Go High Level for heating and plumbing firms: what it does, and the gap it leaves

A good number of the heating and plumbing firms we talk to already run Go High Level. Quite a few of them don’t know it by that name. A marketing agency set it up, the texts go out as “LeadConnector” or under the agency’s brand, and the owner logs in about twice a year.

The leads arrive through it, and that part usually works. Then someone in the office types each one into the job software by hand. The review requests go out whenever somebody remembers to drag a card across a pipeline, which on a busy week means they don’t go out at all.

What Go High Level is

Go High Level (also written GoHighLevel, or shortened to GHL) is a marketing CRM. It holds your contacts and a sales pipeline, and it can run booking calendars, landing pages, web forms and automated texts and emails. It also does reputation management, which mostly means asking customers for Google reviews.

It is built for marketing agencies first. HighLevel’s own plans start at $97 a month and go up to $497, and the pricing is shaped around “sub-accounts”: one per client business. An agency buys one HighLevel account, gives each of its clients a sub-account, and often renames the whole thing to its own brand. LeadConnector is the plain, unbranded name HighLevel puts on its phone app and on a lot of its messages.

For you, the owner, it usually arrives as part of a monthly marketing retainer rather than something you chose.

What it is good at

Go High Level is at its best before anyone has agreed to anything.

Someone fills in the form on your website or answers a Facebook ad, and they land in Go High Level as a contact. A workflow can text them back straight away, which matters when the customer has rung three firms and will go with whoever answers first.

A lead that went quiet can get a second text a few days later without anybody setting a reminder. An agency can also run campaigns to your old customer list, like a nudge in September to everyone whose boiler hasn’t been serviced in a year.

Then there are reviews, which is one of the main things trades firms are sold it for. Set up properly, every happy customer gets a polite text with a link to your Google profile.

Go High Level doesn’t do job management and doesn’t claim to. The engineers’ diary, gas certificates, job sheets and invoices live in your job software.

Where it stops

The trouble is the handover between the two systems.

Every lead gets typed twice

The lead is in Go High Level. The job has to go in your job software, because that’s where the diary and the engineers are. So someone copies the name, number, email and address across. Do that for every enquiry and you get the usual mess: a phone number with a digit missing, the same customer in there twice under “Dave” and “David”, and the occasional lead nobody copied over at all.

The review request goes out at the wrong moment

A review request should go out when the job is done and the customer is happy. Ideally that’s after they’ve paid, because a customer still waiting on a corrected invoice isn’t in the mood to give you five stars.

Go High Level doesn’t know when the engineer finished, or whether the invoice went out and got paid. So the workflow has to run off something it can see. That means either somebody moving the deal to “Won” by hand, or a timer counting from the date the job was booked.

Both go wrong in a heating business. The manual step gets skipped in a busy week. The timer fires on the planned finish date of the full system change that ran four days over, and the customer gets “How did we do?” with the floorboards still up.

Connecting the two

The fix is to let the job software tell Go High Level what happened, so its workflows run off real events. We built a direct connection between Go High Level and Mucka for this reason. It works in both directions.

What comes into Mucka

A new contact in Go High Level becomes a client in Mucka. If that person is already there (same name, and the same phone or email), Mucka uses the existing client rather than adding them twice.
Mark an opportunity Won in Go High Level and an unscheduled job appears in Mucka for that client, ready to book in. You choose which job type these get.
Bookings from the Go High Level calendars you pick land in the Mucka diary pencilled in at that time. If the booking moves in Go High Level, the pencilled job moves with it until you confirm it. Leave a calendar switched off if it holds sales calls rather than visits.

Nothing that comes in from Go High Level books a customer in or sends them anything. Jobs stay unscheduled or pencilled until you confirm them yourself, so a lead with the wrong address can’t turn into an engineer at the wrong door.

What goes back to Go High Level

When a job is completed, a quote is accepted or an invoice is paid, Mucka adds a tag to that customer in Go High Level:

mucka-job-completed
mucka-quote-accepted
mucka-invoice-paid

Your agency, or you, can start a Go High Level workflow from any of those tags. A few that make sense for a heating firm:

mucka-invoice-paid, then wait a day, then send the Google review request. That way the review request reaches the customer only after the job is done and paid for.
mucka-quote-accepted, then send a short “here’s what happens next” message, with who is coming and what they’ll need on the day.
mucka-job-completed on a boiler install, then add them to a campaign that offers a service plan or reminds them about the first annual service.

You can also choose a pipeline stage for each of the three events, and Mucka moves the customer’s deal in that pipeline to it, so nobody has to drag deals across the pipeline by hand. If you switch it on, clients you add in Mucka go across to Go High Level as contacts too, so your marketing list includes the customers who rang you directly.

Mucka only adds the tag. Any text or email your customer gets comes from a workflow in your Go High Level account. So before you switch the tags on, look at what workflows you already have and make sure none of them will fire on a tag in a way you didn’t expect.

If an agency runs it for you

Most firms in this position have an agency in the middle. The connection works with Go High Level under any name, including LeadConnector and an agency’s own brand. Before you start:

Mucka connects to your business’s sub-account, not to the agency above it. When you sign in to Go High Level to connect, check the top of the page. If it says Agency View, switch it to Sub-Account View.
If the list of businesses opens and closes straight away, your login has no sub-account under it. Ask your agency to add you to your business’s sub-account, or to install Mucka on it for you.
Send your agency the three tag names and tell them which workflows you want running off them. Building a workflow from a tag is routine for anyone who runs Go High Level.
If the app is ever removed in Go High Level, by the agency tidying up for instance, Mucka puts a card in your Actions list with a button to reconnect.

The full steps are in our help article on connecting Go High Level, and there’s a summary on the Go High Level integration page.

Decide which system does the asking

If you connect the two, decide where each customer message comes from, or customers will get two of everything.

Mucka can ask for reviews itself and send service reminders. Go High Level can do both too. Pick one for each. If your agency already has a review workflow you’re happy with, let it run off mucka-invoice-paid and leave Mucka’s review requests off. If you’d rather keep it inside your job software, do the opposite. Either is fine, but doing both means a customer gets asked twice and is less likely to do it once.

Do you need Go High Level at all?

If you already have it and an agency is running ads and landing pages through it, keep it. With the connection, you no longer type each lead in twice.

If you don’t have it, think about what you’d be buying. A lot of what heating firms are sold Go High Level for, like missed calls, reviews and quote follow-ups, Mucka already covers inside the job software. Its AI receptionist answers the call rather than texting back after you’ve missed it, and Mucka drafts the follow-up on a quote that’s gone quiet for you to send. With online booking, customers pick a time themselves. Go High Level is hard to beat on paid advertising: landing pages and ad tracking for campaigns aimed at people who aren’t customers yet.

The short version

Go High Level catches leads and runs campaigns, but it can’t see the job. Connect it to your job software and leads arrive in the diary without retyping, and the review request goes out after the customer has paid.

If your firm runs Go High Level, you can connect it to Mucka on any paid plan.
