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 welding service companies in Michigan”
- 2“Who supplies structural steel welding services in Michigan”
- 3“I need a Michigan welding services partner for a short-run custom machinery frame build, who should I talk to”
- 4“Top welding services suppliers in Michigan for industrial maintenance buyers”
- 5“Which Michigan welding service providers can handle certified AWS D1.1 structural welds”
- 6“List 20 welding services 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.
