GHLNZ was born by SME Marketing and Sales, our parent business, who has been using the software for their Agency SMEDiGi since 2021. We have decided to hang up the Agency hat and hand the end users over to you so we can concentrate on helping NZ Agency owners grow their businesses and modify the software for the New Zealand market.

We can help navigate business and agencies through the setup, either yourself with a snapshot, done-for-you with our team or assign your own Virtual Assistant. Let's get you up and running faster than you would on your own.

Suzanne Edington, Founder GhlNZ

Suzanne has a strong background in sales and marketing and has worked with hundreds of businesses across New Zealand. She has formed strong relationships with her clients and enjoyed watching their businesses grow from strength to strength.

Suzanne has had various roles over the last 30 years, with an extensive marketing, sales, building and construction backgrounds along with owning her own Agency for many years. These roles have gained her a lot of knowledge and skills to help business owners succeed. Her main focus is to ensure businesses have a business plan, goals and a good understanding of their industry and market. Being alongside a business owner to gain them confidence is where Suzanne excels. It's daunting being a superstar in a field that a business owner knows but knowing all about marketing, sales and systems can often be the shortfall and struggle.

Suzanne has enjoyed hanging up the hat of an Agency owner and has spent some time building the HighLevel name in NZ but found there was little support here. By no means is she the HighLevel expert in NZ but she has formed some very strong relationships and wants businesses to learn from her costly mistakes and support them where she can.

Why did we choose HighLevel?

We literally fell upon HighLevel while trying to help a client. With our digital background we wanted to combine systems, sales and marketing in an all-in-one tool..... and boy was it a game changer!! No more juggling multiple systems and getting client passwords. It's all in one system that we want to share and help you solve your problems too. You're welcome :)

Check out the 5 reasons below.

Money and time.

Time and money. Two things we can’t ever have enough of. Agency owners specifically, are experiencing a major shortage of both. The digital world is getting more and more competitive, and with every new “solution” comes another expense, and more maintenance (time) is required just to keep up. According to the Digital Marketing Institute survey, 30% of marketers cited “keeping up with industry trends” as their biggest challenge while 38% of marketers cited “standing out in a crowded market” as their biggest challenge.

Technology is the horse that pulls the cart, and it is extremely hard for agencies to keep up with every new software that is introduced or stay up to date with the myriad of features these companies produce every day. Managing an ever-increasing tech stack is also very time-consuming and can end up contributing to a larger overhead than is necessary. This is why HighLevel has become a game-changer for many agencies.

Being part of the Highlevel community will be that game changer for you. With their weekly workshops, online Facebook advise and weekly updates of new features helps you stay ahead. Hire a Virtual Assistant and they can be on top of the new features and roll it out to you while you're in front of your clients. Newsletters can be created by them with a sales pitch to your clients making you look like the expert in the field.

HighLevel is not just a software company. they are on a mission to help entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses that scale, impact their communities, and achieve their financial dreams. Every product they release and update is aimed at seeing that happen. They want to see agency owners and their teams make more, save more and work less.

How?

So glad you asked. Here are five ways HighLevel can make that happen.

SaaS Mode

By operating on SaaS mode, agency owners not only significantly reduce overhead technology costs for themselves and their clients, but they also introduce a new, dependable profit center for their business. Imagine paying $497 usd for unlimited seats and you on charge your clients $200 a month for all the tech they need. They get rid of their subscriptions to Timely, Mailchimp, Wix and the like and they're saving money, you're saving money and your monthly ROI goes through the roof.

Rather than remain bound to the traditional fee-for-service model, SaaS agency owners are no longer trading time for money, which means they are one step closer to working on their businesses rather than in them.

Because HighLevel helps automate traditionally manual tasks and processes (see below), business owners stand to recuperate a great deal of time, which they can reinvest into scaling their companies, especially if they combine SaaS with a traditional fee-for-service model. Limited on time and resources, hire a VA with us. Job done!

Automation

In the world of solopreneurship, time is money. Ghl's full-service automated network gives agency owners their time back, so they can spend it building relationships with their clients and closing more deals.

Through HighLevel’s sophisticated automation network, i.e., everything within HighLevel is connected through trigger systems. This allows agency owners and businesses to reduce manual administrative activity that they might have to add staff to perform. Employ Ai and you're saving even more time and you can on charge the use of the Employee within SaaS

With built-in artificial intelligence, HighLevel’s automated messaging system allows agency owners to nurture conversations without having to lift a finger — saving them time and money spent on manual output.

Consolidation

HighLevel has consolidated the marketing tool belt under one roof and is continually evolving its capabilities. Agency owners are no longer beholden to shiny object syndrome and therefore save money.

Because there are no longer a multitude of technologies for agencies to manage, agency owners can reduce operational costs by reducing the number of dedicated support specialists required for fulfillment.

With everything an agency owner needs to succeed housed under one roof, there is no longer time wasted to shuffling between platforms, logging into a multitude of software, navigating through password keepers for the correct login info, and figuring out how to actually use those software in conjunction with everything else.

HighLevel’s Lead Connector App consolidates communication channels and designates them to one place. Agency owners can engage with existing and prospective clients quickly and easily, thereby sparing them from missed opportunities and lost revenue.

Education

The Go High Level Education Programme is a comprehensive training initiative designed specifically to empower digital marketing agencies. At its core, the programme provides step-by-step instruction on leveraging the Go High Level platform—an all-in-one CRM, sales funnel, and automation system—tailored to agency workflows. Participants are guided through everything from client onboarding to advanced automation setups, helping them deliver high-value services to their clients while streamlining internal operations. The curriculum is structured for both beginners and seasoned agency owners, offering foundational tutorials as well as in-depth strategies.

One of the key strengths of the programme is its hands-on, results-driven approach. Agencies don’t just learn theory; they’re encouraged to implement what they learn in real time, using checklists, templates, and pre-built campaigns. Modules often include live demos, real-world use cases, and access to a community where members can share insights, get feedback, and troubleshoot issues. This ecosystem fosters collaboration and continual learning, which is especially valuable in the fast-evolving digital marketing landscape.

Systemisation

HighLevel offers agency owners a dependable SYSTEM, not just a suite of isolated technologies – it is no secret that systemisation leads to improved processes and productivity, which, therefore, saves money!

When agency owners make good use of the tools HighLevel offers to help clients automate their own businesses and drive more leads, there is less time and money spent on originality and reinventing the wheel, and time instead is focused on maintenance and optimization: much less time-consuming tasks..

Final Word

HighLevel is built by agency lovers for agency owners.

We get the struggle which is why we strive to empower every agency to break the chains of the marketing rat race and accelerate to a higher level.

We passionately pursue having an ever-increasing customer IQ. With this intimate and in-depth understanding and sensitivity toward the hiccups, hindrances and hurdles that our customers are facing, we are able to enhance every stage of our product’s evolution.

The result? A product that displays keen intuition and that is able to ingeniously address problems our customers have before they even knew those problems existed.Especially the ones that cost you time and money.
