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 suppliers of conveyors and material handling equipment in Virginia”
2“Who supplies custom stainless steel sanitary conveyor systems in Virginia”
3“I need a Virginia conveyor and material handling partner for a new automated packaging line, who should I talk to”
4“Top conveyors and material handling equipment suppliers in Virginia for food and beverage plant buyers”
5“Which Virginia conveyor and material handling integrators can design turnkey systems with robotics and PLC controls”
6“List 20 conveyors and material handling equipment companies in Virginia 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.
