What Is a GoHighLevel Snapshot?
A snapshot is a pre-configured subaccount template. It bundles every critical component of a client system:
- Funnels, landing pages, and websites
- Automated workflows for lead nurturing, onboarding, and follow-ups
- CRM pipelines, custom fields, and tags
- Forms, surveys, and calendars
- Email/SMS templates and membership sites
Snapshots deploy into new accounts in minutes, letting agencies replicate builds without starting from scratch. They are the foundation for SaaS-mode or white-label services.
Why Snapshots Matter for Agencies
Snapshots bring four main advantages:
- Efficiency – Build once, deploy to 10, 100, or 1,000 clients.
- Consistency – Every client starts with a proven system and best practices.
- Revenue – Turn services into recurring SaaS-style subscriptions.
- Scalability – Support more clients without increasing staff or hours.
Instead of trading time for money, agencies can scale by delivering repeatable products.

Common Snapshot Use Cases
Agencies create snapshots tailored for niches or client needs:
- Local businesses: Lead generation funnels, calendar setups, review systems
- Niche SaaS offers: Fitness studios, dental offices, real estate teams, trades
- Info product delivery: Online courses, memberships, or coaching platforms
- Agency starter packs: CRM + automation + reporting dashboards for new clients
Snapshots are reusable for multiple clients while keeping deployment fast and consistent.

What Snapshots Do NOT Include
Certain data must be configured manually for security:
- External integrations like Stripe, Google, or Facebook
- Client-specific data: contacts, messages, and appointments
- Reputation history or past campaign data
This ensures privacy while keeping the snapshot system secure.
