Visitors tap numbered circular pins on any project or product photo to open close-up photos, HTML5 video walkthroughs, spec tables, and instant quote/buy links—while every word is baked into static HTML + Schema.org JSON-LD so search engines and AI agents index every pin without clicking.
This is the actual production <iq-hotspots> Web Component running live on this page. Click pins 1–4, switch project tabs, open close-up lightboxes, stream byte-range HTML5 video, and toggle between Floating Tooltip and Side Drawer mode.
Standard website photos force prospects to guess what they're looking at—and legacy WordPress hotspot plugins hide your best proof inside bloated JavaScript blobs that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google can't read.

"We built iQ Hotspots because contractors, product builders, and service pros were losing high-margin jobs to inferior competitors with flashier websites—while WordPress hotspot plugins choked their page speed and hid their best proof from Google and ChatGPT. Put a live interactive showcase on your top page for 30 days for $1. If you're not thrilled, cancel with one click before day 30 and you won't be billed a dime."
Unlike legacy JavaScript plugins that only render text after a user clicks, iQ Hotspots outputs both semantic static HTML and a complete Schema.org JSON-LD @graph linking every ImageObject, VideoObject, and PropertyValue pin coordinate directly in the page source.
No. <iq-hotspots> is a zero-dependency native Web Component built in vanilla ES modules. There is zero jQuery, zero React runtime overhead, and all media is lazy-loaded with responsive WebP/AVIF support.
Photos taken on smartphones contain hidden EXIF metadata including the exact GPS latitude/longitude of your customer's home or facility. Our intake tool strips all EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and GPS tags automatically before generating web-ready images.
Simply add ?authoring=1 to the page URL (or use our visual builder), click anywhere on your photo to drop a numbered pin, paste your title, description, close-up photos, or video, and export ready-to-publish JSON + HTML.
Yes! Every pin supports automatic URL hash deep-linking (like #pin-2). When a customer clicks that link from an SMS or estimate email, the page scrolls to the showcase and pops open that exact pin automatically.
Never. Because iQ Hotspots uses clean static JSON, HTML, and standard image/video files, you own your assets 100% with zero hostage database lock-in.
