“Who should I hire to build a home addition in Minneapolis, Minnesota?”

Which questions produced the Minneapolis rankings?

Real homeowner phrasings, asked verbatim — one example: "I want to remodel my kitchen in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Which contractor should I hire?". Each answer's named companies were tallied, and that tally is the ranking.

Do companies pay you to be ranked here?

No — and that's the point. Rankings are measured, never sold; no payment, sponsorship, or relationship puts a company here. Money cannot buy a place on this list.

Why isn't my company on the Minneapolis list?

Only that it wasn't named when we asked. 57 Minneapolis-area companies are in the same position — AI visibility is still rare, and the next quarterly run re-measures everyone from scratch.
