Quick one for any business owner with a review widget on your website:
Those slick testimonial sliders look great, but Google and AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) often can't read them. Iframes route the SEO credit to the widget's parent company. JavaScript widgets need an extra rendering pass that AI search engines skip entirely.

The 10-minute fix: keep the widget for the visual side, but also paste your best reviews on the page as plain text. Best of both worlds.
