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 wire and cable in Minnesota”
2“Who supplies shielded multi-conductor control cable in Minnesota”
3“I need a Minnesota industrial wire and cable partner for a new factory automation line, who should I talk to”
4“Top industrial wire and cable suppliers in Minnesota for OEM electrical engineering buyers”
5“Which Minnesota industrial wire and cable distributors can provide custom-cut lengths with same-day delivery”
6“List 20 industrial wire and cable companies in Minnesota 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.
