How to Clone an Ad Campaign in GoHighLevel Ad Manager

If you use ClickUp to organize your workflows and need a reliable way to duplicate ad setups, understanding how to clone campaigns in GoHighLevel will save you time. This guide walks you through each step to quickly copy an existing campaign inside the Ad Manager so you can launch variants, test new audiences, and keep your ad structure consistent.

Cloning a campaign in GoHighLevel does not recreate the ads themselves. Instead, it copies the campaign-level settings and structure so you can rebuild or adjust ads on top of a proven framework. Follow the instructions below to use this feature correctly.

What Cloning a Campaign Does in GoHighLevel

Before you start, it is important to understand what the clone function actually copies and what it does not. This prevents confusion when you open the new campaign and see empty ad groups.

When you clone a campaign in the GoHighLevel Ad Manager:

• The campaign structure is duplicated.
• Basic configuration options are kept the same.
• Linked ad accounts and platforms are preserved where applicable.

However, there are key limitations:

• Ads are not cloned.
• You must manually create or import ads into the new campaign.
• Some platform-specific settings may need to be reviewed.

Keep this behavior in mind as you follow the steps below inside your GoHighLevel account.

How to Open the GoHighLevel Ad Manager

To access the cloning option, you will first need to open the advertising section of the platform.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account with an account that has permission to manage ads.

2. From the left-hand navigation menu, locate and click on Ads or Ad Manager, depending on your interface layout.

3. Wait for the Ad Manager dashboard to load. Here you will see a list of your existing campaigns for connected ad platforms.

Once your campaigns are visible, you are ready to select the one you want to copy.

Steps to Clone an Existing GoHighLevel Campaign

After opening Ad Manager, use the following steps to clone a campaign. These actions mirror the behavior described in the official documentation.

1. In the campaign list, locate the campaign that you want to duplicate.

2. On the right side of that campaign row, click the three-dot options menu (often represented as a vertical ellipsis).

3. From the dropdown menu, select Clone Campaign. This will create a new campaign with the same configuration.

4. Wait for the new cloned campaign to appear in your campaigns list. It will usually have a similar name with a prefix or suffix indicating that it is a copy.

After the clone is created, you can open it to verify the settings and make adjustments.

Editing Your Cloned GoHighLevel Campaign

Once the cloning is complete, you should customize the new campaign so you can track and manage it separately.

1. Click on the cloned campaign name in the GoHighLevel Ad Manager to open its details.

2. Update the campaign name to something descriptive. For example, you might append the audience, location, or test variation.

3. Review the campaign settings such as objective, budget, schedule, and targeting defaults.

4. Adjust any settings that should be different from the original campaign, such as daily budgets or start and end dates.

Remember that the cloned structure gives you a head start, but every new campaign should be reviewed to ensure accuracy before you add ads or turn it on.

Important Limitation: Ads Are Not Cloned in GoHighLevel

According to the official Ad Manager documentation for GoHighLevel, the cloning feature does not copy the ads contained within the original campaign. This means:

• The campaign-level shell is duplicated.
• Any ad groups or ad sets may need to be reconfigured, depending on your ad platform.
• You must recreate or import ads into the new campaign.

Because of this, do not expect to see your original ads automatically appear inside the cloned campaign. Plan time to rebuild ad creatives, copy, and targeting at the ad level.

Best Practices When Cloning Campaigns in GoHighLevel

To get the most out of the clone feature, consider incorporating these best practices into your workflow:

• Use a clear naming convention: Add labels such as “Test”, “Variant B”, or a date stamp to your cloned campaigns.
• Clone only proven structures: Use this feature primarily for campaigns that are already performing well to maintain consistency.
• Verify budget and schedule: Ensure you are not accidentally overspending by running multiple similar campaigns simultaneously.
• Rebuild ads strategically: Since ads must be recreated, take advantage of the opportunity to test new images, headlines, and offers.

By following these practices, the clone function in GoHighLevel can become a key part of your testing and scaling process.

When to Use Cloning in GoHighLevel

You will usually want to clone a campaign when:

• You want to test a new audience with the same structure.
• You need to duplicate a successful setup for a different location.
• You are running seasonal or limited-time promotions based on previous campaigns.
• You want to organize variations without editing the original campaign.

Each cloned campaign can act as a template, helping you standardize your workflows across multiple accounts or clients.

Verifying Results After Cloning in GoHighLevel

After you finish cloning and editing, you should perform a short quality check to make sure everything is running correctly.

1. Confirm that the campaign name clearly indicates that it is a new version.

2. Double-check budgets, dates, and objectives.

3. Create or import the necessary ads into the new campaign and ensure they comply with platform policies.

4. Turn the campaign on and monitor performance for the first 24–48 hours.

This review protects you from launching campaigns with incorrect settings or missing creatives.
