Canadian giant [Shopify’s](https://trends.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f7cb66d0ac9656fb4719d6a6&id=a5f050ef70&e=96f477b3f0) stock has grown tenfold [in the last 3 years](https://trends.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f7cb66d0ac9656fb4719d6a6&id=e2c4ddf3c0&e=96f477b3f0). The platform powers millions of merchants worldwide, enabling them to sell online with ease.

And then there are companies that turn a billion dollars you probably haven’t heard of, like Australia’s [JB Hi-Fi](https://trends.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f7cb66d0ac9656fb4719d6a6&id=551ab7bfd5&e=96f477b3f0).

We pulled the [**best 1k Shopify stores into a database**](https://trends.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f7cb66d0ac9656fb4719d6a6&id=0afdfd925f&e=96f477b3f0), analyzing them by industry, tools they use, and SEO stats (referring domains, backlinks, and domain authority).
