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 hose and fittings in Michigan”
2“Who supplies high-pressure hydraulic hose assemblies with fittings in Michigan”
3“I need a Michigan industrial hose and fittings partner for a bulk chemical transfer line upgrade, who should I talk to”
4“Top industrial hose and fittings suppliers in Michigan for maintenance and reliability buyers”
5“Which Michigan industrial hose and fittings specialists can handle custom assemblies for corrosive chemical service”
6“List 20 industrial hose and fittings companies in Michigan 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.
