The FMA publishes the roster as a CSV and offers a partner endpoint to member sites. Connect either as a SleekRank data source, map shopId to slug, capabilities and certifications to multi-value fields, employees to a band. SleekRank renders one page per shop at /metal-fab-shop-directory/{slug}/.

On the next sync, SleekRank reads the updated certification list, renders the new badge on the shop page and re-indexes the certification facet pages. Schema.org hasCredential entries update so search engines see the new status.

Yes. Map maxSheetIn as a categorical field with bands like 96x48, 120x60 and 144x72. SleekRank renders the band on each shop page and builds /metal-fab-shop-directory/capacity/120x60/ style facet pages for buyers filtering by part envelope.

Yes. Map capabilities as a multi-value column with laser, brake, weld, machine, finish and assembly. SleekRank renders each capability as a chip on the shop page and builds capability facet pages so buyers find shops that own the full process chain.

ITAR registration shows up as a badge on the shop page and as a flag in the schema. SleekRank builds /metal-fab-shop-directory/cert/itar/ as a facet page so defense buyers find registered shops in one click without an RFQ phone call.

Yes. Map employees to a numeric column with bands like under 10, 10 to 50, 50 to 250 and 250 plus. SleekRank renders the band on each shop page and builds size facet pages so buyers filter by company size for sourcing decisions.

Each page carries unique data: capability list, capacity band, certifications, employee count, city and schema. SleekRank requires real values before publishing, so the directory avoids the thin-content pattern and behaves like a verified business listing.

Yes. SleekRank supports multiple data sources. Pair the FMA feed with your own JSON of photos, recent jobs and verified reviews. Both feeds merge into one shop page on each sync, with the FMA roster as the source of truth for core fields.
