⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Work continuously on each project and completed in a timely manner." — Mike Need a GoHighLevel Expert who builds reliable systems, streamlines operations, and delivers every project on time, without you chasing for updates? Are you tired of GoHighLevel Funnels that don't convert and a GHL Website that brings zero leads? That stops today. I'm a GoHighLevel Expert who builds systems that make your business run smoother, convert better, and grow faster. 📌 Real Client Story — Here's What I Did for Mike: Mike came to me needing a dependable GoHighLevel Expert, someone who could take full ownership of his GoHighLevel setup, execute efficiently, and make sure everything was completed correctly and on schedule. He didn't want to micromanage. He just needed it done right. That's exactly what I delivered. Working closely with Mike to understand his business requirements and objectives, I implemented solutions that transformed his entire GoHighLevel environment: ■ Built and configured key GoHighLevel assets and workflows from the ground up ■ Set up and optimized GoHighLevel automations to eliminate manual, repetitive tasks ■ Organized his CRM pipelines and improved lead management across the board ■ Troubleshot technical issues to ensure seamless GoHighLevel functionality ■ Made updates and refinements throughout the project as his needs evolved ■ Maintained consistent communication and timely delivery at every stage What happened after? The project was completed successfully, with every task delivered on time and exactly to specification. Within the first few weeks of the new system going live, Mike's team saw a 50% improvement in operational efficiency, spending significantly less time on manual tasks and more time focusing on growing the business. Mike appreciated the consistency, responsiveness, and professionalism I brought throughout the entire engagement. His words said it best: "Work continuously on each project and completed in a timely manner." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For me, every GoHighLevel project is about more than completing tasks — it's about creating systems that help businesses operate more efficiently while giving clients a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish. 🔧 My GoHighLevel Expert Services: ✅ GoHighLevel Funnel design & implementation ✅ GHL Website design & development ✅ GoHighLevel CRM & automation setup ✅ GoHighLevel Email Marketing & campaigns ✅ GoHighLevel SaaS configuration & white-label branding ✅ GoHighLevel Calendar, appointments & opportunity management ✅ GoHighLevel Membership, community & store setup ✅ GoHighLevel Snapshot creation & subaccount management ✅ GoHighLevel Integrations — Twilio, Stripe, Zapier, Mailgun ✅ GHL AI Agents & workflow automation 🏆 Industries I've Served with GoHighLevel: My GoHighLevel Funnel and GHL Website work spans across: ✅ Coaches, consultants & online course creators ✅ Digital marketing agencies ✅ Real estate & mortgage businesses ✅ Healthcare, med spas & wellness brands ✅ E-commerce & SaaS companies ✅ Home services & local businesses No matter your niche, I bring the same GoHighLevel Expert precision, reliability, and results-focus to every build. 📩 Need a GoHighLevel Funnel, a converting GHL Website, or a fully automated GoHighLevel system?

Event Automation, Event Tracking, Lead Scoring, Reporting, ‘Smart Templates’ using conditional content, CRM Pipeline and Stage development, Forms development and deployment, Date Sentinels, Logic, Sorting/Segmentation to match messaging, Email Templates, and more are some of the items we have experience with and can assist on. We design and implement your events and outcomes into ActiveCampaign so to fully utilize features and functions. All development work is well documented and done in a modular fashion. Typically, we provide; • Data Dictionary • Video Development Library • Design Journal • Lucid Chart schematics If we need data from another application in the tech stack (which we can help define), we first try and use native (free) connectors, then Zapier and can provide the optional custom programming to bridge the systems via the API if needed. If ActiveCampaign is the core of your marketing automation and you experience any of the following pain points, we can help; • Cluttered and hard to manage pipelines. • Lack of metrics and attribution to measure success. • Haphazard system development work without documentation. • Inefficient data integration or data capture. • Off-the-shelf automations that lack logic and are ineffective. • Data disorganization and system entropy. If there is continued interest, please send a message and we can discuss the options. Thanks for your interest. - Steve

Upworks Expert-Vetted (Top 1% of 12 Million Talent) marketing expert who has helped thousands of businesses build multiple 7-8 figure businesses over the past 10+ years. Most businesses don't have a traffic problem. They have a system problem. I build the marketing and sales systems that turn inconsistent revenue into a predictable, scalable engine, and I help companies deploy AI to do it faster, leaner, and with higher margins than any traditional team can match. I've helped my companies generate over $10M in revenue as the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) I recently helped a marketing agency replace its entire 25-person internal marketing department with AI-powered systems. The result: higher performance, better margins, and infrastructure that scales without adding headcount. That's what's possible when strategy meets the right system. I've spent 10+ years as the hands-on revenue operator inside businesses ranging from funded startups to Fortune 50 companies, not as a consultant who hands off a deck, but as the operator who builds and runs the system. - $10M+ in revenue generated across 12+ companies - 1.5M leads built from scratch - 83 businesses scaled to $50K/month - 12 companies built and launched from scratch - Worked with small businesses, A-list celebrities, and Fortune 50 companies Don't take my word for it; scroll down and read my reviews and case studies. Areas of expertise... - You have traffic, but revenue is inconsistent and hard to predict - You're paying a team or agency and getting activity, not results - Your sales and marketing motion lives in someone's head with no system behind it - You want to use AI but don't know what to automate, what to keep human, and how to integrate it without breaking what works - Your growth is capped because the infrastructure can't scale with you What makes me different than everyone else: I built and launched 12 different companies from scratch and have built multi-million dollar businesses. I also have a unique ability where I understand both marketing, technology, and psychology, at a deep level. I'm not an AI vendor. I'm a revenue strategist who understands AI deeply enough to deploy it as a growth weapon. I know what to automate, what to keep human, and how to build systems where AI handles the volume and your team handles the relationships. The businesses I work with come out the other side with stronger margins, faster execution, and a team that's 10x more effective, without 10x the headcount. I also have a unique ability to operate at the intersection of marketing, technology, and psychology, which is what separates a system that looks good from one that actually generates revenue. - Marketing & Sales System Architecture - AI-Powered Automation & Workflow Integration - Email Marketing & Sequences (ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo) - Funnel Strategy & Conversion Optimization - Facebook & Google Ads - Omnichannel Revenue Strategy - Sales Organization Design & Optimization - Full Business Audits, Marketing, Sales & Operations How We Work Together: Step 1: Revenue Audit Send me your website and current funnel. I'll deliver a full video audit identifying exactly where revenue is leaking, where AI can replace cost, and what to fix first. Step 2: System Build & Implementation We build the sequences, automations, pages, and integrations designed to convert and scale. Step 3: Ongoing Optimization Continuous testing, optimization, and scaling. Clear reporting and a system that compounds over time. ⚡ I take on a limited number of new engagements at a time. Send me your website and where growth is stalling, traffic to conversion, lead to meeting, or meeting to close. I'll send you a full video audit within 48 hours. *I do not reschedule unattended meetings without prior notice.

I BUILD AI SYSTEMS THAT CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT YOUR TOOLS COULD DO AND WHAT ACTUALLY GETS DONE. ⭐ Top Rated on Upwork, 5.0 across 129 jobs 🌎 US Citizen based in the Philippines (GMT+8) | Working AU & US Hours Most business owners didn't sign up to be human middleware between a dozen tools. But here we are. You're not looking for AI. You're looking for relief. I've spent 25+ years in information technology: managing systems, running teams, writing SOPs, handling CRM handoffs, and cleaning up the messes nobody documented. I know what automation has to survive inside because I've lived in it. I am also a registered Anthropic (Claude) Partner, and I run my own practice on a custom AI operating system I built from scratch. I'm not selling you something I haven't lived. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▌ THE REAL PROBLEM ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Here's the thing: if you're reading this, you already know AI exists. You've probably already tried it. Maybe you downloaded a "game-changing" automation tool that required a 40-minute setup tutorial just to send a single email. It helped a little in a demo, then it didn't deliver, and then you stopped using it. Most problems aren't really about tools. Work gets stuck between inboxes, spreadsheets, people, and decisions nobody wrote down: who owns what, what happens at the handoff, and what breaks when someone's out. What you actually needed wasn't another tool. It was someone to build the right thing for your specific situation, keep your judgment where it belongs, and make sure the system keeps running when you're busy running your business. That's a different skillset. That's what I do. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▌ WHAT I ACTUALLY BUILD (AND THE PROOF) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I don't sell subscriptions to AI platforms. I don't hand you a black box and walk away. I engineer systems documented so they live in your business, meaning a lean team operates like a big one. ▸ HEALTHCARE ADMIN & TRIAGE: A client was drowning in 2,400 emails/month. I built a HIPAA-aware system that reads, sorts, references policies, and drafts replies (with human approval). 15 minutes per case dropped to under 2. The 48-hour backlog vanished. ▸ AVIATION & CRM AUTOMATION: An aviation broker was losing 15-30 minutes of hand work on every lead. I built n8n pipelines (with Claude and HubSpot) for lead enrichment, landing-page content generation, and post-flight follow-ups. Lead prep dropped to near-zero. ▸ CONSTRUCTION & DOCUMENT INTEGRATION: Paperwork chaos for every new crew. I turned 11 disconnected tools into a 60-page SOP manual using AI. In the field, reports landing in inboxes are automatically read and flowed into systems like SIMPRO — cost centers populated, parts logged — without a single copy-paste. ▸ AI OPERATING SYSTEMS & GOVERNANCE: I set up custom AI frameworks and agents on Claude Code. Every system I build has guardrails. Your AI doesn't send emails without your review, it doesn't hallucinate client names, and it doesn't go rogue on a Friday night. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▌ THE TECH STACK ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▪ Workflows & Agents: n8n (my depth, deterministic routing), Make, Zapier, production AI agents (Hermes, OpenClaw, custom) ▪ AI Models: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini (to read, sort, draft, decide), with human approval where it matters ▪ Data & APIs: Supabase, Airtable, Postgres, Google Sheets, REST and webhook integrations, RAG ▪ CRM & Where Work Lives: HubSpot, ClickUp, Airtable, Notion, Monday, Google Workspace ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▌ HOW I WORK ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ LISTEN: I start by understanding your operations, your bottlenecks, and the work your team does that no one talks about because "it's just how it is." BLUEPRINT: I map out the system — which agents, what they do, how they hand off, and what happens when something breaks. You get a clear document. No jargon. BUILD: I engineer and deploy the system iteratively in your environment. You see working pieces, not a big reveal at the end. GOVERN: Every deployment includes monitoring, guardrails, and an escalation path. If something breaks, you know about it before your clients do. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▌ SOUND LIKE YOUR BUSINESS? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Message me with two things: The one workflow eating the most time right now. What tools you're using today. I'll tell you straight whether automation is the right move and what it takes to fix it.
