🆚 Explainer Videos vs Long Sales Pages: What Works Best for GHL Services?

Struggling to get leads through your GHL funnel? Replace or support your long-form sales page with a short explainer video—and convert faster.

🧠 The Premise: You’re Selling Something That’s Hard to Explain

GoHighLevel services aren’t simple.
Funnels, automations, dashboards—it’s not a $7 ebook.

You need something that communicates:

  • Value
  • Simplicity
  • Trust
  • Urgency

And fast.


📜 The Long Sales Page: Pros & Cons

What works:

  • SEO juice
  • Room for storytelling
  • Custom CTAs and segmentation

But...

  • Requires a lot of copywriting skill
  • Time-consuming to build
  • Skimmable, often unread
  • Can feel bloated or overhyped

🎬 Explainer Videos: Why They're Winning in 2025

Explainer videos offer:

  • 90 seconds of clarity
  • A fully visual brand experience
  • Sound, movement, tone (non-verbal persuasion)
  • Easy embedding on pages, emails, ads, GHL funnels

They:

  • Grab attention
  • Simplify logic
  • Build authority
  • Reduce bounce

Homepage above the foldExplainer video
SEO article / content upgradeLong-form page
Warm audience upsellExplainer + CTA
Retargeting funnelShort video wins

Best combo = video first, text below.


Current conversion trends show:

  • Pages with short explainer videos convert 20–40% higher than text-only
  • Mobile users prefer video explanations over walls of copy
  • Funnels with autoplay (muted) videos reduce bounce and raise time on page

💡 Bonus Tip: Combine Both

Use a video to explain.
Use text to close.

Let the explainer video warm them up, then use your long-form pitch to fill in the logic and trigger the sale.


🎯 Final Word

Writing long-form copy is hard.
Getting people to read it is harder.

A strong explainer video wins the scroll, gets the point across fast, and raises your authority.
Use both—but start with video.
