The Bottom Line: Aurora is for the Proposal. GoHighLevel is for the Pipeline. You use GHL to get the appointment, and Aurora to design the system that closes it.
The "Sit Rate" Problem
Solar companies die because they book appointments that don't show up. GoHighLevel fixes sit rates. It sends automated "I'm on my way" texts and "How solar saves you money" videos before the appointment to warm up the homeowner. Aurora creates the beautiful PDF, but GHL ensures the homeowner is actually home to see it.
