Listings Now Offer Half-Yearly and Annual Plans

TL;DR

HighLevel listings now support half-yearly and annual subscription plans. Agencies selling listings can configure and manage these new options. No immediate action is required unless you sell Listings and want to offer these new duration plans to clients.

Who this affects

This update affects agencies that resell HighLevel's Listings product. Agencies that do not offer Listings or do not plan to offer longer subscription terms can safely ignore this update. HighLevel has not confirmed which plan levels are affected or if there are specific sub-account setups required.

What changed

HighLevel's online listings now offer half-yearly and annual subscription duration options. Previously, only monthly plans were available. Businesses can now choose between monthly, half-yearly, and annual plans for online listings, providing more flexibility in payment terms. Agencies can select and configure these new plans directly from their reselling interface within HighLevel. The pricing breakdown for these new plans is visible to agencies. This includes the cost to HighLevel, the price to the client, and the agency's profit margin. Agencies can track which sub-accounts have subscribed to these various listings plans, allowing for better client management. Additionally, agencies can bundle listings into their existing SaaS subscriptions, potentially streamlining billing for end-users. The video source also covers how end-users can activate listings, though the specifics of the activation process are not detailed in the verified facts. HighLevel has not confirmed the rollout status of these new plans or any specific limits or plan gating associated with them.

Where to find it

HighLevel has not published the exact navigation path for these new options. Based on the description, agencies will find the configuration settings within their reselling interface. This typically means navigating to the 'Agency Settings' or 'SaaS Config' section, then looking for the 'Listings' service configuration.

How agencies will use this

Agencies can now provide more flexible payment options to their clients for listings. For example, an agency owner setting up a new client's account could navigate to their agency's SaaS Config, locate the Listings service, and add the half-yearly and annual options. When a new sub-account is created, the agency can choose to include the annual listings plan as part of a bundled SaaS offer. This allows the agency to charge a higher upfront fee, reducing monthly churn risk and administrative overhead. Alternatively, an agency could offer a discount for annual payments to encourage clients to commit to a longer term. The agency would adjust the 'Client Price' for the annual plan to reflect this discount while maintaining their desired profit margin, all within the Listings configuration in their agency settings.

Our take

This is a standard update. Offering longer payment terms for listings is a logical expansion and provides more flexibility for both agencies and their clients. It allows agencies to potentially increase upfront revenue and reduce client churn by securing longer commitments. This is not a major change that warrants immediate action for all agencies, but those actively selling Listings should review the new options and consider how to integrate them into their service offerings.
