Hi, I'm Talha. I set up GoHighLevel so your leads don't get forgotten.
CRMs, funnels, booking calendars, AI chatbots, email and SMS. I work from Lahore, and I've worked with clients in the US and Canada.

A bit about me
I'm Talha, from Lahore. I studied Artificial Intelligence at university and started out as a Python intern at Netsol. After that I moved into working directly with clients in the US and Canada, writing proposals, negotiating and keeping the relationship going.
Today I'm an automation engineer at Funnel Zone. Most of my days go into GoHighLevel, along with n8n, Make.com and a bit of Python and HTML when a job needs it.
Because I've been on the sales side, I know most people don't want a lecture on how a workflow works. They want their leads handled and their calendar filled. That's what I try to build.
What I do
These are the things clients ask me for most.
CRM Setup & Management
Contacts, custom fields, tags, pipelines, team permissions and merge fields. I set it up so your team can actually find things.
Lead Follow-up Automation
A new lead comes in, gets a reply, and a task lands with the right person. Nobody has to remember.
Booking Calendars
Calendars that confirm bookings by themselves, so there is no back and forth over messages.
AI Chatbots & Voice Agents
Bots that qualify leads, answer common questions, book appointments and pick up inbound calls. I use Conversation AI inside GHL, plus OpenAI and Claude where they help.
Funnels & Landing Pages
Landing pages, websites, sales, webinar and VSL pages, booking, thank-you and checkout pages, and full funnels. All of them work properly on mobile.
E-commerce Stores
Product catalogs, variants, shipping zones, flat-rate and weight-based rates, local delivery and in-store pickup. Order confirmations and tracking go out automatically.
Shopify Store Setup & Management
I build Shopify stores, adjust them with apps and theme changes, manage them for clients, and link them to GoHighLevel for order and customer follow-ups.
Payments & Invoicing
Stripe and PayPal checkout and invoices, connected to your CRM.
Forms & Surveys
Custom forms and surveys that send an automatic reply and route each enquiry to the right person.
Email, SMS & WhatsApp
Email campaigns, bulk Gmail outreach, SMS and WhatsApp automation. I also do the A2P registration, which is what keeps your texts and calls reaching people.
Newsletters & Blogs
Newsletter signups with a welcome sequence, and blogs set up inside GoHighLevel.
Email Warmup
Workflows that raise your daily sending volume slowly, so a new domain doesn't land in spam on day one.
Reviews & Reputation
Automatic review requests after a job or a purchase, and a way to keep an eye on what people say about you.
Reporting Dashboards
Dashboards that show your leads and conversions, so you can see what a campaign is really doing.
Integrations
GoHighLevel connected to your other tools with APIs, webhooks, Zapier, Make, n8n and WordPress. That includes Meta Ads, Meta Pixel, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for tracking where leads come from.
Domain & DNS Setup
Connecting your own domain to GHL funnels and websites, and adding the DNS records so your pages and emails work.
Membership & Course Setup
Membership sites and online courses in GoHighLevel, with member logins, paid access and automatic emails.
SaaS Mode, Snapshots & Sub-Accounts
SaaS mode, reusable snapshots and sub-account setup, so a new client account doesn't start from zero.
Missed Call Text Back & Reminders
A text goes out straight away when you miss a call. Reminders and no-show follow-ups help keep the calendar full.
Nurture & Reactivation Campaigns
Email and SMS sequences for new leads, and for old ones who went quiet.
Client Onboarding Systems
Welcome messages, forms and tasks that run on their own when a new client signs up.
Tools I've connected
Most businesses already use a few of these. I hook them up to GoHighLevel so the data goes where it should.

What it's like working with me
I keep the CRM tidy
Clean contacts, pipelines that make sense, tags with proper names. A messy account slows everyone down, so I fix that first.
I explain things plainly
You'll get short updates and honest timelines. I've dealt with clients in the US and Canada, so I know how much clear messages matter.
I've done the sales side too
I've written proposals, negotiated and looked after client relationships. So I think about your leads and sales, not only the settings.
I build it to be added to
Later on you might want another workflow or a new team member. I set things up so that doesn't break what already works.

Things people ask me
What do you actually do?
I set up GoHighLevel for businesses: CRM, workflows, pipelines, funnels, booking calendars, forms, email and SMS, online stores, AI chatbots and voice agents. I also connect GHL to other tools.
Can you work with tools outside GoHighLevel?
Yes. I've connected GHL with Airtable, n8n, Zapier, Make.com, Stripe, PayPal, Google Sheets, Gmail, Meta Lead Forms and the OpenAI API, using APIs and webhooks.
Do you build AI chatbots and voice agents?
Yes, I've built more than four. They qualify leads, answer customer questions, book appointments and take inbound calls.
I already have a GHL account. Can you take it over?
Yes. I've looked after 10+ client accounts. Send me the details and I'll tell you honestly what needs fixing and what can stay as it is.
Will my texts and calls actually get through?
I do the A2P registration as part of the setup. Without it, a lot of SMS and calls get blocked.
Where do you work from?
Lahore, Pakistan. My clients have been in the US and Canada, so I'm used to working across time zones.
How do I get started?
Send me an email or a message on LinkedIn. Tell me a bit about your business and what's bothering you, and we'll go from there.
Email is the quickest way to reach me, but any of these works.
