Google Search Trace: In-depth Analysis of Shopify Independent Store Promotion Strategies
跨境电商从业者都知道，虽然亚马逊在美国电商市场占据主导地位，但其市场份额仅为40%。剩下的市场主要由DTC（直接面向消费者）模式占据，也就是我们常说的独立站。这种模式一度占据超过50%的市场份额，近年来虽受到其他电商平台的冲击有所下滑，但仍然保持着强大的市场影响力。
Cross-border e-commerce practitioners are well aware that although Amazon dominates the US e-commerce market, its market share is only 40%. The remaining market is mainly occupied by the DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) model, commonly known as independent stores. This model once held over 50% of the market share and, despite recent declines due to competition from other e-commerce platforms, still maintains strong market influence.
独立站是指卖家自行建立的销售网站，区别于淘宝、亚马逊等电商平台。这种模式的兴起催生了一批电商服务公司，其中最大的就是来自加拿大的Shopify。
An independent store refers to a sales website established by sellers themselves, distinct from e-commerce platforms like Taobao and Amazon. The rise of this model has given birth to a number of e-commerce service companies, the largest of which is Shopify from Canada.
Shopify从最初的一个滑雪板在线销售平台，发展成为全球最大的电子商务公司之一。尽管总部设在加拿大，但其最大市场在美国，2023年美国市场贡献了公司66%的营收。
Shopify evolved from an initial online snowboard sales platform into one of the world's largest e-commerce companies. Although headquartered in Canada, its largest market is in the United States, with the US market contributing 66% of the company's revenue in 2023.

随着全球电商渗透率的提升（美国目前仅为16%，远低于中国的47%），Shopify的发展空间仍然巨大。特别是在中国电商出海浪潮中，Shopify已成为众多商家的首选合作伙伴。谷歌搜索留痕技术在这一过程中发挥着重要作用，帮助独立站提升在搜索引擎中的可见度和排名。
With the increasing global e-commerce penetration rate (currently only 16% in the US, far below China's 47%), Shopify still has enormous development space. Particularly in the wave of Chinese e-commerce going global, Shopify has become the preferred partner for many merchants. Google search trace technology plays a crucial role in this process, helping independent stores improve their visibility and ranking in search engines.
