GoHighLevel Bubble Style Guide for Radio and Checkbox Fields

When you want forms to look as organized as ClickUp tasks and just as easy to scan, the bubble style option in GoHighLevel forms and surveys is a powerful layout choice. This guide walks you step by step through enabling and configuring bubble style for radio buttons and checkboxes so you can create cleaner, more modern client-facing experiences.

What Is Bubble Style in GoHighLevel?

In GoHighLevel, bubble style is a visual layout mode for radio and checkbox elements in forms and surveys. Instead of showing items in a basic stacked list, bubble style displays each choice in its own visual block, or “bubble,” making complex option groups easier to read.

Bubble style is especially useful when:

  • You have many related options that need clear grouping.
  • You want to reduce clutter and improve scanning.
  • You want a more app-like interface for respondents.

Where Bubble Style Works Inside GoHighLevel

You can use bubble style on:

  • Form builder radio fields
  • Form builder checkbox fields
  • Survey builder radio fields
  • Survey builder checkbox fields

The setup is almost identical in both builders, and once enabled your elements will be displayed using the bubble layout for the end user.

How to Enable Bubble Style for Radio Elements in GoHighLevel

Follow these steps to turn a standard radio element into a bubble-style selection inside the form builder.

Step 1: Open Your Form in GoHighLevel

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Navigate to Sites > Forms.
  3. Edit an existing form or create a new one, then open it in the form builder.

Step 2: Add or Select a Radio Element

  1. From the left-side panel, drag a Radio element onto the form canvas, or click on an existing radio field to edit it.
  2. Ensure the radio field has all the options you want to display as bubbles.

Step 3: Change Layout to Bubble Style

  1. With the radio element selected, look to the right-side settings panel.
  2. Find the Layout or Style controls for the field.
  3. Change the display type from the default list layout to Bubble.

Once you switch the layout to bubble style, each radio option will display as a separate bubble when the form is previewed or used live.

How to Enable Bubble Style for Checkbox Elements in GoHighLevel

Checkbox fields support bubble style as well, letting users select multiple items from a visually separated grid of options.

Step 1: Open the Form Builder

  1. In GoHighLevel, go to Sites > Forms.
  2. Open the form where you want bubble style checkboxes.

Step 2: Add or Select a Checkbox Field

  1. Drag a Checkbox element onto your form canvas, or select an existing checkbox field.
  2. Configure all the option labels and values you need before switching the layout.

Step 3: Apply Bubble Style Layout

  1. With the checkbox field highlighted, locate its settings on the right.
  2. Find the layout or style selection menu.
  3. Choose the Bubble option as the display style for the checkbox list.

After enabling this, your checkbox options will appear as a set of bubbles that users can toggle on or off instead of standard checkboxes in a vertical list.

Configuring Bubble Style in GoHighLevel Surveys

Bubble style is also useful for survey elements, giving respondents a more engaging way to answer questions with multiple options.

Using Bubble Style with Survey Radio Elements

  1. Go to the Survey builder inside GoHighLevel.
  2. Add a Radio question to your survey.
  3. Open the question settings on the right panel.
  4. Locate the layout options and switch the element to Bubble style.
  5. Preview the survey to confirm each radio choice appears as a bubble.

Using Bubble Style with Survey Checkbox Elements

  1. In the survey builder, insert a Checkbox type question.
  2. Edit the choices for the question as usual.
  3. Open the layout configuration on the right-hand side.
  4. Select the bubble layout to convert each checkbox into a bubble.
  5. Save and preview to ensure the display matches your expectations.

Best Practices for Bubble Style Layouts in GoHighLevel

To get the best possible user experience from bubble style radio and checkbox fields, keep the following recommendations in mind.

Limit the Number of Options Per Bubble Group

Although GoHighLevel can display many bubbles, huge lists can still overwhelm users. Whenever possible:

  • Group related options into separate elements.
  • Use multiple questions instead of one giant list.
  • Keep each bubble group focused on one clear decision.

Use Clear, Short Labels

Each bubble is most effective with concise labels:

  • Aim for one or two words when possible.
  • Avoid paragraphs inside a bubble label.
  • Use descriptive but short terms like “Basic,” “Standard,” “Premium.”

Check Mobile Layouts in GoHighLevel

Bubble style can change the way elements wrap on smaller screens. Always:

  • Preview your forms and surveys on mobile.
  • Ensure bubbles do not get too narrow or clipped.
  • Reorder or shorten labels if wrapping looks awkward.

Maintain Logical Grouping

Since bubbles emphasize each option visually, the grouping and order become more important. You should:

  • Place the most common choices first.
  • Separate unrelated topics into different fields.
  • Use headings or explanatory text between groups when necessary.

Troubleshooting Bubble Style Issues in GoHighLevel

If the bubble layout is not appearing the way you expect, review these common points.

Bubble Layout Not Showing

  • Confirm that you selected the correct field (radio or checkbox) in the builder.
  • Recheck the layout setting to ensure Bubble is selected and saved.
  • Clear browser cache and reload the form or survey preview.

Spacing or Alignment Problems

  • Reduce the number of options per field.
  • Shorten labels to avoid line breaks that push bubbles off balance.
  • Test in different browsers to verify it is not a local rendering issue.

Options Overlapping or Wrapping Poorly

  • Check your global form styling, padding, and margins in GoHighLevel.
  • Avoid extremely long single words that cannot wrap gracefully.
  • Adjust the width of the form container on your page so bubbles have room.
