Also named, based in another state

AI assistants named these companies too, but MacRAE'S lists them in a different state, not North Carolina. They belong to that state's ranking, not this one.

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 industrial boilers in North Carolina”
2“Who supplies high-pressure packaged fire-tube industrial boilers in North Carolina”
3“I need a North Carolina industrial boiler partner for a new food processing plant installation, who should I talk to”
4“Top industrial boiler suppliers in North Carolina for facilities and maintenance buyers”
5“Which North Carolina industrial boiler companies can handle turnkey installation and commissioning of 100,000 lb per hour steam systems”
6“List 20 industrial boiler companies in North Carolina 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.
