How to Embed a Google Form in WordPress (Easy Way)

Google Forms are easy to embed anywhere and are particularly useful when you need to share the form on multiple websites. You can get feedback from your customers or audience without having to create and share multiple versions of surveys or questionnaires.

Before using a contact form plugin, we also used lots of Google Forms to collect data and feedback from users. In our experience, embedding Google Forms required a bit of tricky coding in the past. However, now it’s very simple to add Google Forms to your site without any technical knowledge.

In this article, we will show you how to embed a Google form in WordPress.

Google Forms vs. WordPress Form Builders

Some of you may be wondering why anyone would want to use Google Forms when there are amazing form builder plugins like WPForms.

It is true that WordPress form builders are easier to use. They are integrated into your WordPress site, so you can show users a special offer, accept payments, create custom login forms, user registration forms, and more.

However, sometimes, you may need to share a form on different websites, email lists, and platforms so that all form responses are stored at the same location.

In such situations, Google Forms can be an easier option. These forms are easy to share, mobile-friendly, and get the job done. All responses are stored in your Google Drive, and you can even add collaborators to work on the form responses.

That said, let’s see how you add Google Forms to your WordPress site.

How to Embed a Google Form in WordPress

First, you need to visit the Google Forms website and click the ‘Go to Forms’ button. You will now need to create the form you want to embed.

Next, you’ll see different Google Form templates.

Go ahead and select a pre-built template, or use the blank template to create your custom form.

Creating a new form in Google Forms is quite simple. First, you need to provide a form title and description. Then, you can start adding your form fields.

Google’s AI technology automatically selects the correct form field based on the question you ask. If it picks the incorrect field type, then you can manually change it.

You can click on the ‘+’ button in the menu on the right to add a new form field. You can also add images and videos and choose from different question types.

Once you are satisfied with your form, click on the ‘Send’ button to get the embed code.

This will bring up the send form popup, where you must click the embed tab.

To embed the Google form, click on the ‘Copy’ link to copy the embed code.

After that, head over to your WordPress site’s admin area and edit the post or page where you want to display the form.

Once you are in the WordPress content editor, go ahead and add a Custom HTML block.

Next, you can simply paste the HTML code in the Custom HTML block to put the Google Form on the website.

There is also an option to preview your Google Form in the content editor. Simply click the ‘Preview’ option in the Custom HTML block.

Don’t forget to click on the ‘Publish’ button to save your changes.
