Step 1: Navigate to Your GoHighLevel Funnel Page

The first step is to get into the specific GoHighLevel funnel page where you want your pop-up to appear. This is where all the magic starts!

1.1 Access Your GoHighLevel Account

1.2 Find Your Funnels

In the left-hand menu, click on “Sites”. This section is where you manage all your funnels and websites. After clicking “Sites,” select “Funnels” from the sub-menu.

1.3 Select the Desired Funnel

You’ll now see a list of all your existing funnels. Locate the specific funnel where you want to add the pop-up and click on its name to open it. This will show you all the steps within that funnel.

1.4 Edit the Funnel Step

Within your chosen funnel, find the specific page (funnel step) where you want the pop-up to display. Click the “Edit” button (often represented by a pencil icon) next to that page and then select “Edit Page”. This will open the GoHighLevel page builder, ready for you to start adding your pop-up.

Step 2: Open the Pop-up Builder

Once you’re inside the page builder for your chosen funnel step, accessing the pop-up builder is a breeze.

2.1 Locate the Pop-up Button

Look at the top of the GoHighLevel page editor. You’ll see several icons and options. One of these options is clearly labeled “PopUp”. It might also have an icon that looks like a small window or a box appearing on top of another. Click on this “PopUp” button.

2.2 Activate or Open the Pop-up

If you haven’t added a pop-up to this specific page before, clicking “PopUp” will automatically open the pop-up editor, and you might see a blank canvas. If you’ve previously added a pop-up, clicking this button will open its settings and allow you to edit its content.

Practical Tip: You can only have one pop-up per funnel page in GoHighLevel. If you need multiple pop-up styles or offers, consider using different pages or advanced custom code, which is beyond this easy guide.

Step 3: Design Your GoHighLevel Pop-up Content

Now comes the fun part: designing what your pop-up will actually say and look like! The GoHighLevel editor functions similarly for both pages and pop-ups, making it intuitive.

3.1 Add Rows and Columns

Just like designing a regular page, you’ll start by adding rows and columns to structure your pop-up. Click on the “+” icon (Add Element) or the green “Add Row” button within the pop-up editor. Choose your desired row layout (e.g., 1 Column, 2 Columns).

3.2 Add Elements to Your Pop-up

Once you have your rows and columns, you can start adding various elements. Click the “+” icon within a column to see the element options. Common elements you might want to add include:

Headline: To grab attention (e.g., “Don’t Miss Out!”).
Paragraph: To provide more information or detail the offer.
Image: To make it visually appealing or show a product.
Form: Crucial for lead capture! Select an existing form or create a new one. This is how you’ll collect email addresses and other contact info.
Button: For your Call-to-Action (e.g., “Get Instant Access,” “Download Now”).
Video: If you want to include a short explainer or testimonial.

3.3 Customize Element Styles

Click on any element you’ve added to open its settings panel on the right. Here you can:

Change Text: Type in your headlines, paragraphs, and button text.
Adjust Fonts and Colors: Match your brand’s style.
Set Backgrounds: For rows, columns, or even individual elements.
Add Padding and Margins: To control spacing and layout.
Configure Forms: Select which form to use and its settings.
Link Buttons: Decide where your button leads (e.g., another funnel step, an external URL, or submit the form).

Practical Tip: Keep your pop-up copy concise and your call-to-action clear. Users are more likely to engage with a pop-up that quickly communicates its value proposition.

Step 4: Configure Pop-up Settings and Triggers

Designing the look is one thing, but making your GoHighLevel pop-up appear at the right time is equally important. This is controlled in the pop-up settings.

4.1 Access Pop-up Settings

While still in the pop-up editor (the view where you design your pop-up), look for the “Settings” tab or icon, usually located near the top or side of the pop-up editing area. Click on it.

4.2 Define Trigger Conditions

This is where you tell GoHighLevel when to show your pop-up. You’ll find options like:

On Page Load: The pop-up appears immediately when the page loads.
On Timer: The pop-up appears after a specified number of seconds (e.g., 5 seconds).
On Scroll: The pop-up appears after the user scrolls a certain percentage down the page (e.g., 50%).
On Exit Intent: Highly effective! The pop-up appears when GoHighLevel detects that the user is about to leave the page (e.g., moving their mouse cursor towards the browser’s close button).

Select the trigger condition that best suits your goal. For most lead capture pop-ups, “On Exit Intent” or “On Timer” (with a delay of 5-10 seconds) often yield good results.

4.3 Adjust Pop-up Display Settings

You’ll also find other important settings here:

Animation: Choose how the pop-up appears (e.g., fade in, slide from top).
Background Overlay Color: Customize the dimmed background that appears behind your pop-up.
Width/Height: Adjust the overall size of your pop-up.
Close Button: Ensure your pop-up has a visible and easy-to-click close button (an “X”). This is crucial for user experience and can prevent frustration.
Frequency: Some advanced settings might allow you to control how often the pop-up appears to the same user.

Practical Tip: Test different trigger conditions to see which performs best for your audience and offer. A/B testing is your best friend here!

Step 5: Review, Save, and Publish Your GoHighLevel Pop-up

You’ve designed it, you’ve set the triggers, now it’s time to make it live!

5.1 Save Your Pop-up Changes

Within the pop-up editor, ensure you click the “Save” button frequently. This usually saves the content and settings of your pop-up.

5.2 Exit the Pop-up Editor

Once you’re satisfied with your pop-up, you’ll need to exit the pop-up editing mode to return to your main page editor. This is often done by clicking an “X” or “Close” button within the pop-up’s top bar.

5.3 Save the Funnel Page

This is a critical step! Even after saving the pop-up itself, you MUST save the entire funnel page to ensure your pop-up settings and content are applied to the live page. Look for the main “Save” button in the top right corner of the GoHighLevel page editor (the one for the overall page, not just the pop-up).

5.4 Preview Your Page

Before publishing, always preview your funnel page. Click the “Preview” icon (often an eye symbol) in the top bar of the page editor. This will open your live page in a new tab, allowing you to test the pop-up’s appearance and trigger conditions. Make sure it looks good and functions as expected on both desktop and mobile devices.

5.5 Publish Your Changes (If Necessary)

If your funnel page is already live, saving it will apply your pop-up changes immediately. If it’s a new page or you’ve made other significant changes, you might need to ensure the page is published or enabled within your GoHighLevel funnel steps.

Troubleshooting Common Pop-up Issues in GoHighLevel

Even with an easy guide, sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned. Here are a few common issues and their solutions:

My Pop-up Isn’t Showing Up!

Did you save the PAGE? This is the most common mistake. After designing and saving the pop-up, you MUST click the main “Save” button for the entire funnel page.
Check Trigger Settings: Double-check the pop-up’s trigger conditions. Is it set to “On Timer” for 60 seconds, and you’re only waiting 5? Is “On Exit Intent” working correctly for your browser?
Cache Issues: Sometimes your browser’s cache can prevent updated content from showing. Try clearing your browser’s cache or opening the page in an incognito/private window.
Pop-up Blockers: Very rarely, aggressive browser extensions might block pop-ups. Test on a different browser or device.

My Pop-up Looks Bad on Mobile!

Mobile View in Editor: Use the desktop/mobile toggle button at the top of the GoHighLevel editor to switch to mobile view. Adjust element sizes, fonts, padding, and column stacking specifically for mobile.
Too Many Elements: Simplify your pop-up for mobile. Less is often more.
Image Sizing: Ensure images are responsive or properly sized for smaller screens.

The Form in My Pop-up Isn’t Working!

Form Selected: Did you actually add a “Form” element and select a specific form from your GoHighLevel account within its settings?
Form Fields Mapped: Ensure your form fields are correctly mapped to custom fields in GoHighLevel if you’re collecting unique data.
Button Action: If you have a button, make sure its “Link To” action is set to “Submit Form” if you want it to submit the pop-up’s form.
Automations: Check your form’s automations to ensure leads are being processed as expected after submission.
