Fix Spam Likely Caller ID in GoHighLevel
If your outbound calls are showing as “Spam Likely,” it can damage trust, hurt answer rates, and impact tools like ClickUp or any integrated CRM workflow. This step-by-step guide explains how to remediate spam labeling on your caller ID when using GoHighLevel by registering your numbers with Free Caller Registry and following carrier‑approved best practices.
Why your GoHighLevel caller ID shows Spam Likely
Wireless carriers and analytics providers use spam scoring algorithms to protect subscribers from unwanted calls. Even legitimate businesses using GoHighLevel can be flagged as “Spam Likely” if their calling patterns resemble spam or if the numbers are not properly registered.
Common triggers include:
- High outbound call volume from a small pool of numbers
- Very short calls or frequent unanswered calls
- Consumers repeatedly clicking “Report Spam” on your calls
- Caller ID data that is inconsistent or missing business information
GoHighLevel itself is not the cause of spam flags, but how your numbers are used through the platform can influence carrier scoring.
Before you start: key notes for GoHighLevel users
When remediating spam labels for numbers used in GoHighLevel:
- You must be a legitimate business or organization.
- The same phone number can be labeled differently by different carriers.
- Carriers do not guarantee removal of spam labels, even after registration.
- Changes can take days or weeks to propagate across networks.
Registration is done outside the GoHighLevel app via Free Caller Registry, a portal supported by major analytics providers.
Step 1: Gather required information for GoHighLevel numbers
Before you submit anything, collect accurate data for every number you are using in GoHighLevel campaigns.
Information you need for each GoHighLevel number
- Business legal name and any DBAs
- Business address and website URL
- Contact name, email, and phone number
- The phone numbers you want to remediate
- Type of calls (sales, support, appointment reminders, etc.)
- Call frequency and typical calling hours
Consistency matters. The information you provide to Free Caller Registry should match what appears on your website and any public profiles connected to your GoHighLevel workflows.
Step 2: Access the Free Caller Registry portal
The remediation process for GoHighLevel numbers is handled through the Free Caller Registry website, not directly inside your account.
Open the official documentation here: Remediate Spam Likely on your Caller ID using Free Caller Registry.
From that page, follow the link to the Free Caller Registry portal. This site lets you submit your business and caller ID details so analytics providers can review and update spam labeling for your GoHighLevel numbers.
Step 3: Create and submit your Free Caller Registry request
How to submit GoHighLevel numbers in Free Caller Registry
- Open the Free Caller Registry site from the documentation link.
- Locate the option to register or submit phone numbers for review.
- Enter your business and contact information exactly as it appears in your branding and GoHighLevel settings.
- List every outbound number that is being used for campaigns, power dialing, or automation.
- Describe your call use case clearly (for example, appointment reminders, customer service follow‑ups, opt‑in marketing, or sales).
- Agree to any terms and confirm that your calls comply with applicable regulations (TCPA, DNC rules, and carrier policies).
- Submit the form and save any confirmation message or ticket information.
Make sure each GoHighLevel number is included. If you add new numbers later, repeat the same process so those caller IDs are also registered.
Step 4: Understand what Free Caller Registry does for GoHighLevel numbers
Free Caller Registry shares your submitted data with participating analytics providers and carriers. For GoHighLevel users, that means:
- Your numbers can be re‑evaluated for spam scoring.
- Legitimate traffic patterns may be recognized and labeled properly.
- Caller ID may show your business name instead of a generic or spam warning, depending on carrier policies.
This process does not guarantee that every carrier will remove a spam flag, but it improves your chances and aligns your GoHighLevel usage with recommended industry practices.
Step 5: Adjust your GoHighLevel calling practices
Registration alone is not enough. To reduce the chance of future spam flags on your GoHighLevel numbers, you should optimize your calling behavior.
Best practices for GoHighLevel call campaigns
- Use opt‑in leads only: Make sure everyone you call has given clear permission to be contacted.
- Respect do‑not‑call requests: Immediately honor opt‑out requests in GoHighLevel workflows.
- Spread calls across multiple numbers: Avoid blasting high volumes from a single caller ID.
- Limit short calls: High percentages of sub‑10‑second calls can look like spam behavior.
- Call at reasonable hours: Stay within normal business hours for the recipient’s time zone.
Review your campaign configurations in GoHighLevel regularly to keep your dialing patterns compliant and low‑risk.
Step 6: Monitor your caller ID status after remediation
After submitting your GoHighLevel numbers through Free Caller Registry, it may take time before you see changes on the major carriers.
How to monitor your GoHighLevel caller ID
- Test from different mobile carriers and devices.
- Ask trusted contacts to confirm how your number displays.
- Watch answer rates and call duration metrics in GoHighLevel.
- Document any ongoing “Spam Likely” issues by carrier.
If spam flags continue for specific numbers despite compliant usage, consider rotating to new numbers and registering those as well, then phasing out the problematic caller IDs from your GoHighLevel account.
GoHighLevel, compliance, and long‑term reputation
Maintaining a clean reputation with carriers is an ongoing process. Combining Free Caller Registry with strong compliance practices inside GoHighLevel will help protect your answer rates and brand image over time.
Key long‑term habits include:
- Keeping accurate business details in all public profiles.
- Regularly auditing automation and dialer settings.
- Avoiding aggressive or deceptive calling tactics.
- Training your team on respectful, permission‑based outreach.
When you align your GoHighLevel strategy with these standards, carriers are more likely to treat your calls as wanted and legitimate.
