How to Update Countdown Timer Labels in GoHighLevel

If you manage multiple platforms like ClickUp for task tracking and GoHighLevel for marketing automation, keeping your funnel elements clear and consistent is essential. This guide explains step by step how to update countdown timer labels inside the GoHighLevel funnel and page builder so your timers display the exact wording you want for days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

The instructions below are based on the official GoHighLevel documentation and walk you through the interface so you can quickly customize labels for any campaign.

Understanding Countdown Timers in GoHighLevel

Within GoHighLevel, the countdown timer element is available in the funnel and website page builder. It helps you create urgency for offers, webinar registrations, limited-time discounts, and more. By default, the timer shows standard labels such as days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

However, different campaigns may require different wording. For example, you might want to display “DAYS LEFT” instead of “Days,” or use another language altogether. The latest GoHighLevel update makes this easy to configure directly in the element settings.

Where to Find Countdown Timers in GoHighLevel

You can access countdown timers from the same place you manage other funnel and page elements. To get started, open the funnel or website page you want to edit.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Go to Funnels or Websites in the left-hand menu.
  3. Select the specific funnel or site, then choose the page where your countdown timer is located.
  4. Click Edit to open the page in the GoHighLevel builder.

Once in the builder, look for the existing countdown timer element, or drag a new one from the element panel onto your page.

How to Edit Countdown Timer Labels in GoHighLevel

After you have the countdown timer on your page, you can customize the labels from its settings panel. Follow these steps to update the text for each time unit.

Step 1: Open the Countdown Timer Settings in GoHighLevel

  1. Click on the countdown timer element in the builder canvas.
  2. The settings panel will appear on the left or right side, depending on your GoHighLevel layout.
  3. Locate the section related to Labels or time units.

This panel controls how the labels for days, hours, minutes, and seconds appear on your timer.

Step 2: Configure Day Label Text

The first label you can customize is for days.

  1. Find the field labeled Day Label or similar wording in the GoHighLevel timer settings.
  2. Enter the text you want to display for the day unit. For example:
    • “Days” (default)
    • “DAYS LEFT”
    • “Jour(s)” for French campaigns
  3. Check the preview of your timer on the page to ensure the new label appears correctly.

Step 3: Update the Hours Label in GoHighLevel

Next, update the label for hours so it matches your campaign language and style.

  1. In the same countdown timer settings panel, locate the Hour Label field.
  2. Type the desired text, such as:
    • “Hours”
    • “HRS”
    • “Stunden” for German campaigns
  3. Confirm in the GoHighLevel page preview that the change shows up correctly.

Step 4: Edit the Minutes Label in GoHighLevel

The minutes label can also be personalized for branding or localization.

  1. Find the Minute Label field in the countdown timer settings.
  2. Enter your preferred wording, for example:
    • “Minutes”
    • “MINS”
    • “Minutos” for Spanish campaigns
  3. Review the updated label directly on the timer element in GoHighLevel.

Step 5: Customize the Seconds Label in GoHighLevel

The last label controls how seconds appear in the timer.

  1. Locate the Second Label field.
  2. Type the text you wish to use, e.g.:
    • “Seconds”
    • “SECS”
    • “Sekunden”
  3. Verify that the label now displays properly on the countdown timer preview.

Best Practices for Countdown Timer Labels in GoHighLevel

When configuring labels in your GoHighLevel countdown timers, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Keep labels short: The timer layout works best with concise words like “HRS” or “MINS” to avoid wrapping or layout issues.
  • Use consistent capitalization: Choose a style (all caps, title case, or sentence case) and use it for all four labels.
  • Match your brand tone: If your brand is playful, you might use casual labels. For more formal brands, stick to standard wording.
  • Localize for your audience: Change labels to the local language for international funnels.

Testing Your Updated Countdown Timer in GoHighLevel

Before publishing your changes, always test the countdown timer to make sure labels and functionality work as expected.

  1. In the GoHighLevel builder, click Save after editing your labels.
  2. Use the Preview option to view the page on desktop and mobile.
  3. Confirm that each label (days, hours, minutes, seconds) displays correctly and aligns visually.
  4. If anything looks off, return to the countdown timer settings and adjust the label text length or capitalization.

This quick review ensures that your timer not only works but also looks professional across all devices.

Common Use Cases for Customized Labels in GoHighLevel

Adjusting countdown timer labels can improve clarity and conversion rates in several scenarios:

  • Limited-time offers: Emphasize urgency with labels like “DAYS LEFT” or “MINS REMAINING.”
  • Event registrations: Use labels that reference the event, such as “Days to Event.”
  • Product launches: Create excitement with labels like “Launch In” for all units.
  • Multi-language funnels: Translate labels for non-English audiences to keep your GoHighLevel funnels consistent with your messaging.
