How to Update Blog Post SEO in GoHighLevel

Managing content across tools like ClickUp and your funnel or website platform can be easier when you understand how GoHighLevel handles search optimization. This guide walks you step by step through updating blog post SEO fields so your content can rank better and look professional in search results and social shares.

All instructions here are based on the official GoHighLevel help documentation and focus specifically on the built-in blog SEO options, including titles, descriptions, slugs, and featured images.

Where GoHighLevel Blog SEO Settings Live

Each blog article in GoHighLevel includes its own SEO configuration panel. This panel controls the information search engines and social media platforms see when they crawl or share your post.

You will adjust SEO directly from the blog editor in your sub-account, not from the main agency-level dashboard. The SEO options are available for every individual article you create.

Access Your Blog Post in GoHighLevel

Before you can update metadata, you need to open the correct blog post inside GoHighLevel. Follow these steps from your sub-account:

  1. Go to your site or funnel section where blogs are managed.
  2. Locate the blog area or blog list associated with your site.
  3. Find the blog post you want to optimize.
  4. Open the blog post editor to view its details.

Inside the editor you will see sections for content, settings, and SEO-related options that affect how the post appears externally.

Open the GoHighLevel SEO Settings Panel

Once the blog post is open, look for the SEO or settings tab attached to that article. In GoHighLevel this appears as a dedicated SEO configuration area that lets you set:

  • The search engine title
  • The meta description
  • The post URL slug
  • The featured image used for search and social
  • Preview information for social platforms

These fields map directly to what Google, other search engines, and social networks will display when your blog post is indexed or shared.

Set the SEO Title for Your GoHighLevel Blog Post

The SEO title is often the first element users see in search results. It can be different from your on-page blog title if you want more control over how it appears in search.

  1. In the blog SEO settings section, find the field labeled for the SEO or meta title.
  2. Enter a concise, descriptive title that clearly matches the content of the post.
  3. Keep it within common search engine length limits (roughly 50–60 characters) so it does not get cut off.
  4. Include your primary keyword or phrase that best describes the article topic.

After saving, this SEO title will be used when the blog post is shown in search result pages instead of just the internal post title.

Write a Strong Meta Description in GoHighLevel

The meta description summarizes the content of your article for users and search engines. In GoHighLevel, this field is editable for every blog entry.

  1. Locate the meta description field in the blog SEO section.
  2. Write 1–2 short sentences that explain the benefit of reading the post.
  3. Aim for around 150–160 characters so the description is not truncated in search results.
  4. Use natural language that encourages clicks without overusing keywords.

This description does not directly change rankings on its own, but it strongly affects click-through rate, which can influence overall performance.

Customize the Blog Post URL Slug in GoHighLevel

The URL slug is the part of the web address that appears after your domain. GoHighLevel allows you to customize this slug for each blog article.

  1. Find the URL or slug field in the blog SEO settings.
  2. Enter a short, readable slug using lowercase letters and hyphens.
  3. Avoid special characters and keep it focused on the main topic of the article.
  4. Do not change slugs of live posts without planning redirects, as it can break existing links.

A clean slug structure helps both users and search engines understand what your GoHighLevel blog post is about.

Choose a Featured Image for GoHighLevel Blog SEO

Your featured image is used not only on the blog page layout but also in search and social media previews when supported. GoHighLevel lets you assign or change this image for each post.

  1. In the blog editor, find the featured image or thumbnail section.
  2. Upload a new image or select an existing asset from your media library.
  3. Use clear, high-resolution images that visually represent the article topic.
  4. Ensure the image meets recommended size and aspect ratio for your theme or template.

This image may appear in Google Discover, rich results, and social shares, so it is an important part of your overall blog SEO strategy.

Configure Social Share Preview in GoHighLevel

Beyond basic search optimization, GoHighLevel allows you to adjust how your blog post looks when shared on platforms like Facebook or other social networks that read open graph data.

  1. In the SEO or social preview section of the blog settings, look for social-specific title and description fields if available.
  2. Confirm the correct featured image is selected for sharing.
  3. Adjust the title or description for social to be more engaging if needed, while still reflecting the same content.
  4. Use the built-in preview, when available, to see how the post will appear when shared.

These social preview elements rely on the information you set in GoHighLevel and help control how users see your content outside of your website.

Save and Publish Your GoHighLevel SEO Changes

After editing all SEO fields for your blog article, you must save those changes so they apply to the live page.

  1. Review the SEO title, meta description, slug, and featured image for accuracy.
  2. Click the save or update button inside the blog editor.
  3. If the blog post is new, publish it so search engines can discover it.
  4. If you modified an existing post, allow some time for search engines and social platforms to recrawl and update their previews.

Keep in mind that cached previews on social networks may take a moment to refresh even after your GoHighLevel settings have been updated.

Best Practices for Ongoing GoHighLevel Blog SEO

Using the built-in tools effectively improves visibility and user experience for each article. Consider the following ongoing practices:

  • Audit older posts periodically and refresh titles and descriptions when the content changes.
  • Maintain consistent naming conventions for slugs and titles across your entire GoHighLevel blog.
  • Update featured images when you improve branding or design assets.
  • Monitor performance with analytics tools and refine your SEO text based on real user behavior.

By standardizing these tasks, you make it easier to manage content across many posts in GoHighLevel.
