I’ve been using GoHighLevel’s Social Planner for about 90 days and I’m running into a key issue that directly affects my willingness to pay for the LinkedIn Ad Manager add‑on.
Context: Social Planner Analytics Limitations
Right now, Social Planner analytics in my account are:
Often missing or inconsistent vs. native platform data
Limited to a default 7‑day view, which isn’t very useful for real campaign analysis (30/60/90‑day views are much more strategic)
Because of this, I still have to log in to each native platform to validate numbers. That undermines the “all‑in‑one” promise and makes it hard to rely on GHL as my central reporting hub.
Impact on Ad Manager Adoption
I want to start using the GHL Ad Manager for LinkedIn ads, but the additional $29/month is hard to justify when the foundational social analytics are not yet robust or reliable.
From a user (and business) perspective, it feels out of sync to charge extra for advanced ad management when the core reporting layer for organic is still underdeveloped.
Suggestions
To turn this into a win‑win for users and GHL, I’d love to see:
Stronger Social Planner analytics foundation, including:
More complete and consistent metrics across platforms
Clearer refresh logic / data source explanations
More strategic default ranges (e.g., last 30/60/90 days, plus custom)
Better alignment between analytics maturity and Ad Manager pricing, for example:
Temporary bundling or discounting Ad Manager for active Social Planner users while analytics are improved
A 60–90 day Ad Manager trial for users willing to give structured feedback and share results
Transparent roadmap updates on Social Planner analytics so we can plan our reporting and ad spend around it
Why this matters
Users like me are ready to go “all‑in” and run both organic and paid campaigns inside GHL. But to confidently add another paid feature, we need:
Trustworthy analytics in Social Planner
Date ranges that match how agencies and businesses actually report on performance
A sense that pricing reflects where the product is today, not just where it’s headed
I’m happy to provide examples of analytics gaps and participate in beta testing or feedback sessions. This feels like a great opportunity for GHL to increase adoption of Ad Manager while strengthening the core Social Planner experience for everyone.
