How to Create a Landing Page in GoHighLevel (2026 Step-by-Step)
Quick Answer
A complete step-by-step guide to creating a converting landing page in GoHighLevel in 2026 — covering template selection, page editing, mobile optimisation, form setup, and publishing with a custom domain.
Key Takeaways
- 1GoHighLevel's page builder is drag-and-drop — no coding required to create professional landing pages
- 2Start with a template, not a blank page — templates are built for conversion and are much faster to customise
- 3Always check the mobile view before publishing — 80%+ of UAE traffic comes from smartphones
- 4The most important element on any landing page is the form — ask only for Name + WhatsApp number to maximise conversions
- 5Connect a custom domain so your landing page appears at offer.yourbusiness.com instead of a generic GHL URL
Step 1: Create a new funnel
- In your GHL sub-account, go to Sites → Funnels → + Create Funnel
- Name your funnel (e.g., "Dubai Property Guide — April 2026")
- Click Create Funnel
Step 2: Add your landing page step
- Click + Add New Step
- Name it "Landing Page" and set the URL path (e.g., /dubai-property-guide)
- Click Select Template
- Choose a template that matches your goal:
- For lead capture: "Opt-In" templates
- For appointment booking: "Booking" templates
- For selling a product/service: "Sales" templates
- Click Select to load the template
Using Funnel AI (2026 feature)
If you prefer to start from AI-generated content rather than a blank template:
- When adding a step, look for the Generate with AI option
- Describe your offer in plain language: "Dubai real estate investment guide for expats, offering a free PDF guide, targeting professionals earning AED 15,000+ per month"
- Funnel AI generates a complete page with copy, layout, and form in under a minute
- Review and edit — the AI version is a first draft, not a final product
Step 3: Edit your landing page content
Click Edit to open the page builder. The key elements to customise:
Headline (most important element)
Your headline should answer: "What do I get and why should I care?" in one sentence.
- Weak: "Welcome to Our Website"
- Strong: "Get Your Free 2026 Dubai Property Investment Guide — Even If You've Never Bought Property Before"
Sub-headline
Clarify who it's for and what they get: "For UAE expats and residents looking to invest in Dubai — download the guide and discover how to earn 6–8% rental yields on your first investment."
Form setup
- Click the form element in the builder → Edit Form
- Keep fields to: First Name + WhatsApp Number (+ Email optional)
- Every extra field reduces conversions — less is more
- Change the CTA button text from "Submit" to something specific: "Send Me The Free Guide"
Social proof
Add one short testimonial near the form: "[Name], Dubai — 'This guide helped me understand the property market. I bought my first apartment 3 months later.'"
Step 4: Check mobile view
Click the Mobile icon in the builder toolbar to preview the mobile version. Check:
- Is the headline readable without zooming?
- Is the form input large enough to tap easily?
- Is the CTA button visible without scrolling?
- Are images loading correctly on mobile?
Fix any issues in mobile view — this affects 80%+ of your traffic in UAE.
Step 5: Add a thank-you page
- Back in funnel view: + Add New Step → name it "Thank You Page"
- Edit with a clear confirmation: "Your guide is on its way to your WhatsApp! Check for a message from us in the next 5 minutes."
- Add a next step suggestion: "While you wait — book a free 15-minute consultation here: [booking link]"
Step 6: Connect automation and publish
- Ensure your Workflow (form submission → WhatsApp message) is already created and active
- Test: submit your own form, verify the WhatsApp arrives
- Publish: Settings → Domain → assign your custom domain (e.g., offer.yourbusiness.com)
- Share your funnel URL in Instagram bio, WhatsApp status, Google Business Profile, and ad campaigns
- Start with a template or Funnel AI — never a blank page
- Your headline is your most important element — make it benefit-specific, not vague
- Ask only for Name + WhatsApp — every extra field reduces conversions
- Always check mobile view — 80%+ of UAE users are on smartphones
- Test the form submission and automation before running any paid traffic
