Cover image for Odoo is an open-source ERP
Odoo is an open-source ERP platform competing in one of the most crowded and expensive paid search categories. When I took ownership of the Google Search program, monthly spend was $40K and cost per lead was $120 — both signs of an account that hadn't been built for scale. I restructured the account from the ground up: segmenting campaigns by use case rather than product, building out competitor and comparison query coverage, and implementing tighter bidding logic tied to trial-to-paid conversion rates rather than raw CPL. As confidence in the data grew, I scaled spend incrementally while protecting efficiency. Over time, monthly spend reached $1.2M while CPL dropped from $120 to $40 — a 67% reduction. The program drove 30,000 leads per month at peak and accounted for approximately 60% of all free trial starts globally.
