Form embedding
Embedding means the form runs inside your page — visitors see it within your site and never leave. The alternative is a link that sends them to the form's own address.
The difference is mostly completion. Every jump to another domain is a moment where some people drop off — either because it breaks their context or because an unfamiliar address makes them hesitate. An embedded form removes that step.
A link makes sense when you send the form by email, share it on social media or print it as a QR code. Both are the same form and the responses land in the same table, so it is not a one-way decision.
When embedding, watch the frame height and the mobile view: the form should not have its own inner scrollbar. And if a cookie banner covers the page, make sure the form stays usable for someone who declines non-essential cookies.
FAQ
Does embedding a form affect my page's SEO?
Content inside an embedded frame does not count as your page's content, so keep your own text around the form describing what it is for.
Can I both embed and link the same form?
Yes — it is one form with two ways of sharing it.
Does an embedded form work on mobile?
Yes, the form is responsive; just watch the frame height so it does not scroll inside itself.
