Is an iframe redirect on the same Domain bad for SEO

[jdenbo_edf]

Good morning.

We have a vendor that has created a landing page with content  that we want to use.  Because of the way we built the site, the only way to use the content is to create an i-frame.  The i-frame is re-directingon the same Domain.  Would we benefit from the SEO Content?

Hi there,

Please could you be a bit more specific with regards to the redirect?

Are you saying that you're using an iframe to show content form one page of your site to another, or that the URL within the iframe redirects?

Whilst iframes are a bit of an old school SEO boogeyman from the days when Googlebot couldn't crawl them properly, they generally have a time and a place. e.g Google Maps and YouTube embeds.

These could add valuable context to the page despite being hosted off-site, so it's not quite as simple as saying all iframes=bad for SEO.

The same could be true of your content depending on the situation!

Hope this kind of helps for now!
