FAQ
Questions about these guides
Who writes the guides?
Guides are written by HighLevel Automation Team and published under Yash Patel, the founder. Each page shows when it was last updated and the sources for facts about GoHighLevel's plans, limits and prices.
How do you check facts about GoHighLevel?
Plan prices, limits and features are checked against HighLevel's own pricing page, help center and changelog, and marked 'at the time of writing' because they change. Claims we cannot verify are removed or labelled as judgment.
How often are the guides updated?
When HighLevel changes something a guide relies on, or when we find an error. The date on each page is the real date of the last content change.
Are the prices in the guides current?
They were correct on the date shown. HighLevel and other vendors change prices often, so confirm on the vendor's page before you budget.
Can I ask for a guide on a specific problem?
Yes, if you hit a GoHighLevel error or decision we have not covered, tell us on the contact page. Troubleshooting guides are written from real problems.
