A GoHighLevel agency sub-account needs to be created for each client that is added to your GoHighLevel account. 

Within each sub-account, you get access to all the platform’s features and tools, allowing you to set up campaigns, funnels, contact lists, etc. according to each individual client’s specifications.

Key Takeaways:

  • You can create a GoHighLevel agency sub-account for each of your clients
  • The sub-account keeps each client’s data and information separate and secure
  • The subscription holder gets an agency account and sub-account for their agency

What Is the GoHighLevel Agency Sub-Account?

The GoHighLevel agency sub-account refers to the accounts that you create within the platform for each of your clients. 

Each sub-account contains specific information for the client in question, such as contact lists, campaigns, pipelines, calendars, funnels, etc.

Sub-accounts cannot be mixed together, so it is an extremely effective way to keep multiple clients’ data separate. 

As the overall agency account owner, you can switch between each sub-account to view and edit the information for each one. 

Additionally, you can give individuals access to a specific sub-account. When they log in, they can only access the sub-account data and are not able to view or access other sub-accounts.

The number of sub-accounts you can have depends on your chosen plan:

  • Agency Starter: Up to three sub-accounts
  • Agency Unlimited: Unlimited sub-accounts

What Is the Difference between the GoHighLevel Agency and Sub-Accounts?

What Is the Difference between the GoHighLevel Agency and Sub-Accounts?

There is often confusion around the agency account and the sub-accounts. Essentially, the agency account is granted to whoever holds and pays for the GoHighLevel subscription, and a sub-account is what is created for each client.

When you purchase and set up GoHighLevel, the agency account (AKA “agency view”) is automatically generated and lets you perform tasks such as:

  • Create new sub-accounts and manage existing ones.
  • Import and use sub-account snapshots.
  • Access prospecting tools for potential new clients.
  • Set up SaaS and reselling.
  • Join the affiliate program.
  • Access the GoHighLevel marketplaces.
  • Set up and configure the GoHighLevel app.
  • View and edit your account settings (billing, subscription, services, API keys, etc.).
  • And more.

When you create a sub-account, you are given a different set of tools designed to perform CRM as well as market and increase business for your clients. 

Here’s a brief overview of some of the things you can do:

When you use the platform, you have to get used to switching between your agency view and sub-account view to perform different tasks.

    1. You can do both. If you’re running an agency, you can simply create the sub-accounts for your clients for free. If you’re selling HighLevel as a SaaS, then you’ll have to charge.

  1. “When you purchase a GoHighLevel subscription, you are given an agency account and also a sub-account. This is done so that you can create campaigns and perform marketing and CRM for your own agency.”

    Is this sub-account supposed to already be in GHL when you sign up? I had no sub-accounts. I created one for a client, but don’t see one for my own agency. I’m on the $97 plan so if I create another sub-account just for my agency, does that count as 1 of my 3?

    Thanks!
