Before you start
Make sure your GoHighLevel account is on a plan that supports snapshot deployment. If you’re not sure, log in and check Settings, or just ask us during onboarding — we check it for you.
If you don’t have GHL yet, you can sign up during onboarding. We’ll guide you through the sub-account setup so you’re not figuring it out alone.
What you’ll need to provide
- Your shop name and address — exactly as they should appear to customers and on Google.
- Your logo — SVG preferred, or a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background.
- Your brand colors — primary and accent hex codes if you have them.
- Your main shop phone number — the line customers already call. This is what we connect text-back to.
- Your service advisor’s voice — how you want texts to read (we have solid defaults; tell us your shop’s tone).
- Your hours and booking preferences — so the booking calendar and after-hours responder are accurate.
- Your Google review profile link — so the review engine points straight at the right page.
- Your service mix — general repair, brakes, diagnostics, fleet accounts, etc. — so reminders and follow-ups are tuned to what you actually do.
What happens during install
Hours 0-2 — Snapshot pushed to your GHL. Pipelines, custom fields, workflows, calendars, forms, and the shared inbox land in your sub-account.
Hours 2-8 — Templates applied. Text and email templates for booking, reminders, estimates, and reviews are populated with auto-shop defaults in your advisor’s voice.
Hours 8-18 — Phone and texting wired. We connect your main shop line, set up missed-call text-back and the after-hours responder, and start A2P 10DLC registration so your texts deliver reliably.
Hours 18-24 — Branding pass. Your shop name, logo, colors, hours, address, and Google review link are baked into every message, form, and booking page.
Day 2-3 — Walkthrough call. We screenshare your live snapshot, run a test customer end to end, and answer your questions. You ask for tweaks; we apply them.
Day 4 — Go live. First real customers run through. We monitor and tune.
After install — the first 7 days
The first week is about tuning. Watch your first batch of real customers move through and note:
- Are missed calls getting an instant text-back during the rush?
- Are appointment reminders going out at the right times?
- Are estimates sending cleanly, with photos attached?
- Are review requests firing a few hours after each RO is closed?
We monitor alongside you and apply tweaks during the support window included with your snapshot.
After install — the first 30 days
By day 30, the snapshot should be producing:
- Recovered jobs from missed calls that used to go to voicemail.
- A steadily climbing Google review count and rating.
- Higher estimate approval from photo-backed, one-tap estimates.
- Fewer no-shows thanks to automated reminders.
- The first lapsed customers coming back from reactivation messages.
If something isn’t happening by day 30, we treat it as a setup issue and fix it — not your problem to debug.
No subscription to us
The snapshot is one-time pricing — $997, paid once. There’s no recurring fee to us. Your only ongoing cost is your GoHighLevel subscription, which you pay directly to GHL. If you ever decide GHL isn’t for you, you stop paying GHL and that’s the end of it. We’re not charging you month after month.
