Quick summary
When the Jetpack Search block is added to the footer widget area, the filter headings are generated as H4 without a preceding H3, which can negatively impact SEO due to improper heading hierarchy.
Issue reported by a user here: 8599734-zd-a8c
Steps to reproduce
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
The filter headings should follow a sequential heading order, ideally starting with H3, or there should be an option to customize the heading level.
What actually happened
The filter headings are automatically generated as H4, despite no H3 heading preceding them, which may cause SEO issues.

Available workarounds?
No but the platform is still usable
If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.
No direct workarounds within the block settings. A custom CSS workaround can be implemented, but it requires manual intervention and it doesn't solve the issue, as it can only eventually style the H4 to look like H3, but it's not what user really needs.
