Migrating your CRM system from Zoho to GoHighLevel (GHL) can feel overwhelming especially when critical customer data, automations, and business workflows are at stake. But with the right approach and a trusted partner like VA Matters, the transition can be seamless, secure, and even transformative.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of migrating from Zoho to GoHighLevel, highlight common challenges, and explain how VA Matters’ expert CRM migration services ensure zero data loss, minimized downtime, and maximum business continuity.
While Zoho CRM is a solid platform for managing customer relationships, many businesses are switching to GoHighLevel for its all-in-one features, agency-focused tools, and deep automation capabilities. Here’s why:
Built-in funnel builder & landing pages
White-label client portals for agencies
Native call tracking & SMS automation
Integrated pipelines, calendars & reputation management
Simplified automation (no need for external tools like Zapier)
If you’re scaling your business, running a digital agency, or simply looking for more automation without multiple tools, GHL is a powerful Zoho CRM alternative.
custMigrating from Zoho CRM to GoHighLevel involves careful planning and execution. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process we follow at VA Matters:
Before touching any data, we:
Analyze your existing Zoho CRM setup
Identify all modules: leads, contacts, deals, workflows, reports, etc.
List 3rd-party integrations and API connections
Develop a custom CRM migration checklist tailored to your business
Goal: Avoid missing critical data or processes.
We securely extract:
Contacts, companies, notes
Deals, tasks, tags
Custom fields & user-assigned data
Automation rules and workflows (for mapping)
Pro Tip: Always back up your Zoho data before exporting.
GoHighLevel’s structure is different from Zoho’s. We:

Rebuild custom fields and forms
Prepare contact segmentation to match your campaigns
We configure:
Pipelines, calendars, and appointment workflows

Import clean, mapped data into GoHighLevel
Test entries to ensure correct placement
Validate email, phone, and task associations

Zoho automation rules in GoHighLevel workflows

Then we run QA tests to ensure every funnel and automation works flawlessly.
