What is a Snapshot in GoHighLevel?

A Snapshot is a packaged business system:

  • Funnels, websites, workflows, triggers, emails, pipelines, calendars
  • All cloned into a new client account in one click
  • You build once, reuse forever

Great for:

  • Niches (realtors, med spas, auto detailers, etc.)
  • Repeatable use cases (appointment booking, lead gen, review capture)

How to Build a SaaS with Snapshots

  1. Create or Buy a Snapshot
    • Build your own (takes time but is custom)
    • Or buy premium snapshots from other GHL users or the Template Marketplace
  2. Set Up SaaS Mode
    • Define pricing tiers (Starter, Pro, Premium)
    • Enable automatic provisioning and billing
    • Include features like support, email/SMS credits, and onboarding
  3. Brand Your Platform
    • Use the white-label domain, logo, and branding tools
    • Clients log into your URL, not GoHighLevel’s
  4. Promote Your Offer
    • Run ads or create SEO content targeting your niche
    • Highlight automation, client results, and ease of use
  5. Deliver Ongoing Value
    • Offer updates to snapshots (new workflows, email campaigns)
    • Provide strategy consulting or onboarding calls
    • Upsell support or content packs

Example: From Marketer to SaaS Founder in 30 Days

Before:

  • Freelance marketer managing campaigns manually
  • Struggled to scale, no MRR

After:

  • Bought a real estate snapshot
  • Set up SaaS Mode with 3 pricing tiers
  • Onboarded 10 clients in first month
  • Now earns recurring revenue from automated delivery

What to Include in a High-Converting Snapshot

  • Done-for-you funnel templates
  • Follow-up email and SMS sequences
  • Workflows for lead nurturing, appointment setting, or onboarding
  • Pipeline stages to track leads
  • Trigger links and calendar integrations
  • Review request automations

Who Should Build a Snapshot Business?

  • Freelancers tired of chasing projects
  • Niche experts who know their audience
  • Affiliate marketers wanting recurring income
  • Agency owners looking to scale down labor and scale up MRR

Pricing Strategy Tips

  • Keep entry-level tier accessible (e.g. $97/month)
  • Charge more for white-glove onboarding or niche customization
  • Offer limited-time bonuses (extra templates, setup calls)
  • Use annual billing for cash flow stability
