
- Quotes
- Invoices
- Follow-ups
- Appointment confirmations
Everything flows into one communication dashboard.
Step 9: Connect Your Payment Gateway
Plumbing jobs often require deposits, partial payments, or full payment on completion.
Integrate:
- Stripe
- PayPal (optional)
- NMI
- Square (via integrations)
Once connected, you can:
- Send payment links
- Collect deposits before dispatch
- Create invoices
- Offer maintenance plan subscriptions
Payments sync automatically into client profiles.
Step 10: Add Custom Intake Forms for Service Requests
Create forms that gather details before dispatching a technician.
Include fields like:
- Problem type
- Severity
- Photos or videos of the issue
- Address
- Access instructions
- Preferred time
- Warranty or past repair info
This helps you diagnose issues faster and prepare the right tools before arriving on-site.
Step 11: Set Up Your CRM Pipelines for Plumbing Jobs
Your pipeline organizes every service request from start to finish.
Example pipeline:
- New Service Request
- Contacted
- Scheduled
- Technician Dispatched
- Job Completed
- Follow-Up Needed
- Invoice Sent
- Paid
- Repeat Customer
This gives you a clear overview of your plumbing operations.
Step 12: Prepare Your Automation Templates
Set up templates for:
- Emergency response SMS
- Standard job confirmations
- Follow-up messages
- Quote reminders
- Review requests
- Maintenance plan promotions
- Seasonal campaigns
These templates save time when building automations later.
Your GoHighLevel system is now properly set up for plumbing operations.
Managing Leads, Homeowners & Plumbing Jobs With the CRM
The CRM is where your entire plumbing workflow comes together. Every homeowner, commercial client, service request, quote, and job update lives here.
When you organize your CRM correctly, your plumbing business becomes easier to manage, your response times improve, and you never lose track of a job again.
Below is exactly how to use GoHighLevel’s CRM to manage leads, dispatch technicians, store job details, and create a smooth end-to-end service experience.
Build a Plumbing Pipeline That Matches Your Job Flow
Your CRM pipeline should reflect how your plumbing jobs move through your business.
A simple, effective pipeline might include:
- New Lead
- Needs Response
- Quoted
- Scheduled
- Dispatched to Technician
- Job in Progress
- Completed
- Invoice Sent
- Paid
- Follow-Up
- Repeat Customer
Each stage helps you:
- Track every opportunity
- See which jobs need attention
- Keep technicians and office staff aligned
- Improve efficiency and prevent bottlenecks
Store Detailed Client Information for Faster Job Handling
Every homeowner or commercial client gets their own profile inside the CRM. You can store:
- Contact details
- Property address
- Type of property (residential or commercial)
- Job history
- Photos or videos of past issues
- Technician notes
- Warranty details
- Preferred appointment times
- Payment history
- Maintenance plan status (if subscribed)
This makes every future interaction smoother for both your clients and your technicians.
Track Service Requests & Plumbing Job Details
Each job can include:
- Problem description
- Severity level
- Photos of the issue
- Job category (leak, pipe, heater, drain, sewer line, etc.)
- Service location
- Required parts or tools
- Estimated cost
- Technician assignment
- Scheduled date and time
All the information is in one place so your team knows exactly what to expect before arriving on-site.
Assign Jobs to Technicians Directly From the CRM
You can assign based on:
- Skill level
- Service type
- Technician availability
- Location or zone
- Current workload
Once assigned:
- The technician gets a notification
- Job details appear instantly in their dashboard
- Any updates sync in real time
This prevents miscommunication and speeds up dispatching.
Use Tags to Organize Clients & Jobs
Tags help you sort and categorize clients quickly.
Examples:
- “Emergency”
- “Water heater”
- “Commercial client”
- “Maintenance plan member”
- “High value”
- “Pending invoice”
- “Repeat customer”
Tags make it easy to trigger automations or filter clients for targeted campaigns.
Manage Photos, Videos & Job Notes Easily
Technicians can upload:
- Before/after photos
- Videos of problems
- Repair progress
- Parts used
- Notes from the job
- Recommendations for future service
Everything stays linked to the client record for future reference.
Track Quote Status & Conversion Rates
Every quote can be tracked through the pipeline.
You can see:
- Who viewed the quote
- Who accepted or declined
- Who needs follow-up
- How long clients take to decide
This helps you improve your quoting process and close more jobs.
Set Follow-Up Tasks for Office Staff or Technicians
Inside the CRM, you can assign tasks like:
- Call customer back
- Send updated quote
- Order parts
- Confirm appointment
- Schedule reinspection
- Upload service report
This keeps your team organized and accountable.
Segment Clients Based on Service Type, Frequency & Value
You can build smart lists such as:
- Clients with water heaters over 10 years old
- Customers who booked emergency service
- Commercial clients needing annual inspections
- High-value residential clients
- Clients who haven’t booked in 6–12 months
- Maintenance plan members
These lists help you send targeted campaigns and improve customer retention.
Track Job Performance & Revenue From the CRM
You can monitor:
- Number of jobs completed
- Types of jobs most frequently requested
- Revenue per client
- Revenue per service category
- Technician performance
- Job completion times
- Conversion rates from lead → job
This data helps you understand what’s working and where you can improve.
Your CRM becomes the control center of your plumbing company – helping you track every job, respond faster, and keep your business running smoothly.
Automating Client Intake, Service Requests & Follow-Up
Automation is one of the biggest advantages GoHighLevel brings to your plumbing business.
Instead of manually responding to new service requests, chasing quotes, or reminding clients about scheduled jobs, your system handles it automatically.
This helps you respond faster, reduce lost opportunities, and keep your technicians busy without overwhelming your office staff.
Below is exactly how to automate intake, service requests, and follow-up for plumbers.
Automate Responses to New Service Requests
When a homeowner submits a request – through your website, landing page, form, or phone call – GoHighLevel can respond instantly.
Your automation can send:
- A confirmation message
- A “We received your request” SMS
- An intake form link for more details
- Estimated response time
- Emergency instructions (if needed)
This builds trust and prevents leads from slipping away, especially during busy hours.
Automate Emergency Plumbing Responses
Emergency jobs need immediate attention, and GoHighLevel can prioritize them.
Your automation can:
- Detect when “emergency” is selected
- Send a fast-response message
- Ask key questions (photos, severity, leak location)
- Notify the nearest available technician
- Alert your office team instantly
This ensures you handle high-priority jobs quickly.
Create Smart Routing Based on Job Type or Location
Automate lead assignment based on:
- Technician skill
- Job category
- Client location
- Technician availability
Examples:
- Water heater issues → send to heater specialist
- Sewer backups → dispatch drain technician
- Jobs within a 10-mile radius → assign to nearest tech
Your response time improves dramatically.
Automate Pre-Service Intake Questions
Before dispatching a technician, gather the right details automatically.
Your intake workflow can ask:
- What problem are you experiencing?
- When did it start?
- Are there photos you can upload?
- Is water leaking continuously?
- Did you shut off the main valve?
- What is your address?
- Preferred time for service?
This reduces diagnosis time and helps techs arrive prepared.
Automate Quote Follow-Ups (Huge for Conversions)
Many plumbing quotes go cold simply because customers get distracted.
Your system can follow up automatically:
After 1 hour: “Did you have any questions about your quote?”
After 24 hours: “We still have an opening today if you’re ready.”
After 48 hours: “This is a quick reminder about your plumbing quote – let us know how we can help.”
This alone increases your quote conversion rates significantly.
Send Automated Appointment Confirmations
Once a job is scheduled, GoHighLevel sends:
- Confirmation email
- SMS with appointment details
- Technician’s name and arrival window
- Instructions to prepare (e.g., clear access to water heater)
Clients feel prepared, and your team looks more professional.
Reduce No-Shows With Automated Reminders
Send reminders:
- 24 hours before
- 2–3 hours before
- When the technician is on the way (optional with GPS tools)
This reduces cancellations and missed appointments.
Automate Technician Dispatch Notifications
Once a job is assigned:
- The technician receives job details instantly
- They can see notes, photos, and client history
- They can update the job status on-site
This eliminates back-and-forth communication with office staff.
Automate Post-Job Follow-Up Messages
After the job is completed, send:
- A thank-you message
- Job summary or service report
- Recommendations for future maintenance
- A link to request another service
- Warranty information (if applicable)
This creates a polished customer experience.
Automate Review Requests
Reviews help plumbing companies grow, especially on Google.
Your system automatically sends:
- Review request SMS
- Email with review links
- Follow-up reminder if no review is left
Higher reviews → more bookings → more revenue.
Automate Maintenance & Annual Service Reminders
Use automations to schedule:
- Annual plumbing inspections
- Water heater maintenance
- Sewer line checks
- Seasonal winterization
- Filter replacements
For example:
“It’s been 12 months since your last plumbing inspection – schedule now to avoid costly issues.”
This increases repeat business and builds long-term client relationships.
Automate Win-Back Messages for Inactive Clients
Create triggers for clients who haven’t booked in:
- 6 months
- 12 months
- 18 months
Send:
- Special offers
- Maintenance reminders
- Personalized messages
This helps you recover lost customers with minimal effort.
Your automations ensure you never miss a lead, never forget a follow-up, and never lose a repeat customer opportunity.
Appointment Scheduling for Service Calls, Inspections & Emergencies
Plumbing businesses rely heavily on fast, accurate scheduling.
Homeowners expect quick responses, businesses need reliable appointments, and emergencies require immediate attention.
GoHighLevel gives you a flexible scheduling system that helps you manage all types of plumbing jobs – from routine inspections to urgent repairs – without confusion or double-booking.
This section shows you how to set up scheduling that keeps your technicians organized, reduces back-and-forth communication, and improves response time.
Create Different Calendars for Different Job Types
Your plumbing business can benefit from using separate calendars for each service category.
A. Emergency Plumbing Calendar
For urgent jobs like burst pipes, sewer backups, or major leaks.
Features you can set:

- Auto-assign nearest available technician
B. Standard Service Calendar
For regular jobs like:

Clients choose available time slots with no need to call the office.
C. Inspection & Maintenance Calendar
For recurring or pre-scheduled work:
- Annual inspections
- Water heater checks
- Commercial maintenance visits
- Real estate plumbing inspections
Organizing calendars this way keeps your operations clean and predictable.
Set Technician Availability and Working Hours
Each technician has different working hours, specialties, and service areas.
Inside GoHighLevel you can configure:
- Days and times they are available
- Breaks and travel time
- Specific skills (e.g., water heater specialist)
- Regions they cover (North, Central, South)
When clients book online, the system shows only available technicians for that job type.
Offer 24/7 Online Scheduling for Homeowners
You can place your booking link on:
- Your website
- Google Business Profile
- Facebook page
- Instagram bio
- Email signature
- SMS campaigns
- Local ads
Clients can schedule:
- Repair services
- Estimates
- Inspections
- Consultations
This reduces phone calls and frees your office staff to focus on more important tasks.
Add Travel Time Buffers Between Jobs
To avoid technician delays, GoHighLevel lets you add buffers between appointments.
Examples:
- 15-minute buffer for local jobs
- 30-minute buffer for city-wide jobs
- Custom buffer based on technician route
This prevents overlapping time slots and keeps your schedule accurate all day.
Enable Priority Booking for High-Value Clients
Your best customers – commercial clients or maintenance plan members – can get:
- Reserved time blocks
- Faster scheduling
- Dedicated technician availability
You can create special calendar rules just for them.
Allow Self-Serve Rescheduling
Clients can reschedule their service appointment without calling the office.
They receive:
- A reschedule link
- Access to available times
- Automatic calendar updates
This reduces admin work and keeps your schedule organized.
Automate Appointment Confirmations & Reminders
Once a job is booked, GoHighLevel sends:
- Confirmation email
- SMS confirmation
- Directions or instructions
- Technician name and arrival window
Reminder automations include:
- 24-hour reminder
- 2–3 hour reminder
- Day-of reminder
This reduces cancellations and ensures clients are ready when the technician arrives.
Route Emergency Leads Automatically
When the system detects keywords like “leak,” “flood,” “burst pipe,” “urgent,” or “emergency,” it can:
- Notify your office immediately
- Assign the closest available technician
- Move the job to priority calendar
- Trigger emergency response messages
This helps you respond faster without manual sorting.
Use Dynamic Appointment Windows
Plumbing jobs can vary in length, so dynamic scheduling helps you avoid bottlenecks.
Examples:
- Inspections = 30 min
- Minor repairs = 60 min
- Installations = 2–3 hours
- Commercial jobs = custom time
GoHighLevel adjusts the schedule automatically based on the selected service.
Manage Commercial Appointments Efficiently
For commercial plumbing jobs, you can:
- Block out half-day or full-day time slots
- Assign multiple technicians
- Send automated pre-job instructions
- Attach building access codes, maps, or permits
This keeps big jobs organized and professional.
Track Appointment Status in Real Time
Technicians or staff can update:
- “On the way”
- “Arrived”
- “Job started”
- “Waiting for parts”
- “Job complete”
These updates help your office team stay informed without constantly calling technicians.
GoHighLevel gives you a fast, accurate, and automated scheduling system that keeps your plumbing business running smoothly and minimizes scheduling mistakes.
Building High-Converting Plumbing Funnels & Service Pages
Your plumbing business grows when homeowners can quickly understand what you offer and book a service without confusion. High-converting funnels and service pages make this easy.
They turn visitors into booked jobs, guide emergency leads to fast contact, and help you promote specific services like drain cleaning, water heater installations, or maintenance plans.
GoHighLevel allows you to build clean, simple, and effective plumbing funnels that help your business capture more service requests and convert them into paying customers fast.
Start With a Clear, Trust-Building Plumbing Landing Page
Your main service page should include:

- “Book a Service” button above the fold
- Homeowner testimonials
- Before/after photos
- Certifications and licenses
- Service area coverage
- Guarantees (e.g., “Same-Day Service” or “Upfront Pricing”)
The goal is to build trust quickly and make booking easy.
Create an Emergency Plumbing Funnel (High-Converting)
Emergency plumbing is one of the highest-value funnels in the industry.
Your funnel should include:
- Urgency-driven headline (“Burst Pipe? Fast Emergency Plumbing Available Now”)
- Short form requesting immediate details
- 24/7 hotline button

This funnel consistently attracts local homeowners.

This increases conversion and helps you collect more information upfront.
Use A/B Testing to Improve Conversions

Small improvements can significantly increase booked jobs.
Connect Your Funnels to Google & Facebook Ads
For plumbers, local ads work extremely well.
Your funnels should be connected directly to:
- Google Local Ads
- Google Search Ads
- Facebook Lead Ads
- Instagram Ads
Every lead flows into GoHighLevel automatically, triggering automations.
High-converting funnels help you book more plumbing jobs by making your services easy to understand, easy to trust, and easy to request.
Running Email & SMS Campaigns for Plumbing Lead Nurturing
Your plumbing business becomes far more profitable when you keep leads engaged, follow up automatically, and stay top-of-mind for future plumbing needs.
Most homeowners don’t hire a plumber the moment they visit your website – they compare options, wait for the right time, or forget to follow up.
GoHighLevel solves this by letting you run automated email and SMS campaigns that nurture leads, convert estimates into jobs, and keep customers returning for recurring services and future repairs.
Below is how to use GoHighLevel to run high-performing campaigns for your plumbing business.
Build a New Lead Nurture Sequence
When someone requests a quote or service, don’t wait for them to call back.
Your nurture sequence can include:
- A welcome message
- A quick breakdown of services
- Why homeowners trust your plumbing company
- Before/after repair photos
- A reminder to schedule service
- A link to book immediately
This builds trust and keeps your brand in front of the homeowner until they’re ready.
Send Automated Quote Follow-Up Messages
Plumbing quotes often go unanswered because people get distracted.
You can automate follow-ups like:
After 1 hour: “Just checking in – let me know if you have any questions about your estimate.”
After 24 hours: “We still have availability today if you’d like to schedule.”
After 48 hours: “Here’s your quote again – happy to help anytime.”
Simple follow-ups dramatically increase conversion rates.
Create Seasonal Plumbing Campaigns
Throughout the year, homeowners face different plumbing challenges.
You can send campaigns for:
- Winterization (before cold months)
- Spring drain cleaning
- Summer pipe expansion checks
- Annual water heater maintenance
- Holiday plumbing preparation
These campaigns position your business as proactive and helpful.
Use SMS for Fast Response and Urgent Situations
SMS gets faster responses than email – especially for plumbing issues.
Use SMS for:
- Emergency alerts
- Same-day openings
- Quick quote reminders
- Technician arrival notifications
- “Reply YES to confirm your appointment”
- Last-minute schedule changes
Homeowners appreciate fast communication.
Build Maintenance Plan Renewal Campaigns
If your company offers maintenance plans, GoHighLevel can automate:
- Renewal reminders
- Upcoming inspection notifications
- Contract expiration alerts
- Annual service recommendations
This creates consistent recurring revenue for your plumbing business.
Create Reactivation Campaigns for Inactive Clients
Your CRM contains past customers who may need plumbing work again.
Target:
- Clients who haven’t booked in 6 months
- Clients who haven’t received annual inspections
- Homeowners who only called for emergencies
Your reactivation message might say:
“It’s been a while since your last plumbing service. Want us to take a quick look and make sure everything is running smoothly?”
This simple message often brings back repeat business.
Send Review Request Campaigns Automatically
Reviews help you rank in local searches and attract more plumbing jobs.
Your automation might send:
- A “thank you for choosing us” message
- A link to leave a review
- A follow-up reminder if needed
Higher ratings → more calls → more booked jobs.
Create Cross-Sell Campaigns Based on Previous Work
Example automations:
- If someone received drain cleaning → send water heater maintenance offer
- If someone installed a new heater → send annual inspection reminders
- If someone had a pipe repair → send leak-prevention tips and a maintenance discount
Cross-selling increases lifetime value without additional marketing costs.
Use Educational Campaigns to Build Trust
You can send helpful tips such as:
- “How to shut off your water during an emergency”
- “Signs your water heater is failing”
- “What causes sewer line backups”
- “Preventing winter pipe bursts”
Useful content builds authority and gets more homeowners to trust your plumbing company.
Run Promotional Campaigns During Slow Seasons
Plumbing businesses typically slow down during certain months.
Run promotions like:
- $79 drain cleaning
- Discounted inspections
- Free leak check with repair
- Water heater installation specials
Use SMS or email blasts to fill your schedule when demand is low.
Track Campaign Performance Inside GoHighLevel
You can monitor:
- Open rates
- Click-through rates
- Responses
- Conversions
- Booked jobs
- Revenue per campaign
This helps you refine your messaging and improve results over time.
Smart nurturing ensures your plumbing business stays booked, builds trust, and turns one-time leads into long-term customers.
Managing Quotes, Invoices, Service Agreements & Payments
Plumbing jobs often require quick quoting, clear invoicing, secure payment collection, and smooth handling of service agreements.
When you manage all these processes manually, things slip through the cracks – quotes go unanswered, invoices get delayed, and payment follow-up becomes stressful.
GoHighLevel brings everything into one place so you can send quotes faster, get paid faster, and maintain a clean, organized workflow for every job.
Here’s how to handle quotes, invoices, service agreements, and payments with GoHighLevel efficiently.

- Terms and conditions
With one click, you send the quote via SMS or email.

Automated follow-up dramatically increases quote conversions without manual chasing.
Convert Approved Quotes Into Scheduled Jobs Instantly

Collecting Reviews, Testimonials & Building Trust for Plumbing Services
Trust is everything in the plumbing industry. Homeowners don’t choose a plumber randomly – they look for proof.
They search Google, read reviews, check ratings, and look for real customer experiences before making a decision.
GoHighLevel helps you collect reviews consistently, manage your online reputation, and showcase your best work across your funnels, website, and booking pages.
When done right, this creates a steady flow of new plumbing jobs from people who trust your business before you even speak to them.
Here’s how to build and automate a strong reputation system using GoHighLevel.
Send Automatic Review Requests After Every Job
Right after a job is marked as completed, GoHighLevel can send a friendly message asking for a review.
You can send:

The message can be simple:
“Thanks for choosing us! If we delivered great service, would you mind leaving a quick review? It really helps local homeowners find us.”
The easier you make it, the more reviews you get.
Follow Up Automatically If No Review Is Left
Most people don’t leave reviews the first time you ask.
A short reminder 24–48 hours later can double your review count.
Your automation can send:
- A gentle nudge
- A second link
- A thank-you message once the review is received
This keeps your reputation growing consistently.
Filter Feedback Before It Goes Public (Optional)
If someone is unhappy, you can route their feedback privately instead of pushing them to Google.
Example automation:

- If they rate 4–5 stars → send Google review link
This helps you avoid public negative reviews while addressing concerns respectfully.

This helps you close bigger contracts and stand out from competitors.
Automate Referral Requests From Happy Customers
After a positive experience, trigger a referral message.
For example:
