Where GHL Custom Domain Setup Pays Off

With a custom domain setup:

  • Your funnels can feel like a brand, not just a tech tool.
  • Your memberships feel like a product, not just an add-on.
  • You can add features like SSL, manage traffic, and even go for a full white-label setup.

Most agencies use custom domains to snag more clients because nothing says “I’m serious” like a clean, client-facing URL.
