How these businesses actually use HighLevel
As a Certified Admin in this category, you build lead-to-client-to-renewal systems.
Typical setups include:
- lead capture and qualification
- booking flows for calls
- nurture sequences for non-buyers
- onboarding for new clients
- check-ins, progress tracking and retention workflows
- optional course or membership access delivery
Most problems are not technical. They are “the business has no process.” You turn that into a process.
Primary services you should focus on
Automation & Integrations
This is usually your strongest primary service here.
It includes:
- onboarding sequences and task automation
- segmentation based on offers and stages
- handoff workflows from sales to delivery
- integrations for calendars, payments and forms
Marketing & Funnels
Strong supporting service.
It includes:
- lead magnets and application funnels
- webinar or workshop registration flows
- application, booking and follow-up logic
Optional supporting service if it matches your plan:
- Courses, Memberships & Ecommerce
Avoid listing Paid Ads unless you actually want to own acquisition outcomes.
Credentials that matter in business, coaching and consulting
Funnel Builder
Why it matters:
- consultants need a clean conversion path
- funnels reduce manual chasing
- the business needs predictable intake
Lead Capture Systems
Useful for:
- applications and qualification
- segmenting leads by offer type
- routing follow-up correctly
Course Creator
Relevant if you support:
- memberships
- group programs
- digital content delivery
This credential is a strong filter for admins who want to own education workflows.
Ai Tech Stack (optional)
Useful when:
- the business has high inbound questions
- they want faster responses without staff load
- you already have clear FAQs and offer boundaries
Do not start here if the business has no clear offer. AI will not fix confusion.

What your real work looks like day to day
Expect to:
- map the client journey and define stages
- build tagging and segmentation rules
- write or implement email and SMS sequences
- create onboarding checklists and automations
- maintain forms, calendars and payment steps
- review what is working each month and adjust
You will spend more time refining systems than building from scratch.
Cost and effort awareness for this path
This path is usually not “message volume heavy,” but it is “thinking heavy.”
You should expect:
- more planning time
- more revisions based on offer changes
- less pressure from peaks, more pressure from clarity
If you price only by build time, you will undercharge. The value is the lifecycle.

Language skills, when they help
Language can be a serious advantage if the coach serves:
- French (Canada) or French (France) markets
- Spanish or Portuguese audiences
- bilingual local communities
Only list languages you can support in written communication and call context.
Common mistakes future admins make
- building automation before the offer is defined
- creating too many funnels instead of one clear path
- mixing onboarding and marketing sequences
- overcomplicating memberships and access rules
Simple systems win. If the client cannot understand it, they will not use it.
Is this a good certification path for you?
Yes, if:
- you like turning ideas into repeatable systems
- you can handle “it depends” conversations
- you enjoy improving retention and client experience
No, if:
- you want fast wins only
- you hate revisiting work after launch
Your next step
If this path fits:
- choose Automation & Integrations as your primary service
- add Marketing & Funnels as your supporting service
- plan credentials around your delivery model, usually Funnel Builder, Lead Capture Systems and often Course Creator
- practice building one end-to-end journey, lead capture to onboarding to renewal
Certification pays off when you pick a lane and stay consistent.
