Density vs the US
US: ~1.8 Shopify stores per 1,000 people if you use 340M. NL: ~1.4 per 1,000 on 18M — same order of magnitude, 24× fewer shops. A Dutch list of 200 rows is a real slice. A US list of 200 is a rounding error. Size your outreach to the country, not to a global default of 20.
Apparel and electronics are tied on count, not on attention
391 apparel vs 387 electronics. Apparel does 7.1M total visits in this cut; electronics does 3.0M. Specialty foods (156 shops) averages 14.0k visits.

Dutch search prefers the tactic word
Ahrefs NL: “dropshipping nederland” is 450/mo (KD 6). “shopify nederland” is 250/mo (KD 1, $2.50 CPC — expensive clicks on a small query). “webshop nederland” is 50/mo and KD 83 — that SERP is local directories, not a hole we pretend to fill. Volume is tiny next to the 25k-store catalog. The page exists because the density is real.
| Query | Vol / mo | KD | CPC |
|---|---|---|---|
| dropshipping nederland | 450 | 6 | $1.00 |
| shopify nederland | 250 | 1 | $2.50 |
| webshop nederland | 50 | 83 | $0.70 |

How the numbers were calculated
- Country totals: Neonjelly
get_countries/GET /v1/analytics/countries. Dropship % =round(1000 × dropshippers / stores) / 10. - Vertical bars:
GET /v1/stores?countryCode=NL&groupBy=vertical&minVisits=500. Floor drops parked shops.(unclassified)omitted from charts.storeCountis shops that clear the floor, not the unfiltered country total. - Mean vs median modeled revenue: catalog fields on the unfiltered country row. A fat head (US $15.6k mean / $8 median) is why we print both when the gap is the story.
- Keyword tables: Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, country-local Google volume (12-month average), KD 0–100, CPC in USD (API returns cents; we divide by 100). Pulled 2026-09-04. We do not invent volumes.
