Ever been here?

You launch a killer new landing page, add a simple form—nothing fancy. Just the usual: Name, Email, Phone Number—you know the drill.

Then, you start following up with leads, setting up SMS automations, and suddenly…

Half of your messages aren’t even getting delivered.

You check the numbers—some aren’t even real.

Fake submissions. Typos. Bad leads.

Sound familiar? Yeah, it’s frustrating. And guess what? HighLevel knows it too.

That’s why they rolled out Phone Number Verification for Forms and Surveys.

And the best part? It’s ridiculously easy to set up.

Let me show you.

Little extra! Here´s an interactive tutorial for you to follow every step of the tutorial by yourself!

What’s New?

✅ SMS Verification Button – A “Verify Phone” button now appears next to the phone number field in forms and surveys.

✅ Instant Verification Code – Users get a unique OTP (One-Time Password) via SMS, which they must enter before submitting the form.

✅ Cleaner, More Reliable Data – No more typos, fake numbers, or unreachable leads. Every phone number you collect will be legit.

✅ Super Simple User Experience – It’s intuitive. Users get guided through verification seamlessly.

✅ “Phone Verified” Field – HighLevel now marks verified numbers in submissions so you can easily filter out the junk.

🚨 Important: OTP messages are billed based on standard messaging rates. So if you’re collecting thousands of leads, keep an eye on your costs!
