Services by Progress Akande
GoHighLevel setup and automation connects lead capture, sales pipelines and follow-up in one operating system. Progress Akande configures GoHighLevel, Twilio, Make, n8n and Zapier for coaches, agencies and service businesses that need organized records, working funnels and reliable handoffs instead of a collection of disconnected settings.

The scope
A useful CRM makes the next action obvious. A new inquiry, a qualified prospect and a customer awaiting onboarding are different states with different responsibilities. I help define those states before creating stages so the pipeline reflects how you sell rather than a generic template. Custom fields store information that deserves a stable place; tags identify groups or conditions without becoming a substitute for meaningful records.
Account and sub-account setup also requires clear ownership. The people answering leads need the access required for their tasks, while sensitive settings should remain controlled. We review the existing configuration before replacing anything and agree which historical records and working assets must be preserved. Fixing an account does not mean rebuilding every part of it.
SMS to US numbers requires appropriate A2P 10DLC registration for applicable local-number business messaging. Registration, consent practices and message content need attention before a workflow is treated as ready. A completed automation cannot override carrier requirements or guarantee message delivery. We identify what your business must provide and verify the sending path with realistic tests.
Email sending should be authenticated with SPF, DKIM and DMARC. DNS records must match the sending services actually in use, and existing mail should not be disrupted by careless changes. I review the intended domain and sending arrangement, then test follow-up content, reply handling and suppression behavior. Authentication is a foundation, not a promise that every message reaches an inbox.
Forms and calendars are tested together with the workflow that receives them. A booked appointment should update the right record and stop inappropriate nurture messages. Cancellations, reschedules and repeat submissions need their own paths. Reputation and review requests are tied to sensible service milestones rather than sent indiscriminately.
AI chat and voice inside GoHighLevel should follow defined boundaries and hand a conversation to a person when the request goes beyond those boundaries. Webhook and API integrations extend the account where necessary, but each connection needs a known source of truth. At handover you receive an explanation of what runs automatically, what staff must do and where to look when something fails.
The Growth Engine
I inspect the account, lead sources, pipeline and workflows before changing settings. We identify duplicate records, missed transitions and communication failures against your real sales process.
We define the offer, qualification questions and next action for each lead stage. Your funnel message and follow-up should set expectations the business can actually fulfill.
I configure the account, fields, forms, calendars and pages in a deliberate sequence. Test contacts move through the journey while you review the wording and staff responsibilities.
Workflows connect the stages with email, SMS and integration actions. I check re-entry, opt-outs, ownership and failed actions before documenting how you maintain the finished setup.
Client experience
Akande is great to work with. I highly recommend working with him, as his knowledge of Go High Level for the things that I've needed help with has been on point. He is eager to go above and beyond to help and I really appreciate that.
Akande did an excellent job building our AI Voice and Chat Agents and automating workflows in n8n and Make.com. He integrated Twilio, GoHighLevel and APIs to create scalable systems for lead capture, qualification and follow-up. He is professional reliable and detail oriented and I would highly recommend him.
Yes. I inspect the current configuration and identify which settings or workflows need repair. Existing working assets are preserved where appropriate, with the repair scope agreed before work starts.
Applicable business messaging through US local numbers requires A2P 10DLC registration. Consent and carrier requirements still apply after registration. We check the intended sending arrangement rather than assuming a connected number is ready.
Connections can use available integrations, webhooks or APIs. I first check what the other application supports and which system should own each record. Unsupported access or missing permissions must be resolved before that connection can work.
Yes, including lead forms, booking paths and connected follow-up. The page structure follows your offer and qualification process. Content approvals are part of the agreed scope.
Each project is scoped and quoted before work starts. The quote includes deliverables, required access and a timeline. An account repair and a complete setup are assessed separately.
