What makes for a good company? High profits and sales revenue, a favorable brand image and happy employees typically are good indicators that a company holds a positive relationship with its consumers. After all, people aren’t likely to do business with a business they don’t respect.
GOBankingRates reviewed the latest Fortune 500 list to find the top three companies in every state in terms of revenue. Companies with high revenue figures were chosen for analysis to reflect that companies loved by consumers are presumably met with demand in the marketplace and sell well. The assumption is that companies met with high demand in the marketplace and viewed positively by the locals working for them are generally well-liked by consumers as well.

More From GOBankingRates
Jami Farkas and Chris Jennings contributed to the reporting for this article.
Methodology: To determine the most-loved company in every state, GOBankingRates reviewed the 2023 Fortune 500 list to find the top three companies in every state in terms of revenue. Companies with high revenue figures were chosen for analysis to reflect that companies loved by consumers are presumably met with demand in the marketplace and sell well. GOBankingRates then scored each company against the others in its state on [1] estimated revenue from Fortune and [2] average employee review score out of five from Glassdoor. Factor [2] was intended to reflect that well-loved companies would not be negatively viewed by the locals who work for them. The most-loved company in each state was determined to be the company with the best score after taking into account both factors. For the states that did not have 3 companies on the Fortune 500 list for 2023, older Fortune 500 lists were sourced from 2022. For each company the number of employees as well as the headquarters location was included as supplemental data, sourced from the Fortune 500 list. All data was collected on and is up-to-date as-of June 29th, 2023.
