Google Forms is a fast, free way to collect info from your audience, clients, or leads — and you don’t need to be “techy” to use it

Step 1: Open Google Forms

• Go to forms.google.com in your browser.
• Sign in with your Google account so your form can be saved automatically.

Step 2: Start a New Form

• Click the plus (+) Blank option to create a new form from scratch.
• A new untitled form will open in a clean layout, ready for your questions.

Step 3: Name Your Form and Add a Short Intro

• At the top, click on “Untitled form” and type a clear name, like “Pro104 Website Feedback” or “Project Intake Form.”
• Add a one-line description that tells people what the form is for and how long it will take to complete.

Step 4: Add Your First Question

• Click in the first question field where it says “Untitled Question.”
• Type your question, then use the dropdown on the right to pick the answer type (Short answer, Multiple choice, Checkboxes, etc.).

Pro104 tip: For contact or lead forms, use “Short answer” for name, email, and company so responses stay clean and easy to scan.​

Step 5: Add More Questions

• Click the plus (+) button on the right side to add additional questions.
• Mark important questions as “Required” so you always get the key info you need.

Step 6: Adjust Basic Settings

• Click the gear icon (Settings) at the top.
• Turn on “Collect email addresses” if you want reply details, and decide whether people can submit more than once.

Step 7: Preview and Test Your Form

• Click the eye icon to see your form the way visitors will see it.
• Submit a quick test response to check that questions, required fields, and the confirmation message all behave as expected.

Step 8: Share or Embed on Your Blog

• Click Send in the top-right corner.
• Copy the link to share directly, or click the “<>” icon to grab the embed code and paste it into your blog or website so the form appears right on the page.

And that’s it — your Google Form is live! You can view responses anytime in Google Forms or export them to Google Sheets for easy tracking.
