How to Analyze LC Communications Spending in GoHighLevel

If your agency uses ClickUp or other project tools to track operations, you also need clear visibility into LC Communications costs inside GoHighLevel. This guide walks you step-by-step through the built-in Agency LC Communications report so you can understand, filter, and export your spending data with confidence.

Following these steps will help you verify usage-based billing, reconcile invoices, and quickly identify which sub-accounts and channels drive the most communication costs.

Accessing the GoHighLevel Agency LC Communications Report

The spending report for LC Communications lives inside the Agency view. You must have agency-level access to open this area.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel Agency account.

2. From the left-hand menu, click Agency View if you are not already there.

3. Navigate to Billing or Agency Billing & Usage depending on your interface version.

4. Select the tab or section labeled LC Communications or LC Communications Usage.

Once you open this section, you will see a detailed table summarizing LC Communications spending across your agency’s sub-accounts.

Understanding the GoHighLevel LC Communications Spending Table

The LC Communications table is designed to show you exactly how much each account is spending on different communication channels. Typical columns you may see include:

• Account / Sub-account – The location or client account generating the charges.
• Channel Type – For example, SMS, MMS, email, calls, or other supported communication channels.
• Quantity / Usage – The number of messages, emails, or calls sent or received.
• Rate / Unit Price – The cost assigned per message, per email, or per minute depending on channel.
• Total Cost – The total amount billed for that line item during the selected time frame.
• Date / Billing Period – When the usage occurred or the billing cycle it belongs to.

This breakdown allows you to pinpoint where communication costs originate so you can make informed decisions about client packaging and internal budgets.

Filtering GoHighLevel LC Communications Data by Date

To accurately evaluate agency spending, always begin by setting the correct date range.

1. In the LC Communications report, locate the Date Range or Filter section.

2. Choose a predefined range such as:

   • Today
   • Yesterday
   • Last 7 Days
   • Last 30 Days
   • This Month
   • Last Month

3. Alternatively, select a Custom Date Range to match a specific billing cycle or client contract period.

4. Click Apply or a similar button to refresh the report.

Aligning the report date range with your accounting or client invoicing schedule ensures that GoHighLevel communications charges match your internal records.

Using GoHighLevel Filters to Drill Down by Account

Beyond dates, you can refine the report to focus on specific sub-accounts or communication channels.

1. Look for a Sub-account, Location, or Account filter at the top of the LC Communications table.

2. Select one or more sub-accounts you want to analyze.

3. Optionally, filter by Channel Type (for example, only SMS or only email) to see costs for a single medium.

4. Apply the filter so the table reloads with focused data.

These filters make it easy to answer questions like which client is using the most SMS messages or which location is driving the highest call volume.

Reviewing Detailed GoHighLevel LC Communications Charges

Once you have set the time frame and filters, you can inspect individual spending records.

1. Scroll through the table to review spending per sub-account and channel.

2. Sort by Total Cost, Usage, or Account using the column headers if sorting is available.

3. Look for unusually high usage or spikes in cost that may indicate:

   • New campaigns with heavy messaging volume
   • Misconfigured automation flows
   • Unexpected client usage patterns

4. Compare current costs with previous periods to identify trends or seasonal changes.

This level of detail helps you validate client invoices and optimize how your agency packages communication credits.

Exporting GoHighLevel LC Communications Spending

For deeper analysis or record-keeping, you can export the LC Communications report for offline use.

1. In the LC Communications section, find the Export button or download icon, usually near the top right of the table.

2. Select the desired export format, commonly CSV or Excel.

3. Confirm the export and wait for the file to generate.

4. Download the file and open it in your preferred spreadsheet tool.

With the exported data, you can build custom pivot tables, charts, or reports that align with your agency’s internal dashboards, including any ClickUp-based reports you maintain.

Best Practices for Analyzing GoHighLevel LC Communications Spend

To get consistent, reliable insights from your communications spending data, follow these best practices:

Schedule Regular GoHighLevel Spend Reviews

• Review LC Communications usage weekly or monthly.
• Compare current spend with prior periods to catch anomalies quickly.

Map GoHighLevel Costs to Client Packages

• Align each sub-account’s spending with the client’s contracted allowances.
• Identify clients who regularly exceed included messaging and may need upgraded plans.
• Highlight underused allowances to refine future pricing.

Monitor High-Volume GoHighLevel Channels

• Watch SMS and MMS traffic for large outbound campaigns.
• Check call volume and duration where telephony is enabled.
• Track email sending costs where applicable to avoid overages.

Reconciling GoHighLevel LC Communications with Agency Billing

The LC Communications report is a key tool for reconciling platform usage with what you bill your clients.

1. Export the LC Communications report for the same billing period as your client invoices.

2. Group usage by sub-account to see the total cost per client.

3. Compare those totals with the communication fees on your invoices.

4. Adjust future pricing or communication limits when you see recurring overages or under-usage.

This process ensures your agency recovers communication costs while maintaining transparency with clients.
