HighLevel Hits No. 516 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 — and We’re Not Surprised

August 13, 20253 min read

At MarketerM8, we woke up to some fantastic news this week — HighLevel has ranked No. 516 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. Even better, this is their third year running on the list, and they’ve clocked up an incredible 781% growth over the past three years.

Are we shocked? Not in the slightest. We see every day how HighLevel transforms the way agencies and small businesses work. This recognition is just more proof that the platform we build on is leading the way in CRM, automation, and AI innovation.


Why This News Matters to Us (and You)

When the software at the core of your business is winning awards and outpacing the market, you know you’re onto a winner. HighLevel’s growth confirms what we tell our clients all the time:

  • The platform delivers results – not just features, but real revenue-driving outcomes.

  • It’s future-ready – with AI tools that are already changing the way businesses handle marketing, sales, and service.

  • It builds trust – recognition like this reassures clients and prospects that you’re using a platform with serious momentum.

And here’s something that makes the win even sweeter: none of HighLevel’s key competitors—like ActiveCampaign, Birdeye, Vendasta, Ontraport, or Keap—appear on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list. In a crowded CRM and automation market, HighLevel’s recognition stands out as a growth milestone other agency-focused platforms didn’t achieve this year.


The AI Engine Driving This Growth

One of the reasons HighLevel’s success doesn’t surprise us is because we’ve seen the AI-powered features in action:

  • AI Employee: Following up, qualifying leads, and booking appointments automatically.

  • Conversation AI: Brand-voiced, natural replies across email, SMS, chat, and DMs.

  • Voice AI: Answering calls, scheduling, and even handling FAQs in multiple languages.

  • AI Campaign & Funnel Builder: Entire multi-step campaigns and landing pages created in minutes.

  • AI Analytics: Predictive insights and data-driven recommendations that help you make better decisions.

These aren’t just nice-to-have extras — they’re the kind of tools that help agencies scale without adding more staff, and help small businesses punch above their weight.


What This Means for MarketerM8 Clients

For our clients, this news is more than just a headline — it’s reassurance that you’re building on a platform with staying power. It means:

  • You’re using tools proven to deliver measurable ROI.

  • You’ll keep getting cutting-edge features before your competitors.

  • You can confidently tell your clients you’re powered by one of the fastest-growing companies in America.


Our Take

We’ve always believed in keeping our clients ahead of the curve. HighLevel’s recognition on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list is a big, shiny reminder that we’ve partnered with the right platform.

So yes — we’re celebrating. But we’re also doubling down on helping you get the most out of HighLevel’s capabilities, whether that’s building you an AI-powered funnel, setting up a retargeting campaign, or automating the parts of your business that slow you down.
