PAX ERP - full ERP + CRM for small manufacturers (5-50 people). Accounting, inventory, manufacturing, and CRM in one system. No QuickBooks dependency, no implementation fees, 3-day go-live.
Built it originally for internal use inside a medical device shop. The people running production were the same people responsible for financial accuracy, so every transaction (receiving a PO, issuing materials, completing production) auto-generates GL entries through database triggers. No configuration step, no separate accounting department required.
Current focus: SEO and content - competitor comparison pages (vs Fishbowl, vs Odoo, etc.), compliance landing pages for FDA/ISO 13485, blog posts targeting long-tail manufacturing ERP keywords. Building from 3 backlinks to 20-30.
Competing against Fishbowl (QuickBooks add-on), Odoo (powerful but a lot to configure), and the incumbent answer of spreadsheets + QuickBooks.
The SEO + content angle for niche B2B like manufacturing ERP is underrated - long-tail keywords with clear buyer intent and almost no competition at the content level.
I'm building ad-vertly.ai (marketing autopilots for solo founders) - one thing I've noticed is that the comparison page strategy you're running (vs Fishbowl, vs Odoo) compounds well. Organic search in manufacturing tends to have searchers with high commercial intent. The challenge is keeping up the publishing velocity solo.
Curious - are you doing the content yourself or using any tooling to help? And is your primary conversion from blog → demo request, or something else?
Blogs -> trials/contact seem to be decent, depending on the post. The comparisons are new and inconclusive. LinkedIn posts are minimally tested, but some clicks have come in. Haven't tested X or Meta platforms yet.
I've handled all blog posts so far. Comparisons were passed to the team. They use various tools for research.
Identifying the long-tail keywords with clear buyer intent, and then ranking high for the query, is easier said than done. Blogs are my attempt to catch specific keywords that match what PAX offers. The results are trivial compared to ads, so maybe we still haven't realized the full potential of SEO + content angle.
Thanks! The homepage has a short dashboard + payment video and the before/after section will show two basic dashboards as well. But I agree, we could use more static screenshots, expanding the /docs page with those is on the near-term list.
