Squarespace to GoHighLevel Migration Guide

If you are moving your website from Squarespace into GoHighLevel and also use tools like ClickUp to manage projects, this step-by-step guide will help you keep everything organized. You will export your content from Squarespace, recreate your pages inside GoHighLevel, and rebuild forms so your funnels and automations continue to work smoothly.

This tutorial follows the official migration process and focuses on keeping your layouts, navigation, and forms as consistent as possible while you transition into the GoHighLevel environment.

Before You Start: What Moves to GoHighLevel

It is important to understand that GoHighLevel does not import a full Squarespace site in one click. Instead, you will copy the structure and content into the page builder.

During this process you will:

  • Export your content from Squarespace as an HTML file.
  • Open and analyze the exported HTML to understand your sections.
  • Build matching pages and sections inside GoHighLevel.
  • Recreate forms using GoHighLevel forms or surveys.

You will not bring over custom Squarespace style settings automatically, so some design tweaks will be required once the main structure is rebuilt.

Step 1: Export Content from Squarespace

The first phase is to get your current website content out of Squarespace in a usable format.

  1. Log in to your Squarespace account.

  2. Go to Settings for the site you want to migrate.

  3. Find the Advanced area, then choose the Import / Export option.

  4. Click Export and follow the prompts until your download is ready.

  5. Download the export file, which will contain your pages as HTML.

Keep this file on your computer in a place where you can quickly find it while you work inside GoHighLevel.

Step 2: Open the Exported HTML File

Next, you will open the exported file so you can see the structure of your previous site.

  1. Locate the downloaded export file from Squarespace.

  2. Open it using your preferred web browser or an HTML editor.

  3. Review the layout, text blocks, headings, images, and forms.

Use what you see as a direct reference for rebuilding each page inside GoHighLevel. You will use similar sections to recreate the layout and maintain consistent user experience.

Step 3: Create Matching Pages in GoHighLevel

Now you are ready to set up your main pages inside the GoHighLevel page builder. This is where the structure of your new site is created.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

  2. Open the Sites or Funnels section, depending on where you want the pages to live.

  3. Create a new page or funnel step for each key page you had on Squarespace, such as Home, About, Services, or Contact.

  4. Give each page a clear name so you can manage them easily later.

At this stage, do not worry too much about detailed styling; focus on replicating the structure. You will refine formatting once the content has been added.

Step 4: Map Squarespace Sections to GoHighLevel Sections

With your pages created, the next task is mapping sections from the old site to the layout options in the new builder.

  1. Open your Squarespace export in one browser tab and the matching GoHighLevel page in another.

  2. Identify major sections, such as hero banners, content rows, testimonials, or footers.

  3. Inside GoHighLevel, add rows and columns that mirror those sections.

  4. Use section titles and padding settings to recreate the overall layout.

GoHighLevel offers flexible row-based layouts, so take advantage of multiple columns and spacing tools to approximate the look and feel of your former Squarespace design.

Step 5: Copy Text and Media into GoHighLevel

Once the main sections are in place, you can begin copying the actual content into your new pages.

  1. From the exported HTML, highlight the text of a section, such as a headline or paragraph.

  2. Paste this content into the corresponding text elements in GoHighLevel.

  3. Upload images from your computer to the image elements in each section.

  4. Check alignment, fonts, and spacing, then adjust within the builder until each block looks clean.

Repeat this process for each section on every page. Short paragraphs and clear headings will improve readability and also support better search performance inside GoHighLevel.

Step 6: Recreate Forms in GoHighLevel

Forms are a critical part of your site, especially when you rely on them for lead capture and automation. Instead of copying embedded Squarespace forms, you will build new ones inside GoHighLevel.

Identify Forms from the Exported Site

First, make a list of all the forms that existed on your old website:

  • Contact forms on your main pages.
  • Newsletter or opt-in forms.
  • Application or booking request forms.

Use your HTML export to confirm the fields, labels, and any thank-you messages that were displayed.

Build New Forms in GoHighLevel

Next, recreate those forms using the native tools.

  1. In your GoHighLevel account, go to Sites and open the Forms or Surveys area.

  2. Create a new form for each old Squarespace form.

  3. Add fields that match what you previously collected, such as name, email, phone, or message.

  4. Set confirmation options, such as redirecting to a thank-you page or showing an on-page message.

Once each form is built, embed it into the relevant GoHighLevel page using the form element. Test your forms thoroughly to make sure submissions are captured and routed correctly into your CRM and automations.

Step 7: Check Navigation and Links in GoHighLevel

With content and forms in place, you should confirm that visitors can move easily through the new site.

  1. Rebuild your header navigation using buttons or menu links that point to the new pages inside GoHighLevel.

  2. Update all internal links within your text so they reference new URLs instead of older Squarespace paths.

  3. Ensure your footer links, social icons, and legal pages open correctly.

Pay attention to any buttons that previously linked to Squarespace forms or scheduling tools, and connect them to the new GoHighLevel forms or funnels you created.

Step 8: Test Your New GoHighLevel Pages

Before you direct traffic to your migrated site, complete a full review and testing cycle.

  • Open each page on desktop and mobile to confirm it displays correctly.

  • Click through the full navigation, forms, and call-to-action buttons.

  • Submit test entries through each GoHighLevel form to confirm that contacts are added properly.

  • Review automations or workflows that trigger from form submissions.

Make any final adjustments to spacing, typography, or section order until the new site feels polished and professional.
