Improve Blog Customization [MUST READ]

Hey HighLevel Team,
First off, I’ve got to say that I love how powerful the platform has become overall. But I’m honestly surprised that the blogging experience still feels extremely limited, especially compared to the rest of the system.
Right now, the blog pages don’t allow any customization for headers, footers, side columns, or global sections, which makes the blog feel disconnected from the rest of the website. For a platform as advanced as HighLevel, this limitation makes the blog experience feel outdated, even less flexible than Blogger.com back in 2004.
The current setup forces every blog post to look isolated, breaking brand consistency and user experience. For businesses trying to use their blog to build authority, this is a major drawback.
Here’s what would make a huge difference:
Allow the use of global header and footer sections within blog posts and blog lists.
Allow the use of custom fields and Custom Values inside blog posts for dynamic, personalized content.
Provide layout options or blog templates that match the site theme (so design stays consistent).
Enable custom sections (hero, author box, related posts, etc.) so blogs feel part of the brand.
Optional: Add SEO and Open Graph customization fields directly inside the blog editor.
Adding even some of these features would make the blog experience 10x better and truly aligned with the professional standard of the rest of HighLevel.
Thanks for taking this into consideration. It’s a small (big :) ) improvement that would make a huge difference for agencies building branded, content-driven websites on HighLevel.
Best,
Daniel Vargas

It would be fantastic to have a basic Wordpress style blog editor. Most everyone doing website design has had some experience using Wordpress.
Please combine the blog settings as a sidebar like the SEO settings on the funnel builder. We need full SEO metadata including schema markup for each blog post. To help with AI SEO, we need a table of contents element and an FAQ element. This helps the LLMs process the semantic relevance of the post.
We also need more blog navigation widgets. The UX for reading blog posts is bad because there are very few navigation options. Please add widgets for recent posts, featured posts, next post, previous post, recommended posts. And please, make it easy to have a 2-column post page.
If we could get the blogging experience up to 2015 Wordpress standards, that would be a big improvement.
I love high level and my websites and funnels look great, but the blogs look amateurish. While I appreciate the ability to do Wordpress hosting, it's a pain to have to use two different platforms.
Please put some resources and emphasis in getting the blogging experience up to current day standards!

I agree!
I hope the blog builder will be like the funnel/website builder so we can create our own complex layouts, drag elements, etc. (for example adding an FAQ element to an article)
Also agree that we should be able to create a separate meta title from the blog article title, and would also like to see the SEO controls added to the blog editor, like the funnel builders and be able to add article specific <head> or <body> scripts (schema markup et)

I need to make my links and images dynamic in the blog posts. It's a shock that custom values cannot be used in the blog feature. It is a must have!

Add Custom SEO Meta Title Option for Individual Blog Posts

Currently, GHL’s blog system automatically uses the blog post title as the SEO meta title. This limits SEO flexibility, as blog titles are often written for readers while meta titles need to be optimized for search engines.
Propose adding a feature that allows users to set a custom SEO meta title for each individual blog post, separate from the visible blog title. This would enable better SEO optimization and more control over how blog posts appear in search engine results without changing the on-page title.

This is why I don’t whole heartedly embraced GHL. If the most basic part of a website (blogs) is so terrible, how can I trust the rest of the product?

Yes 100% agree.
Also, I would like to add that making the simple adjustment to keep the site header / menu and Footer on the blog articles would make a huge difference in making the blog feel part of the websites.
