By Daclaud Lee, Project Manager / SEO at Archmore Business Web
The Fortune 500 is an annual list compiled and published by Fortune magazine that ranks 500 of the largest United States corporations by total revenue for their respective fiscal years. The list includes publicly held companies, along with privately held companies for which revenues are publicly available. I picked out the ones that were from Ohio. Below is a list of many Fortune 500 companies based in Ohio.
Disclaimer: This list was generated 11/09/2021 and is subject to change. We may or may not get around to updating this blog post if there are some drastic changes in the future (like if they move their headquarters or go out business), because we are a Digital Marketing agency and NOT a news outlet.
