How to Embed Google Form Into WordPress (Easiest Method)

Google Forms offers a wonderful way for you to connect with your customers and readers by asking for feedback and giving people a way to contact you. That’s why we want to show you how to embed Google Form into WordPress.

What do you get with Google Forms?

On the surface, Google Forms is another free tool from Google.

It allows you to make forms and collect responses from those forms.

However, there’s quite a bit more to Google Forms that can help your business online.

For instance, Google Forms helps with all of the following:

• Surveys.
• Contact forms.
• Forms for product orders.
• Email list subscription forms.
• Product questionnaires.
• User polls.
• Registration forms for events.

What’s also great news is that Google Forms works rather well with Google Drive. If you already have an account, or you’re familiar with Google Drive, all of your Google Forms are stored in Drive for later.

Here are some of the advantages of storing your forms in Google Drive:

• You never have to hit a Save button while creating a form.
• It’s easy to work in teams, since other people can see what changes other members have made.
• You get access to other collaboration tools, like comments.
• You’re given a neat storage place that you typically don’t have to pay for (unless you need more storage).
• Google Forms generates links so that you can easily share forms with others.

Design, stats, and other features

Another reason to consider Google Forms is that it offers so many pre-built templates. This not only speeds up the creation process, but there are some great settings for customizing the forms to fit your brand.

As for the branding, many companies find that the templates are enough for matching colors. All you have to do is upload your logo. Then, Google Forms automatically adjusts its colors to try and match the colors in your logo.

In addition, every form you create looks wonderful on mobile devices. The responsive nature of the forms means that you can build them on your smaller devices, and your users are able to make submissions from their phones and tablets.

Finally, Google Forms shows statistics on the backend to understand elements like the following:

• How many people respond to your form.
• Which answers users select.
• What the stats are for the entire form and the individual questions.

You can also check out some charts for more visual analysis.

• You can share all your forms via a link.
• There’s no need to add an extra plugin to your site. This is good for site speed and security.

Note: You need a Google account to use Google Forms. So, either log into your current account or create a new one.

Step 1: Make the form

To get started, click on this link to go directly to the Google Forms dashboard.

You should see a page for either starting with a blank form or choosing a template. For this tutorial, we’re going with a customer feedback template–but feel free to build your own from scratch:

Regardless of whether or not you choose a template, you’ll then be prompted to type in a title and description.

You can edit these pre-populated questions to match your brand:

The module to the right has options for:

• Adding new questions.
• Importing questions.
• Changing the title and description.
• Adding an image or video.
• Adding a section.

There’s a dropdown button for choosing different types of questions like “Dropdowns” or “Multiple Choice.”

Step 2: Generate embed code

Once you’ve configured your form, you need to generate the embed code so that you can embed Google Forms into WordPress.

To access the embed code, you can click on the Send button. If you haven’t explored the Settings area yet, you’ll also want to do that before you generate the embed code.

Once you click on the Send button, you’ll see a few different options for sharing your form. To access the embed code, click on the < > tab:

If you want to change the size of your form, you can edit the Width and Height fields as needed (you can always edit these later after you see how the form looks on your site). Then, click the Copy link to copy the Google Forms embed code.

Step 3: Add the Google Forms embed code into WordPress

To add the Google Forms code into WordPress, open the WordPress editor for the post or page where you want to include your form.

Then, add a new Custom HTML block:

Paste the Google Forms embed code into the HTML area. Then, either save or publish the page.

You should now be able to see the form. Congrats!

If you don’t like the form looks, you can always go back and change the colors and/or size. For example, looking at the screenshot above, it could be a good idea to make the form a little wider so there’s less white space.
