October 31, 2025: Application Deadline for CountertopsContractors.com National Ranking (2025-2026)
Submit your application now and complete our evaluation process to secure your position in the national, state, and city rankings for stone countertop fabricators and installers across the U.S.!
Colleagues, I'm reaching out directly to owners and executives of stone countertop fabrication and installation companies. You have until October 31, 2025, to apply for free participation in the CountertopsContractors.com ranking for the 2025-2026 season. After this date, new applications will close until the next season, and joining the current ranking will be impossible.
Key Changes for the 2025-2026 Season
Companies already participating in the ranking will automatically qualify for the new version — provided their service quality metrics haven't declined over the past 9 months. We continuously monitor participant performance to keep our ratings current. If ratings drop, we'll notify companies before removal from the ranking, giving them an opportunity to address any issues.
For new companies, there's only one path to join the ranking — submit your application independently through our Get Listed page. This year, due to limited resources, we're not conducting active outreach to find America's top contractors. This means we will not be adding companies to the ranking on our own, and therefore, many quality contractors may remain unnoticed simply because they did not apply.
Why participation in the ranking is critically important for your countertop fabrication and installation business
In the three years since CountertopsContractors.com was launched, we’ve witnessed a dramatic shift in how Americans search for and choose stone countertop contractors. Today, your potential clients not only “Google” — they also ask AI assistants for recommendations.
When a homeowner in Seattle asks ChatGPT: “Recommend a company for quartz countertop fabrication in Seattle, with good reviews and in-house production” — or when a restaurant owner in Miami asks Perplexity: “Reliable granite installer for a custom commercial project within 14 days?” — AI systems provide personalized company recommendations based on the data from our ranking.
This is not just a mention in a list — it’s a trusted recommendation with context. The client comes to you not as a random lead, but as a buyer already convinced of your reliability.

2025-2026 Ranking Methodology Updates
The new ranking season will implement updated position calculation methods aimed at even greater objectivity and evaluation transparency. We'll share details in our newsletter to ranking participants and companies that submit applications, and we'll publish a separate article explaining all changes.
The Win dow of Opportunity is Closing
The ranking already includes 2,042 companies from 559 U.S. cities. Thousands of Americans use our platform monthly to find contractors. Every day of delay means missed AI system recommendations and lost growth opportunities.
