Remove Agency Level GHL Banner Ads and Pop Ups From Displaying in Sub-Accounts
I have experienced a frustrating amount of surveys, banner ads and other marketing messages being forced into our Agency level users dashboards when viewing the sub-accounts on our platform. This is just annoying at best and in our case, we are not needing any of these ads. Furthermore when we attempt to do a Zoom demo of the software or do some training with our clients, we are constantly being shown big obnoxious GHL banner ads, surveys and pop ups throughout the dashboard while trying to demo the software. I love GHL but this is just a very troubling thing and if it was something I had known was going to happen, would have seriously made me re-consider using GHL in the first place. As agency owners we are paying a great deal of extra $$ for the "white label" software, yet we have zero control over the banners, surveys, and pop ups being forced into our Agency sub-accounts. There should be a very easy "opt out of all GHL ads, pop ups and surveys inside this Agency's sub-accounts" option somewhere in our agency settings. We can check the box, hit save and no more ads in any sub-accounts. Simple! I reached out to support about this and got a "they can't be removed, you can use custom CSS to hide them" response. They don't seem to care that this is a big impediment to being able to do software demos. I should not have to create special demo Admin accounts or edit the CSS of the dashboard to be able to do a simple demo for a customer when I am already logged in as an Agency admin, just to force GHL's ads to not display in software I pay for it to not have ads and branding. So according to GHL support we as GHL Agencies, should have to pay for a "white label" solution and then be forced to have ads put into our sub-account dashboards we don't want or did not ask for? Then the solution is... you have to spend your time hunting down the CSS selectors for these ads, to then add more code to your dashboard, just to not display ads in a software we are paying for to not have ads or branding in it. It just makes no sense to me. Please make these ads, pop ups and surveys optional ASAP. Run ads in my Agency Dashboard ONLY, I don't care, but please keep ALL THINGS GHL out of my sub-account dashboards, that is not the place for ads of any kind. It is not only annoying for the reasons listed above, but it is not fair. We pay for "white label" software.

🚨 Offboarding Workflow & Add-On Management for SaaS Cancellations
Agencies running SaaS Mode in HighLevel are vulnerable to unexpected costs and poor client experience when subaccounts cancel their subscriptions. Currently, there is no automated offboarding process, which leads to: Add-ons continuing to bill after SaaS is canceled Clients losing access to key services (like WordPress) without warning Agencies being charged for add-ons even when no payment method exists No safeguards, notifications, or scalable system to manage this at scale 🔥 Real-World Example A client canceled their SaaS plan, but: Their WordPress add-on remained active No payment method was on file (deleted during suspension) We, the agency, were billed for WordPress, Twilio, and other services The client didn’t realize they lost site access until it was too late There was no warning, no offboarding, and no automation — just surprise charges and confusion 🧠 Core Issues Add-ons continue billing separately after SaaS cancellation No offboarding flow to explain what happens next No notifications to the agency or client when: A card is removed Add-ons remain active Manual work is needed to cancel every add-on per subaccount Clients unaware of asset loss (WordPress site, domain, number, etc.) No archive or “maintenance” mode to pause access while preserving assets 💡 Suggested Improvements ✅ Build a Structured Offboarding Workflow: On SaaS cancellation, show: Current active add-ons (e.g. WordPress, Listings, Domains) Cost implications Options to retain or remove each Impact to business and assets if canceled Time/money already invested in setup Require double confirmation from the client that they understand the consequences ✅ Add Automation Options: Auto-pause or cancel add-ons if SaaS is canceled Create a “Keep Add-ons Only” downgrade plan Add a “Maintenance Mode” plan that suspends features but keeps the account archived Allow agencies to bulk manage add-ons or schedule them to expire ✅ Add Notifications: Alert agency when a subaccount: Cancels SaaS but keeps add-ons Removes payment method Has active services with no valid billing method ✅ Legal and Access Considerations: What happens to domains purchased inside a subaccount if the client cancels? If they lose access, how can they manage DNS, hosting, or SEO assets tied to GHL? This must be made transparent and legally clear for both client and agency 📣 Why This Matters One client slipping through the cracks can cost a few dollars — but at scale, this becomes thousands in monthly loss, plus client trust and brand damage. This isn’t just a bug; it’s a scalability risk. 🤝 Questions for the Community How are you handling offboarding today? Are you using automation to cancel add-ons? Do you inform clients about what they’ll lose? Would you use a “Maintenance Mode” plan for clients who cancel?
