How to embed Google Forms in your WordPress blog

Google Forms Introduction

If you are looking forward to learning how to embed Google Forms in WordPress, you have come to the right place. Google forms are nothing but one of the many services offered by the search giant, Google. It allows us to create free and responsive forms which can be used for collecting data users in the form of surveys, contact forms, quizzes,  event registration, event invitations, etc. All the information filled through these Google forms are safely stored in your Google Drive and the information can later be viewed using Google Sheets (Google’s own version of spreadsheets).

Google forms are also easy to create and share with others, thanks to their template collection and unique URL for every form created. Moreover, you can add collaborators to build and manage the forms along with you.

How to Create a Google Form

Now that you know what is all about, let us move forward with creating your first form.

Step 1 – Fire up the Google Forms webpage in a new tab if you haven’t yet already.

Step 2 – Select a new template to get started with your new form.

Step 3 – Once you have chosen the desired template, you can start filling in the required information such as the form title and description, questions, answer choices, multimedia (images & videos), sections, etc.

Google Forms makes your job even easier by automatically suggesting the type of response to be used for the question you have just typed. You can also edit the form fields manually if you do not find the suggestions accurate or useful. Once you have added all the necessary information, you can move on to the next section.
