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 stainless steel fabrication companies in New York”
2“Who supplies custom stainless steel process tanks with welded fittings in New York”
3“I need a New York stainless steel fabrication partner for a short-run sanitary equipment build, who should I talk to”
4“Top stainless steel fabrication suppliers in New York for food and beverage plant engineering buyers”
5“Which New York stainless steel fabricators can handle TIG welding of thin-gauge stainless assemblies”
6“List 20 stainless steel fabrication companies in New York 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.
