Migrating from one customer relationship management (CRM) platform to another can feel overwhelming. If you’ve been running your business on Copper CRM and are now exploring a move to GoHighLevel , you’re not alone. Many business owners and agencies are realizing that GHL offers more robust automation, integrated marketing, and streamlined communication tools compared to Copper. But making the jump requires a careful, structured approach.
At VA Matters, we specialize in Copper CRM to GHL migration services ensuring that your valuable business data moves seamlessly, without disruption to your daily operations. In this article, we’ll explore why businesses are making the switch, what challenges you might face, and how our team ensures a smooth, efficient migration.
Copper CRM has long been known for its Google Workspace integration and simplicity. However, as businesses grow, many find they need advanced marketing automation, SMS campaigns, pipeline flexibility, and an all-in-one platform. This is where GoHighLevel (GHL) shines.
With GHL, agencies and entrepreneurs gain access to:
Multi-channel marketing automation (SMS, email, voicemail drops).
Built-in sales funnels and landing pages.
Scalable pipelines and opportunity tracking.
Integrated calendars and reputation management.
For teams hitting the limits of Copper, moving to GHL isn’t just an upgrade it’s a strategy for scaling growth
