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 pumps in Illinois”
2“Who supplies chemical-resistant centrifugal process pumps in Illinois”
3“I need a Illinois pump supplier for a continuous-duty wastewater treatment line, who should I talk to”
4“Top industrial pumps suppliers in Illinois for plant maintenance and reliability buyers”
5“Which Illinois industrial pump suppliers can handle high-viscosity fluids at high temperature”
6“List 20 industrial pumps companies in Illinois 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.
