Case Study : GHL + Website Systems Audit

A CRM cleanup request led to findings in account access, booking and lead-source tracking.

I reviewed the GHL account and public website for a credit repair and funding consultancy. The audit covered user access, SMS registration, booking, lead handling and reporting.

30-second walkthrough of this audit

Five issues, ordered by operational risk

I recorded each finding, why it mattered and the proposed work to address it. Urgent access and booking risks came before reporting improvements.

Critical
Found

Unidentified administrator with account access

An administrator-level user appeared in the account without a documented owner. The client could not confirm who added the user or why the access was needed.

Remediation scope
Proposed work

Access audit + role re-provisioning

Review user permissions, revoke access the client cannot authorize and document the owner of each remaining account role.

High
Found

Booking widget returning a 500 error

The public booking widget returned a 500 error for some visitors, preventing them from completing a booking through the page.

Remediation scope
Proposed work

Investigate and repair the booking embed

Reproduce the error, inspect embed and calendar settings, repair the booking path and test it from the public page.

High
Found

46% of inbound calls went unanswered

Call records showed a 46% missed-call rate. I also found gaps in text-back and follow-up handling, creating a risk of lost inquiries.

Remediation scope
Proposed work

Missed-call text-back + routing rebuild

Configure missed-call text-back where consent and messaging rules allow, review call routing and test the follow-up sequence.

Medium
Found

A2P 10DLC status: Rejected

A2P 10DLC registration was rejected. I flagged the SMS-dependent workflows for review because delivery could be affected until registration was resolved.

Remediation scope
Proposed work

A2P review and fallback options

Review the rejected registration, prepare corrections for resubmission and define compliant alternatives while SMS approval is pending.

Medium
Found

Zero marketing attribution

The CRM did not consistently record lead sources, making it difficult to connect inquiries with the relevant campaign, page or referral.

Remediation scope
Proposed work

UTM + source tracking implementation

Define source fields and UTM capture rules, then test how the information reaches CRM contact and opportunity reports.

How the audit was run

01

GHL account review

Reviewed the pipelines, workflows, user access, messaging compliance and automation behavior against the client’s lead process.

02

Website audit, cross-referenced

Reviewed the website separately, then compared the booking error with the CRM lead and call records to determine its priority.

03

Severity-ranked reporting

Findings ordered by business risk, not by where they sit in the platform, so the client knows what breaks first if left alone.

An audit can help separate urgent issues from improvements that can wait. I document what is wrong before recommending a rebuild.
