Api vs widget vs iframe

[dannyx]

Hello, i wanna start livescore website, and I have questions. Whats is better for seo? Api (json, XML), widget or iframe?

a word of caution:

don't do it IMO - it doesn't convert well enough to be worthwhile (believe me, I worked with clients with huge livescores sites + MILLIONS of pageviews/month.. their revenues were miniscule). (Not to put you off, but to give you a reality check based on data I have seen)

to answer your Q:
- you want the content in the page content before it loads ideally, you can then populate a widget of course, and get JS to then update it as appropriate.
- Don't load the data into the widget after page load if you can help it.
- avoid iFrames like the coronavirus

good luck.

Can you reveal a bit more. What can you tell as conversion rate (reg to ftd) is it like tipsters traffic?

For SEO reasons pick the API opton as iframe won't even be considered by Google, for the widget if that's just some loaded js I would avoid as well.
