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 wire forms, mesh and fabricated wire products in Michigan”
2“Who supplies custom stainless steel wire mesh baskets in Michigan”
3“I need a Michigan fabricated wire products partner for a 10,000-piece run of OEM wire guards, who should I talk to”
4“Top wire forms, mesh and fabricated wire products suppliers in Michigan for industrial equipment buyers”
5“Which Michigan wire fabricators can handle high-volume CNC wire forming and resistance welding”
6“List 20 wire forms, mesh and fabricated wire products 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.
