If you’re a digital marketer or agency owner using Go HighLevel, you already know the immense power of SMS campaigns for lead reactivation, nurturing, and closing sales. But what happens when you hit Go HighLevel’s SMS sending limits just as your campaigns are gaining momentum?
Today, you’ll learn a simple yet powerful ramp trick to increase your SMS limits efficiently and in compliance with Go HighLevel’s requirements. This step-by-step tutorial walks you through:
✅ Why SMS limits exist in Go HighLevel
✅ The challenges agencies face when ramping SMS limits
✅ The exact step-by-step method to increase limits using automations
✅ Pro tips to ensure you never lose momentum with your campaigns
This tutorial is based on Flexxable’s agency-tested approach that powers high-volume database reactivation campaigns for their clients.
Why Do SMS Limits Exist in Go HighLevel?
SMS sending limits are implemented to protect carrier networks from spam and to ensure compliance with telecommunications regulations. For new accounts, Go HighLevel starts with a 100 SMS per day limit, which gradually increases as you build sending reputation and demonstrate compliant use.
For agencies running database reactivation campaigns, like Flexxable does with performance-based offers, these limits can feel restrictive. Imagine reactivating 4,000 leads per day with multiple SMS touchpoints to book appointments – you’ll hit that limit quickly.
First Step: Always Ask Go HighLevel Support
Before using the ramp trick, the first step is to request an SMS limit increase directly from Go HighLevel support. Here’s how:
Contact Go HighLevel support via live chat or ticket.
Confirm you are compliant with SMS usage and consent standards.
Explain your campaign volume and purpose clearly.
Most of the time, support will approve incremental increases if your account is in good standing. However, if they decline or limit increases are too slow for your campaign goals, you can implement the following ramp automation strategy.
Step-by-Step: The Go HighLevel Ramp Trick Tutorial
This method involves two Go HighLevel accounts (your agency account and the client’s sub-account) SMSing each other in an automated loop to build your daily sending reputation organically. Here’s exactly how to set it up:
Step 1. Download the Ramp Snapshot
Flexxable has created a ready-made workflow snapshot for this ramping strategy. You can download it here ➡️ Ramp Snapshot
Step 2. Import the Snapshot
Log into your Go HighLevel agency account.
Go to ‘Snapshots’ and click ‘Import Snapshot’.
Upload the downloaded ramp snapshot.
Assign it to both your agency sub-account and the client account you want to ramp.
Step 3. Set Up The Automation
Navigate to Automations in each account.
Activate the imported workflow.
This workflow will:
Send an SMS from Account A to Account B.
Wait for a reply.
Send another SMS back, repeating the cycle.
The workflow is designed to send 10 SMS in a loop, building your daily send count progressively.
Step 4. Monitor Your SMS Limit Increase
Once you activate the automation:
✅ Monitor your SMS usage dashboard in Go HighLevel.
✅ Watch your limits increase from 100 to 250, then 350, then 500+ over days.
Important:
Ramp gradually.
Don’t spam real contacts; only use this automation between your own test accounts to build reputation.
After reaching the daily limit, pause the automation for 24 hours before rerunning it to achieve the next ramp stage.
Step 5. Confirm & Repeat
After each ramp session:
Confirm your new SMS limit with Go HighLevel support if needed.
Repeat the ramp workflow daily until you reach your desired limit.

This method works because it adheres to Go HighLevel’s sending reputation rules. By sending compliant, consistent SMS in gradual increments, your account demonstrates safe and scalable usage, unlocking higher daily limits essential for:
