Hi. What the added bonuses and how do I claim them after signing up with your link? I'm signing on for the white label account with white label app. I'm looking for a specific industry snapshot to get me started.

All these extra fees look like a great way to reload on existing business, especially with companies that do notbhave a web pressemce at all. Could base them out with just a site and yext, then go back to the pond to upsell on automated email campaigns and texting, upgrade them to have a moble app if appropriate. Very cool!

[@ElwardValstein]

You have become my go-to source for information on Go High Level. Love your unbiased takes on the program, in which you draw from your own experience running an agency!

[@ItsKeaton]

Thanks so much!

[@StephenCDayton]

Geesh, I thought if I bought the white label version for $297 per month and sold the full service to business owners for $200 per month, I'd make $200 per client minus my monthly white label fee. After watching this video, it looks like it might cost about $600 or more per site to run, so I'd lose $400 per customer! LOL. I think I'll stick with free WordPress and $20 p/m hosting. 😄 Thank you for showing the true costs. You saved me a lot of time and money.

[@ItsKeaton]

You missed the point of the vid! You can rebill all those costs to your customers so you do keep the profit

[@StephenCDayton]

I got the point. The costs get passed on to the custoemr, but my point is that the sales process is going to be a LOT harder selling them on a product that will cost them a lot more money than say $199 per month. I'm not saying it's impossible, but this video opened my eyes as I thought everything was included in the HL white label package but that $397 p/m price tag is just the starting point. A HL white label owner is going to need some serious selling skills to sell what is a product/service that has a much higher price point. @@ItsKeaton

[@ItsKeaton]

Depends on the usage but they'll soon find that the rates for sms and email are competitive.

[@gabrielescobar946]

Where are You geting the $600? It's about $50 at Best. AM I wrong?

[@Wilcko79]

What costs will I have for two sites I run through my own ghl account both have forms so customers can submit details that get emailed to me. Will I get charged for this

[@CEOBRANDEN]

isnt 0.0070 about 79 cent for 100 messages

12:20 Basic Account Setup

[@LP_Online]

At the start it shows 1 sub account with the 97$ plan, but I think they changed it to 3 didn’t they?

[@ItsKeaton]

They did good catch

[@jaxteller99]

Explain please

[@matheusbrottogaulia1502]

Man, I was really hoping to use conversational AI feature to grow a new SAAS offer. Why don't you recommend it?

[@ItsKeaton]

It’s getting better!! Watch my video on GHL AI and it will help you

[@amunityclips]

Question Keaton! How long does it take you to plan and shoot your videos? As you know im trying to grow more and i look up to your videos a lot on how i can improve! ☺️ hope you're well! ⚽

[@SuzannaKiraly]

This is a great breakdown! I'm just a bit confused about the chart you show at 3:38. Are the fees that you highlighted in yellow for brand registration or for campaign registration, and do we need to pay both of the highlighted fees?

[@Jesse-u6d1c]

But if I want to use the phone number I typed when creating the sub Account.. Do I still have to register it or buy a new phone number? Can't I just pay for GHL???? Lol

[@MoneyInfinite]

Bruh😮..Why people don't tell everything in detail like you. Literally be blessed❤ Just a quick question that i just want to resell the website templates so it'd not cost more than $297/mo right? And if i run email/sms campaigns for their reputation management, will i have to charge that extrs sms/email cost or just charge something like $300/mo? And one last thing is that to get the ghl app for the client, is that another cost? I know the question is incomplete but you got it and I'd love to hear from you 🥺

[@muhammadarbee3502]

Are these needed to start with go high level

[@MasterPassiveIncome]

Does high level charge anything for any sale you make and each transaction like a % fee for each sale transaction?

[@ItsKeaton]

No just payment processing fees

[@desirelovell]

Love your videos, thank you! Wallet - yes. But is there a spreadsheet with all the fee with txt etc.??

Great Video, thanks!

[@albin1658]

I was thinking about selling "Missed called text back" features for other business, in orther to do that as you mentioned I have to buy a number for each client i land. But that will also mean I not only have to pay for every call that goes trough my conversation ai bot but I also have to pay for every other call my client make right since its $/minute for phone? Anyway to come around this if you don't want to chrage you client extra becuase they use there phone more?

[@ItsKeaton]

You can just charge enough that their usage doesn’t matter

[@albin1658]

@@ItsKeaton But that is a bit risky right. It will also be hard for us as the company to calculate profits/expences. is there anyway to go around this and set up numbers with set price, via like a 3rd party app or 3rd party integrations etc?

[@ItsKeaton]

Not that risky

[@marcoyoungbiz]

@@albin1658put it into practice include it in your price even if you have to charge a little more, to keep your peace and allow leverage, then add it onto your onboarding experience if you have one, it’s working for so many us, don’t worry too much about it

[@seanybyne1982]

Does GHL charge based on the amount of contacts you add? Before sending out email/SMS or calls?

[@ItsKeaton]

No

[@austinbright-j3o]

Btw, I love your transparency in pricing

[@pixelnthings]

I just want to sell done for you funnels and website. Nothing additional stuff. Which plan should i go for???

[@ItsKeaton]

$297

[@pixelnthings]

@@ItsKeaton I get it you want to promote GHL, so you can make more money but don't give wrong advice to users. I just talked to the team they've mentioned that a $97 plan is enough for me. Thanks for the help, anyway 🙏🏻

[@ItsKeaton]

@@pixelnthingsnot giving wrong advice, you’ll likely need $297 eventually :)

[@Healthyfitdiet]

​@@ItsKeatonhow??? for funnels alone it is $97 know

[@ethanreynolds4181]

@@pixelnthingsI agree, I would recommend the $297 plan for this. It’s going to be easier to stay organized

[@beenieman79]

Awesome content, thanks...I was struggling trying to understand the pricing structures. 1 account is still on MG, but the remaining are on LC. Waiting to see the difference.

[@ItsKeaton]

Oooh keep me updated, this one I couldn't really figure out tbh

[@austinbright-j3o]

You mentioned carrier fees per segment as ~.003 per segment. Was that inclusive of the twilio .0079? Or an I all in at .0082?

[@ItsKeaton]

I believe carrier fees don’t always get charged. But definitely separate from Twilio

[@mralexcharlet-p]

What about the Unlimited plan at 49$ per month ? What Does it include ?

[@ItsKeaton]

GoHighLevel Pricing Explained: $97, $297, or $497? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4ardaFom61kY5Y

I mean they have a 49$ a month plan Unlimited for ai messages

[@Nzohyp]

Hi and thanks for the good content. But something i dont really understand. You take a plan monthly and after you have also to pay for each messages, emails and messages in fb and gmb to respond the review?!

[@ItsKeaton]

Yes. You'll find Go High Level rates are extremely competitive though. FB messages are free.

[@Mxnoj10]

@ItsKeaton how to rebill them to your clients? Can you make a video on that topic

[@MerlinH]

Can you tell me the total amount if I subscribe to the rest of the additional features with the main subscription plan?

[@ItsKeaton]

It depends on your usage

[@MerlinH]

@@ItsKeaton I didn't understand, can you explain more?

[@MerlinH]

@@ItsKeaton I want an estimated percentage

[@ItsKeaton]

Most of the extra costs are per message, email, action, etc.

[@MerlinH]

@@ItsKeaton Thank you very much for your response. If I sell a monthly subscription plan, will these things be calculated automatically for my client with the subscription plan that he will choose or separately? How can I inform my client about hidden fees? Will a separate invoice appear for him informing him of the hidden fees?

[@wbdill]

So is that $0.0079 per SMS segment on TOP of the carrier fee?

[@ItsKeaton]

Yes

[@tamasbarad8202]

Hi Keaton, thank you for the great vid. One thing you mentioned that I don't understand is how you make money by reselling HighLevel? I understand the affiliate, also the ongoing agency 'do-for-you' model. By reselling, does that mean that you charge the client /month for the same service they'd get if they were to subscribe to HL directly, with you continously have a access to their subaccount?

[@ItsKeaton]

Yep. And the incremental costs are passed on to them (SMS, email, AI)

[@eddydevedzic9881]

Valid point. How do you present that on the demo though? Do you give them a rough range what the additional costs may be or?

[@ItsKeaton]

Yeah :) or raise your prices enough so it doesn’t matter/give complimentary credits up to a certain amount per month

[@eddydevedzic9881]

When you say complementary they will still get charged the base price though what HL would charge us? Or?

[@ItsKeaton]

Like give them $20 in credits per month, so if they are under $20 it's free, if they go over then they pay. GHL makes it easy to do this@@eddydevedzic9881

[@iskapalya]

Why cant they be fully transparent with those hidden/surprise charges How can one profit if the supposed pricing is based off those fixed monthly when theres arbitrary usage fess, ish Then just say it upfront; a monthly plus usage fees

[@ItsKeaton]

The usage fees are anything but arbitrary

[@DeeGreene]

Great video. Thanks bro!

[@ItsKeaton]

Glad you liked it!

[@NinjaTaskers]

Which plan allow me to setup slack notifications?

[@ItsKeaton]

I believe all plans have this 👍🏼

[@Kubric021]

How does the registering of numbers and any A2P relate to a UK company working with UK clients? Is it as simple as picking a number and paying the 1.15 monthly and usages. To my knowledge the A2P doesn't apply to the UK, please advise and correct me if I'm wrong. Also amazing content keep it up.

[@ItsKeaton]

yes this is how it works as far as I'm aware!

[@javierjauregui9358]

Does selling a website templet from ghl for one time fee worth it or will I also get charged when people call of the website to the business owner

[@ItsKeaton]

Not sure what you're asking here. Adding another revenue stream by selling templates can certainly help though. What would you get charged for?

[@jeremyl9515]

If you want to service both canada and the us which phone number should you get, can you get multiple number and interchange them on the go?

[@joannasanchez5516]

What about if you already have a phone line you can use instead of registering for another line? Would I still be charged extra?

[@ItsKeaton]

There are ways to connect certain ones,ask in the FB group

[@ItsKeaton]

Use my free Skool community to ask this actually. It's a common question. Here is an invite: www.skool.com/keaton-walker-group-3488?invite=45a96d8087ec44e59fb16b3ab803bad1

Was referring to the GHL FB group though :)

[@diversifiedak]

Hey Keaton so I just started my agency and may get my first client soon so do I really gotta worry about these fees?

[@ItsKeaton]

You can wait to get GHL if you can’t afford it yet, but you can pass all the cost to your customer too if you’re on the $297 plan

[@diversifiedak]

@@ItsKeaton Alright thanks a lot

[@euphydevv]

how to avoid these charges?

[@ItsKeaton]

What specific ones are you trying to avoid?

And to be completely honest as a DevSecOps, this service is not cheap, for the service you get. People who say that don't really know what they're talking about. Or have spent way too much money on it.
