Question
What does it mean when a panel 'inflates its numbers'?
Answer
It means the claims are bigger than the reality — promising more engagement, higher quality, or better retention than it actually delivers. Inflated marketing is not a small stretch; when a service sells a result it cannot produce, that is misleading.
The same habit shows up in fake five-star reviews that make a thin service look trusted. The honest response is to ignore the claim and check the evidence: track record, uptime, and reviews that read as genuine.
That is what we track for every listing in our directory.
