How to Use the Mobile Survey Progress Bar in GoHighLevel

If you manage client journeys in tools like ClickUp and want a clear way to track survey completion on phones, GoHighLevel offers a built-in mobile progress bar for surveys and quizzes. This guide walks you through how the feature works, how to enable it, and how to adjust the look so your mobile respondents always know exactly where they are in the flow.

The mobile progress bar in GoHighLevel appears at the top of the survey or quiz on small screens and updates automatically as users move from one step to the next. You do not have to add custom code; you just need to configure the survey correctly in the builder.

What the GoHighLevel Mobile Progress Bar Does

The mobile progress bar in GoHighLevel is designed to improve completion rates by giving users a visual indicator of how far they have progressed. When a respondent opens your survey or quiz on a mobile device, they will see a horizontal bar that fills as they advance through each question or page.

Key behaviors of the mobile progress bar include:

• It shows on mobile devices for surveys and quizzes created in GoHighLevel.
• It updates automatically when the user moves to the next step or page.
• It reflects the number of steps or pages configured in your survey or quiz flow.
• It keeps the top of the screen clean while making progress obvious to the user.

This feature is particularly useful for longer forms where users may worry about how much time is left. With a visible progress indicator, they are more likely to finish the survey.

Where the GoHighLevel Progress Bar Appears

The progress bar is optimized for mobile layouts. It appears at the top of the survey or quiz viewport when the form is opened on smaller screens such as phones and certain tablets.

Important placement details:

• The bar is fixed to the top area of the survey interface to remain visible as users scroll.
• It appears on both surveys and quizzes created in the GoHighLevel survey builder.
• It follows the primary survey style so it looks native to your brand theme.

When users access the same survey on desktop, the layout may differ, but the intention of the progress indicator remains: clearly show completion status while keeping the experience simple.

How GoHighLevel Calculates Progress

GoHighLevel calculates the mobile progress bar based on the number of steps, pages, or grouped questions configured in your survey or quiz. Each time a respondent clicks a button such as Next to move forward, the bar increases to represent the new completion percentage.

Behind the scenes, the platform counts how many segments the survey has, then divides the progress into equal parts. For example:

• If your GoHighLevel survey has 4 pages, each page represents roughly 25% progress.
• If your quiz has 10 steps, each step adds about 10% to the progress bar.
• The final step displays the bar as fully complete, reassuring users they are done.

Because this behavior is automatic, you do not need to manually define percentages or create any formulas. The main task is to structure your survey correctly in the builder so each step is clearly separated.

Step-by-Step: Using the Mobile Progress Bar in GoHighLevel

Follow the steps below to make sure your GoHighLevel surveys and quizzes display the mobile progress bar properly.

1. Open Your Survey or Quiz in GoHighLevel

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
2. Navigate to the Sites or Funnels & Websites section, depending on how your account is structured.
3. Locate the Surveys or Forms area.
4. Select the survey or quiz you want to edit, or create a new one.

Once inside the builder, you can start shaping the questions into logical steps to take advantage of the progress bar.

2. Structure Your GoHighLevel Survey into Steps

The progress bar is most effective when your survey or quiz is broken into multiple steps or pages. In the GoHighLevel builder:

1. Group related questions together on the same step.
2. Add additional pages or steps for new sections of your survey.
3. Ensure each step has navigation options such as Next and, optionally, Previous.

The more clearly organized your steps are, the smoother the progress bar experience will feel on mobile devices.

3. Configure Mobile-Friendly Settings in GoHighLevel

Although the progress bar itself is automatic, you should still review mobile-related settings in GoHighLevel to optimize the user experience.

• Check that your survey width and layout look good on small screens.
• Ensure text sizes and buttons are large enough for touch interaction.
• Preview the survey on different device sizes from within the GoHighLevel interface.

These checks will help the progress bar display cleanly at the top of the screen without overlapping other elements.

4. Preview the Mobile Progress Bar in GoHighLevel

Before sharing your survey, preview it the way respondents will see it:

1. Click the Preview option in the GoHighLevel survey builder.
2. Switch to a mobile or narrow-screen preview mode.
3. Click through the survey steps and watch the progress bar update at the top.
4. Confirm that each step change updates the bar smoothly and that all questions are visible.

If the bar seems to jump too much or too little between steps, consider adjusting how many steps your survey uses. More steps usually make the progress feel finer and more natural.

Best Practices for GoHighLevel Mobile Surveys

To get maximum benefit from the mobile progress bar in GoHighLevel, keep a few best practices in mind when designing surveys and quizzes:

• Keep steps short: Limit each step to a handful of fields so progress feels meaningful but not overwhelming.
• Use clear labels: Make question text and button labels easy to understand on small screens.
• Minimize scrolling: Too much vertical scrolling can distract from the progress bar; break long sections into more pages instead.
• Test on real devices: View your GoHighLevel survey on actual phones to confirm that the bar remains visible and intuitive.

Adopting these practices can improve completion rates and overall user satisfaction with your mobile forms.

Troubleshooting the GoHighLevel Progress Bar

If you do not see the mobile progress bar, or if it does not behave as expected, consider these checks:

• Confirm the survey or quiz is being viewed on a mobile-sized screen.
• Verify that your GoHighLevel survey has multiple steps; single-screen forms may not need a progress bar.
• Ensure no custom code or styling is hiding elements at the top of the form.
• Update the survey and refresh your preview link to load the latest settings.
