Get Started with GoHighLevel Blogs

If you are moving content from tools like ClickUp and want a simple publishing system, the default blog flow in GoHighLevel makes it easy to create, edit, and publish blog posts inside any site or funnel. This step-by-step guide walks you through the full blogging workflow so you can launch content quickly and keep everything organized in one place.

Overview of the GoHighLevel Blog Flow

The blog feature in GoHighLevel lets you manage posts from a central list, then connect them to a blog page on your website or funnel. You can:

  • Create and manage posts from the Blog Posts list view
  • Design the layout using the Blog Posts List element
  • Preview, draft, and publish posts in a few clicks

All blog content lives inside your existing GoHighLevel site or funnel, so you do not need a separate blogging platform.

Accessing the Default GoHighLevel Blog Setup

Before creating posts, confirm that your workspace has the default blog structure enabled.

  1. Open your Sites or Funnels section in GoHighLevel.
  2. Select the site or funnel where you want to host your blog.
  3. Look for a page or step labeled Blog or similar, which usually includes a Blog Posts List element.

If you do not see a blog page, you can add a new page and insert the Blog Posts List element manually within the GoHighLevel builder.

Using the GoHighLevel Blog Posts List View

The Blog Posts list view is the main control center for your content. From here, you can create, filter, and manage every post connected to your GoHighLevel site or funnel.

Navigating to the GoHighLevel Blog Posts List

  1. In your GoHighLevel dashboard, go to the Sites area.
  2. Select Blogs or Blog Posts, depending on your interface layout.
  3. You will see a table listing all current posts with key details like title, URL, status, and last updated time.

This view gives you a clear overview of which posts are drafts, which are published, and which need updates.

Understanding Blog Post Statuses in GoHighLevel

Each blog post in GoHighLevel can have different states to match your publishing workflow:

  • Draft – A post you are still editing. It is not visible on the live site.
  • Published – A live post displayed on your blog page or list.
  • Unpublished – A post you have taken offline but kept in the system for future use.

You can switch between these states directly from the Blog Posts list view or inside the individual editor.

Creating a New Blog Post in GoHighLevel

Follow these steps to create a new blog article using the default flow.

  1. Go to the Blog Posts list view in GoHighLevel.
  2. Click New or Create Post (button name may vary slightly).
  3. Enter your Post Title. This will normally be used to generate the blog post URL slug.
  4. Add a Featured Image if your design supports post thumbnails on the list page.
  5. Fill in your main Content using headings, paragraphs, and media in the editor.
  6. Set any additional details such as Author, Publish Date, or Excerpt, based on the options available in your GoHighLevel account.

Save your work frequently as a draft while you are still writing and adjusting the layout.

Editing Existing GoHighLevel Blog Posts

You can easily update a published or draft post at any time from the GoHighLevel blog interface.

  1. Open the Blog Posts list view.
  2. Click on the Title of the post you want to edit.
  3. Update your text, images, or settings inside the editor.
  4. Save your changes and choose whether to keep the post as draft or publish it.

Edits to published posts will update on the live site once you save them, following the standard GoHighLevel update behavior for pages and content.

Previewing a GoHighLevel Blog Post Before Publishing

Previewing is essential to confirm that your article looks correct in the final layout.

  1. Open the blog post in the editor from the Blog Posts list view.
  2. Look for the Preview option or link within the editor toolbar.
  3. Click Preview to open the post in a new tab in preview mode.
  4. Check formatting, images, links, and responsiveness across devices.

If something does not look right, return to the editor in GoHighLevel, adjust the content or design, and preview again.

Publishing a Blog Post in GoHighLevel

Once the content looks correct, you can publish it so that it appears on your live blog page.

  1. Open the blog post from the Blog Posts list view.
  2. Confirm that all fields such as title, slug, and featured image are complete.
  3. Set the post status to Published.
  4. Click Save or Update to apply the status change.
  5. Visit your live blog page to verify the post appears in the Blog Posts List element.

Published posts will automatically show up wherever the blog component is configured within your GoHighLevel site or funnel.

Managing the GoHighLevel Blog Posts List Component

The Blog Posts List element controls how posts are displayed on your public blog page.

  1. Open your Site or Funnel inside the GoHighLevel builder.
  2. Navigate to the page or step that contains your blog listing.
  3. Select the Blog Posts List element.
  4. Adjust settings such as:
    • Number of posts per page
    • Sort order (e.g., newest first)
    • Which fields display (title, date, image, excerpt)
  5. Save and preview to confirm the design looks correct.

Changes here affect how all related posts are shown to visitors, without editing each individual article.

Best Practices for Organizing GoHighLevel Blog Content

To keep your blog scalable as you add more posts, use a consistent structure in GoHighLevel.

  • Use clear, descriptive titles for easy searching and sorting.
  • Maintain a standard format for introductions and calls to action.
  • Group related articles logically, especially if you use multiple blog pages or categories.
  • Review the Blog Posts list view regularly to remove outdated drafts and keep the list clean.
