Why & How I Replaced ScoreApp With Lovable.dev and ChatGPT

Posted on by

AI is changing software faster than most businesses realise. For years, companies have relied on single-purpose SaaS tools for specific functionalities such as quizzes, assessments, forms, automation and lead generation funnels. But today, AI tools like ChatGPT and Lovable.dev allow businesses to rapidly create custom software themselves. Recently, I replaced ScoreApp with a custom-built AI-...

HighLevel Is Becoming the AI Operating System for Your Marketing – and Business

Right now, most business owners are focused on AI tools. ChatGPT. Voice AI. Automation tools. Quiz builders. Landing page generators. Every week there’s something new. And they’re all impressive.

7 Practical Tips for Editing Images with ChatGPT (April 2026 Update)

Posted on by

One of the most common questions I get is how to properly edit images inside ChatGPT rather than just generating them once and starting again. If you are using ChatGPT for image creation but not properly using the editing capabilities, you are leaving a lot on the table. Most people treat it as a one-shot image generator. That is not where the value is. The real advantage comes from it...

HighLevel for Football Clubs. How to Add a Marketing and Revenue Engine Without Replacing Your Ticketing System

Posted on by

The problem every football club marketer already knows If you work in marketing for a football club, you already know this. Your CRM isn’t really a CRM. It’s a ticketing system with a database attached. Yes, it stores fan data. Yes, you can segment lists. Yes, you can send emails. But in reality, your “marketing system” looks like this: Send a broadcast email Maybe segment b...

HighLevel Not Working? Try These Two Fixes Before Contacting Support

If you’ve landed on this page, there’s a good chance something in HighLevel isn’t behaving as expected. Perhaps your opportunities have disappeared. Your pipeline is blank. Your contacts aren’t showing. A workflow has stopped working. Your calendar isn’t displaying appointments. Maybe you’ve searched Google for an answer, watched a few YouTube videos, or even started drafting a support ticket. Before you spend hours troubleshooting, there are two simple checks I recommend making first. As a HighLevel consultant who works with businesses throughout the UK and internationally, I’ve seen many situations where what appears to be a major problem turns out to be a browser issue that can be resolved in seconds. Julian Mills’ 1st Recommendation: Use Google Chrome HighLevel is a modern web-based application that is constantly evolving. New features, updates and improvements are released regularly. Because of this, browser compatibility can sometimes become an issue. My recommendation is simple. Use Google Chrome. While HighLevel will often work in other browsers, Chrome generally provides the most consistent experience. If you’re using another browser and something appears broken, switch to Chrome before investigating further. You may find the issue immediately disappears. Julian Mills’ 2nd Recommendation: Clear Your Browser Cache In my experience, browser cache issues are responsible for a surprising number of apparent HighLevel problems. When HighLevel updates part of the platform, your browser can sometimes hold onto older versions of files. This can result in: Missing opportunities Blank pages Missing buttons Incorrect reports Broken layouts Workflows appearing not to work Missing contacts Calendars displaying incorrectly The good news is that the data is still there. Everything is backed up in HighLevel. Your browser simply isn’t displaying the latest version of the platform correctly. How To Clear Cache In Google Chrome Open Google Chrome. Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete on Windows or Command + Shift + Delete on Mac. Select Cached Images and Files. Click Delete Data. Close Chrome completely. Reopen Chrome. Log back into HighLevel. Try An Incognito Window You can also test HighLevel in an Incognito window by pressing: Ctrl + Shift + N This creates a clean browser session and can quickly identify whether the issue is cache-related. If HighLevel works correctly in an Incognito window but not in your normal browser session, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with a browser cache issue. Before You Contact Support If something appears broken in HighLevel, I recommend working through this checklist: ✅ Use Google Chrome ✅ Clear your browser cache ✅ Open an Incognito window ✅ Log out and back in ✅ Try another computer if available / or ask another user to check for you Many apparent HighLevel issues could be resolved before a support ticket is ever needed. Are You Getting The HighLevel Technical Support You Need Or Were Promised? One thing many business owners discover after signing up for a HighLevel sub-account is that not all HighLevel resellers, implementation partners and white-label agencies provide the same level of support. In some cases, support may be limited to basic onboarding or ticket-based assistance. When issues arise, users can find themselves searching Google, watching YouTube videos, reading Facebook groups or trying to troubleshoot problems on their own. That’s not necessarily anyone’s fault. Every agency has a different business model and level of technical expertise. At MarketerM8, we take a different approach. When you become a MarketerM8 customer, you’re not simply getting access to the HighLevel software. You’re also gaining access to a team of experienced HighLevel specialists who work with the platform every day. Included with your MarketerM8 subscription: Unlimited HighLevel support Access to 24/7 live chat support Zoom support calls when required Help troubleshooting workflows, automations, calendars and pipelines Assistance with integrations and technical setup Access to free live HighLevel training workshops Guidance from experienced HighLevel consultants If something isn’t working, you shouldn’t have to spend hours searching the internet trying to find the answer. Our aim is to help you solve the problem quickly so you can get back to running your business. Already Have A HighLevel Account? Many people don’t realise that it is often possible to move an existing HighLevel sub-account from one reseller or agency to another. If you’re currently using HighLevel and would like to learn more about transferring your sub account to MarketerM8, book a discovery call with Julian Mills. During the call we’ll discuss your current setup, the support you’re receiving today, and whether moving your account to MarketerM8 would be a good fit for your business. Book your discovery call: https://www.julianmills.co.uk/discovery Appendix: Common HighLevel Issues Often Resolved By Clearing Browser Cache This appendix contains a reference list of common questions HighLevel users search for online. While each issue may have multiple possible causes, browser cache is one of the first things worth checking.

How to Seamlessly Transition from ClickFunnels to HighLevel (And Why Many Businesses Make the Move)

If you’ve been using ClickFunnels for a while, there is a good chance you’ve reached a point where you’re asking yourself whether it’s still the right platform for your business. For many business owners, coaches, consultants and agencies, ClickFunnels is often the first serious marketing platform they invest in. It helps them build landing pages, sales funnels and lead generation campaigns without needing a developer. The challenge comes later. As your business grows, you often need more than just funnels. You need a CRM. You need email marketing. You need appointment booking. You need automation. You need lead nurturing. You may need SMS, WhatsApp, AI tools and sales pipelines. This is where many businesses begin exploring HighLevel. In this guide, I’ll explain why businesses move from ClickFunnels to HighLevel, what can be migrated, what challenges to expect and how to make the transition as smooth as possible. Quick Answer Many businesses move from ClickFunnels to HighLevel because they need more than a funnel builder. ClickFunnels remains one of the most popular platforms for creating sales funnels, landing pages and lead generation campaigns. However, as businesses grow, they often require CRM functionality, appointment booking, email marketing, automation, SMS messaging, WhatsApp communication and customer management tools. HighLevel combines all of these functions into a single platform. For businesses looking to reduce software costs, simplify integrations and centralise their marketing and sales systems, HighLevel is often a natural next step. What Is the Difference Between ClickFunnels and HighLevel? ClickFunnels is primarily a sales funnel platform designed to help businesses generate leads and sales online. HighLevel is a marketing and sales operating system that includes funnel building alongside CRM, email marketing, workflow automation, appointment booking, communications and customer management tools. A simple way to think about it is: ClickFunnels focuses on generating leads. HighLevel focuses on generating leads and managing everything that happens afterwards. Why Businesses Move from ClickFunnels to HighLevel Let’s be clear. ClickFunnels is not a bad platform. In fact, it remains one of the most recognised funnel-building platforms in the world and has helped thousands of businesses generate leads and sales. The reason many businesses move is not because ClickFunnels stops working. The reason is that they start needing additional tools. A common software stack looks something like this: ClickFunnels Calendly ActiveCampaign Zapier Stripe CRM software SMS platform Each tool performs a specific function, but costs begin to add up and integrations become increasingly complex. Many business owners eventually ask: Wouldn’t it be easier if all of this lived under one roof? That is often what leads them to HighLevel. The Problem Isn’t ClickFunnels One of the biggest misconceptions is that businesses leave ClickFunnels because of funnels. In reality, most businesses are perfectly happy with their funnels. The problem is usually what happens after someone opts in. Once a lead enters your world, you need to: Track conversations Manage follow-up Book appointments Send reminders Nurture prospects Manage opportunities Monitor sales performance Collect reviews Automate communication This is where businesses often find themselves adding more and more software around ClickFunnels. Expert Insight from Julian Mills “The reason most businesses leave ClickFunnels isn’t because the funnels stop working. It’s because they eventually need a CRM, automation, appointment booking and customer management platform around those funnels.” – Julian Mills The Funnel-to-System Framework Over the years, I’ve noticed a pattern. Most businesses start by solving one problem and then gradually discover they have four or five more. Stage 1: Build Funnels Generate leads and enquiries. Stage 2: Capture Leads Store contact information and customer data. Stage 3: Follow Up Use automation, reminders and nurture campaigns. Stage 4: Convert Opportunities Manage pipelines and sales processes. Stage 5: Retain Customers Deliver ongoing communication, reviews and customer experience. Julian Mills’ View “Many businesses buy ClickFunnels to solve Stage 1. They move to HighLevel when they need Stages 2 through 5.” – Julian Mills What Can Be Migrated from ClickFunnels to HighLevel? The good news is that most of your existing assets can be migrated. Funnels and Landing Pages Most funnel structures can be recreated inside HighLevel. In many cases, businesses take the opportunity to improve conversion rates by refreshing designs, simplifying pages and updating messaging. What many ClickFunnels users don’t realise is that HighLevel includes a ClickFunnels Page Importer. Rather than rebuilding every page from scratch, HighLevel can import many ClickFunnels pages directly into a HighLevel funnel. The imported page is recreated within HighLevel, often saving a significant amount of time during the migration process. In many cases, the page design, layout, images and copy will import successfully. The main tasks afterwards are typically: Recreating forms in HighLevel Recreating order forms in HighLevel Reconnecting automation workflows Testing the funnel before going live Julian Mills’ View “One of the biggest surprises for ClickFunnels users is discovering that HighLevel can often import their existing funnel pages. Instead of rebuilding everything from scratch, the process is often as simple as importing the page, recreating the form or order form and reconnecting the automation. That can save hours, or even days, during a migration.” – Julian Mills Forms Lead capture forms can be recreated and often enhanced with additional automation. Email Campaigns Email templates, nurture sequences and marketing campaigns can usually be transferred into HighLevel. Contacts Customer and prospect databases can be imported into HighLevel using CSV imports. Membership Areas Courses and membership content can be recreated inside HighLevel’s Courses and Communities features. For many former ClickFunnels users, HighLevel Communities offers a more modern experience and continues to receive regular development updates. Appointment Booking and Calendars Many businesses using ClickFunnels will connect a tool such as Calendly for appointment scheduling. HighLevel certainly handles traditional appointment booking, including: Discovery calls Sales consultations Classes / Workshops Webinars Strategy sessions Demo bookings Team appointments However, HighLevel’s calendar functionality extends far beyond what most people expect from a standard scheduling tool. Service Calendars For businesses delivering services, HighLevel includes Service Calendars. These are ideal for businesses where appointments need to be assigned to specific team Read more…
