Import Blog Posts via URL in GoHighLevel

If you manage content in tools like ClickUp or other platforms and want to repurpose it on your website, the native blog feature in GoHighLevel lets you quickly import existing articles using just a URL. This guide walks you through every step, from enabling the beta feature to troubleshooting common issues so you can streamline your blogging workflow.

This how-to is based on the official documentation for the blog import tool and explains how to turn any compatible web page into a reusable blog post inside your GoHighLevel account.

What You Need Before Using GoHighLevel Blog Import

Before you begin, confirm the following requirements are met so the import works correctly:

• You are using the new blog builder in GoHighLevel.
• The import feature is currently in beta and must be enabled in Labs.
• Your source article is publicly accessible (no password protection or login walls).
• The source URL is a standard web page that clearly displays a blog-style article.

Meeting these conditions ensures the platform can read and convert your existing post into a formatted blog in your account.

Enable the GoHighLevel Blog Import Beta Feature

Because the blog import tool is still in beta, you have to activate it from the Labs section before you can access the URL import option.

Steps to Turn On the GoHighLevel Labs Feature

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account as an admin or user with blog permissions.
2. Navigate to the main navigation menu on the left side of your dashboard.
3. Click on Labs or the section where beta features are listed.
4. Locate the Blog Import Using URL or similarly named option.
5. Toggle the feature to the On position to enable it.

Once activated, you will see the new import option inside the blog builder interface.

Open the GoHighLevel Blog Builder

After enabling the beta option, you are ready to access the blog tool where all posts are created, edited, and managed.

Accessing the Blog Section in GoHighLevel

1. From the main dashboard, open the Sites or Blogs area (depending on your current layout).
2. Click on Blogs to open the blog management screen.
3. Select the specific blog you want to add a new article to, or create a new blog if you do not have one yet.

Inside your chosen blog, you will see options for creating a new post and, once Labs is enabled, an additional option to import from a URL.

How to Import a Blog Post into GoHighLevel Using a URL

With the feature turned on and your blog open, you can now import an external article into your GoHighLevel blog.

Step-by-Step Import Instructions

1. In the blog you want to add content to, click New Post or Add Post.
2. Look for the option labeled Import From URL or similar inside the post creation dialog.
3. Open the source article you want to import in a new browser tab.
4. Copy the full URL from the address bar of that article.
5. Return to your GoHighLevel blog screen and paste the URL into the import field.
6. Click Import or Fetch Content.
7. Wait a few moments while the system scans the URL and converts the content to a draft blog post.

When the process is complete, your imported content will appear as a new post draft that you can fully edit, optimize, and publish.

Editing the Imported Blog Post in GoHighLevel

After the import, you should always review and refine the content to match your branding and SEO strategy.

Recommended Post-Import Edits

• Check the title: Adjust it for clarity, length, and keyword targeting.
• Review headings: Ensure <h2> and <h3> tags follow a logical structure.
• Format text: Add short paragraphs, bullet lists, and numbered steps to improve readability.
• Update links: Replace or remove any links that do not apply to your new site.
• Add internal links: Connect the new article to other relevant pages on your website.
• Optimize images: Confirm images imported correctly and include descriptive alt text.

Once the content looks good and matches your style, you can publish it directly within your GoHighLevel blog.

Best Practices for SEO After Importing into GoHighLevel

To maximize search performance for your newly imported post, follow basic on-page SEO guidelines before you hit publish.

• Include your main keyword naturally in the title and first paragraph.
• Use descriptive subheadings that help readers and search engines understand the page.
• Keep paragraphs short and scannable for better user experience.
• Add a concise meta description that clearly summarizes the article.
• Ensure your URL slug is readable and reflects the topic of the blog post.

Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Blog Import Issues

Sometimes the import may fail or only partially capture the content from the source page. Use the tips below to resolve common problems.

Common Problems When Importing via URL

• Import fails completely: The source URL might be blocked, behind a login, or using unsupported technology.
• Missing images: Some images hosted on restricted CDNs or platforms may not import correctly.
• Incorrect formatting: Complex layouts or custom scripts on the original page may not translate perfectly into the blog editor.

How to Fix Import Errors in GoHighLevel

1. Verify public access: Open the source URL in an incognito window to confirm it is publicly visible.
2. Use the canonical article URL: Avoid shortened or redirecting links; copy the main article address.
3. Simplify the source: When possible, use a standard blog layout with clear headings and body content.
4. Manually adjust formatting: After import, clean up spacing, headings, and lists in the editor.
5. Re-add missing images: Upload any images that did not import and place them where needed in the post.

If problems persist, compare your experience with the official help guide available at the GoHighLevel import documentation to confirm that your steps match the intended workflow.

When to Use the GoHighLevel URL Import Feature

The URL import option is ideal when you already have articles published elsewhere and want to consolidate your content into a single blog environment.

• Migrating blog posts from another CMS to your new site.
• Reusing existing tutorial content as part of a funnel or membership area.
• Standardizing all marketing content inside one GoHighLevel workspace.
• Speeding up content creation by turning live pages into editable drafts.

By combining this feature with consistent editing and SEO optimization, you can quickly build a rich library of blogs while maintaining full control over design and branding.
