My website (example.com) lists medicines and their coupons. The detailed drug information is hosted on a subdomain (druginfo.example.com), but on example.com it is displayed using an iframe.

I’d like to understand from an SEO perspective:
  • Will the iframe content provide ranking value to the main site (example.com), or only to the source site (druginfo.example.com)?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of this setup?
  • Would it be better to pull in the content directly (e.g., via API or server-side rendering) instead of using iframes?
 
iframes don’t really help SEO for the parent site the ranking value stays with the source domain. If you want example.com to benefit, better pull the content via API or server side so Google actually sees it as part of your site.
