For agencies, the best GoHighLevel export tool is one that captures a client's rendered site — every page, asset, and style — as clean static HTML you can host anywhere, without tying the job to the CRM data that leaves GoHighLevel separately. ExportGHL Sites does exactly that: it crawls a whole GoHighLevel property (funnels, websites, blogs, and AI Studio pages), snapshots the live front end, and packages it as a ready-to-host ZIP — ideal for client handoffs, offboarding, and off-platform backups. It will not pull CRM contacts or login-gated content; contacts leave through GoHighLevel's own native CSV export, and gated content like courses and memberships has to be migrated through its own platform.

Agencies have a specific set of needs that a hobbyist exporting a single landing page doesn't share. You're usually moving a whole client property, you need the output to be presentable at handoff, and you need to do it repeatably across many sub-accounts. That points to a rendered-snapshot exporter rather than a code-editor tool, because it can capture any GoHighLevel surface — funnels, marketing sites, blogs, and AI Studio — and crawl multiple pages at once.
ExportGHL Sites is built around that workflow: it renders each live page, waits for GoHighLevel's dynamic scripts to finish, downloads every nested asset, localizes the file paths, and bundles the result as a clean ZIP with migration notes. For a side-by-side look at how it compares to the code-editor tools on the market, see our comparison of the best GoHighLevel export tools.
Why Agencies Export GoHighLevel Sites
Most agencies reach for an exporter for one of four reasons:
- Client handoff. A client wants to own the site you built, or is moving to their own stack. Handing over clean static files is more professional than a login that can be revoked.
- Offboarding and churn. When a client leaves your agency, you can give them a working copy of their site instead of leaving the work stranded inside a sub-account they can no longer reach.
- Off-platform backups. Keeping a static snapshot of each client build means a cancellation, a billing lapse, or an accidental deletion doesn't wipe out months of design work.
- Escaping lock-in. GoHighLevel is a closed ecosystem with no "Export Website" button, so a rendered export is the practical way to keep your builds portable.
GoHighLevel's terms generally govern what happens to hosted pages when an account lapses, and the details vary by plan and agency agreement, so exporting before there's a problem is the safe habit. See how to cancel GoHighLevel and keep your website for the offboarding angle, and backing up GHL sites offsite for the routine-backup angle.
What You Can (and Can't) Export for a Client Handoff
This is where agencies get burned if they're not clear up front, so be honest with clients about what a front-end export does and doesn't include.
What ExportGHL Sites exports: the rendered front end — the HTML, CSS, and JS of each page, plus images, fonts, and other downloaded assets — for funnels, websites, landing pages, blogs, and AI Studio pages. The output is static files you can host on any web host or CDN.
What it does not export:
- CRM contacts and records. Contacts, pipelines, opportunities, and conversations live in the back end, not in a page render. The records GoHighLevel can export — contacts in particular — leave through its own native CSV export inside the sub-account, not through a front-end exporter.
- Login-gated content. Courses, memberships, and client portals sit behind a login, so a rendered exporter can't reach them. Plan to migrate those through their own platform.
- Back-end data and live form submissions. Server-side logic, stored submissions, and automation state aren't part of a page render.
- Working server-side features. Exported pages are static, so GoHighLevel forms, booking calendars, and payment widgets need reconnecting with standard embeds (Calendly, Formspree, Stripe links, and the like) after export.
A clean handoff is usually two moves: export the rendered site with ExportGHL Sites, and export the client's contacts separately via GoHighLevel's native CSV export. Treat them as distinct tasks and nothing falls through the cracks.
Before reaching for a third-party tool, it's worth knowing what GoHighLevel can do on its own — and where it stops.
What's native. Inside GoHighLevel you can export contacts and some records to CSV, and agencies can move whole account configurations between locations using snapshots. Snapshots are powerful for standing up a new sub-account from a template, but they stay inside the GoHighLevel platform — they don't give you hostable code you can run on your own infrastructure. GoHighLevel's exact export and snapshot capabilities change over time, so confirm what your plan offers in the current dashboard.
What's not native. There is no built-in button to download a website or funnel as static HTML/CSS/JS. Using the browser's "Save Page As" breaks layouts, misses background and lazy-loaded assets, and leaves dead references to GoHighLevel form and calendar endpoints. That gap is exactly what a dedicated exporter fills: it renders the page the way a visitor sees it, grabs every nested asset, and rewrites the paths so the site works off-platform.
Rule of thumb: use GoHighLevel's native exports for contacts and for cloning accounts with snapshots; use a rendered exporter when you need a client's actual site as portable, hostable files.
How to Hand Off a Client's GoHighLevel Site
Here's the practical sequence agencies use to hand a site over cleanly.
Step 1: Confirm ownership and scope
Check your client contract so you both agree on who owns the design and what's being transferred. Only export sites you have the right to. Decide up front whether contacts, gated content, or just the public site are in scope — each moves differently.
Step 2: Export the rendered site
Install the ExportGHL Sites Chrome extension, open the client's GoHighLevel site, enter your email, enable rendered snapshot mode plus hidden-page discovery, and run the full-site export. You get a ZIP of clean static HTML, CSS, JS, and assets, with the hidden or unlinked pages crawled automatically.
Step 3: Export contacts and records natively
Inside the GoHighLevel sub-account, use the native CSV export to pull contacts and any other records the client needs. This is a separate step from the site export, and it's the only correct path for CRM data.
Step 4: Reconnect server-side features
Because the exported site is static, swap GoHighLevel forms, calendars, and payment widgets for standard embeds the client can keep running — for example a Calendly booking link or a Formspree form endpoint. The export's included migration notes list what needs reconnecting.
Step 5: Deliver and host
Hand over the ZIP, or deploy it to the client's host or CDN yourself. The files are plain static assets, so they run anywhere — see self-hosting HTML exports if you're standing it up for them.
Doing this across many clients? ExportGHL Sites is one-time pricing for unlimited use (with a free single-page trial), so the per-handoff cost doesn't scale with your client list.
See pricing.
When you're evaluating options for agency use specifically, weigh these against each other:
- Page coverage. Can it export funnels, marketing sites, and blogs — not just AI Studio? Agencies rarely build only one page type.
- Full-site crawl. Does it find hidden and unlinked pages automatically, or do you have to export page by page?
- Output quality. Are assets localized and paths rewritten so the site actually runs off-platform, or do you get broken references?
- Repeatable cost. One-time or credit-based pricing beats per-site fees when you're doing handoffs regularly.
- Try before you buy. A free single-page trial lets you prove the output on a real client site before committing.
ExportGHL Sites is built for exactly this: it covers every GoHighLevel page type, crawls whole properties including hidden pages, delivers localized static files with migration docs, and has a free single-page trial.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best GoHighLevel export tool for agencies?
For most agencies, the best fit is a rendered-snapshot exporter like ExportGHL Sites, because it captures a client's whole GoHighLevel property — funnels, websites, blogs, and AI Studio pages — as clean static HTML, CSS, JS, and assets you can host anywhere. It auto-discovers hidden pages, bundles migration docs, and has a free single-page trial, so you can prove the output on a real client site before you commit.
Does GoHighLevel let agencies export a client's whole website?
GoHighLevel has no native one-click button to export a website or funnel as downloadable code. You can copy some assets manually and move content between sub-accounts or via snapshots inside GHL, but to get a client's site out as hostable static files you need a dedicated exporter that renders each page and downloads its assets.
Can I export a client's contacts and CRM data with ExportGHL?
No. ExportGHL Sites exports the rendered front end — the HTML, CSS, JS, images, and fonts of the pages themselves. It does not pull CRM contacts, pipelines, conversations, or back-end data. Contacts and other records leave GoHighLevel through GHL's own native CSV exports inside the sub-account, not through ExportGHL.
What happens to a client's GoHighLevel site if they cancel?
GoHighLevel's terms generally mean that once a sub-account or plan lapses, access to those hosted pages can be suspended or removed, and timelines vary — check your agency agreement and GoHighLevel's current terms for the specifics that apply to you. Exporting the site to static files beforehand keeps a working copy you control regardless of the account's status.
Can I hand off an exported site to a client who's leaving my agency?
Yes — that's one of the most common agency uses. You export the rendered site to a clean ZIP, hand over the static files, and the client (or their new developer) hosts them anywhere. Reconnect server-side pieces like forms, calendars, and payments with standard embeds, and move any contacts separately via GoHighLevel's native CSV export.
Will login-gated courses or membership content export?
No. A rendered exporter captures the public front end it can load in the browser. Content locked behind a login — courses, memberships, and client portals — and live form submissions are not part of a front-end export. Plan to rebuild or migrate gated content through its own platform or a native migration path.
Is it allowed to export a client's GoHighLevel site?
A front-end exporter captures the design and content of pages you own or manage — the HTML, CSS, images, and assets. Only export sites you have the right to, and confirm ownership and handoff terms in your client contract. For anything about GoHighLevel's own usage terms, check your agency agreement and GHL's current terms.
