The five questions we asked

Every company in this cell is measured on the same questions, written the way a buyer would type them. That is what makes the ranking a comparison rather than a collection of anecdotes.

1“Best aluminum fabrication companies in Ohio”
2“Who supplies custom fabricated aluminum frames in Ohio”
3“I need a Ohio aluminum fabrication partner for a 5,000-unit enclosure project, who should I talk to”
4“Top aluminum fabrication suppliers in Ohio for industrial equipment buyers”
5“Which Ohio aluminum fabricators can handle TIG welding and CNC machining of complex assemblies”
6“List 20 aluminum fabrication companies in Ohio with their specialties.”the roster question

Each question is asked more than once, which is why a company's score is out of 15 answers rather than out of the number of questions.
