Companies Using Google Forms

This page used to say Google Forms ran on 11,498 domains. Our October 2026 crawl, cleaned, says 1,487, and I think the smaller number is the more useful one, once you know what it counts. A domain is counted when a page on it carries an HTML form whose action points at docs.google.com/forms/: the site has written its own form and sends the answers to a Google Form. A form shared as a link or dropped in with Google's iframe doesn't count, and those are the two routes Google's product page describes. So this is a floor on Google Forms on the web, never its user count. Rules like this one read the page as a browser renders it, which is one of the detection methods we use. We matched 776 of the domains to a company.

What the count measures

I opened every domain in our records on 20 October 2026, first with a plain fetch and then in a headless browser for pages that build their forms with JavaScript. 1,376 showed the form. Another 90 hostnames redirect straight to a Google Form, like a school's pre-registration address. Of the 1,201 forms readable in page source, 1,137 post to the form's formResponse address and 707 send the answers into a hidden frame, so the visitor stays on the site. The forms are their owners' own: those 1,201 pages carry 1,172 distinct form IDs, and the largest one shared by unrelated sites is 13 Haravan stores, probably a theme default. The census also found 151 domains that no longer belonged: 102 that were dead, parked or spam and 49 that loaded without the form or pointed at a closed one. We took them out, which is how 1,640 live domains became 1,487.

Sales signal: a domain on this list has a developer, in-house or hired, who chose to hand-code a form rather than install a form tool. That person is your buyer. The 151 dead or changed sites are already gone from this list, but sites keep dying after any census, so open the page before you send anything.

A chart with one point

The usage chart shows only October 2026, 1,487 domains, because the cleaning was done on the domains live that month. Don't read later months against it as adoption. The set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites leaving and newly found ones arriving, and our detection widens as it goes; 377 of the 1,487 were first seen in August or later. The exits are easier to read. 246 domains dropped Google Forms since we began tracking it in March 2026, and 6 of them still run it on another hostname in this count, so 240 left it completely.

"The real Google Forms footprint is in links and iframes we can't see. What we can see is the developer who wired a hand-built form into a free Google Form, and for a seller that is the sharper signal." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: treat this as a pool of 1,487 domains, 1,466 of which we saw working on 20 October (1,376 with the form, 90 redirecting to one). Nothing here supports a story of Google Forms spreading or shrinking on the web.

Who builds these forms

62.57% of the 740 companies we could size have 1 to 10 employees, and only five have more than 1,000 staff. The base is young too: 350 of the 454 companies with a known founding year (77.09%) date from 2010 or later and 33.48% from the 2020s, against 16.93% on our Jotform profile and 15.79% on Contact Form 7's. Larger names come in through one office's page. Zalora takes advertiser inquiries on ads.zalora.com, Appfire asks readers to rate its help content on support.appfire.com, and Delhi Technological University's career office runs its contact box through one. 18 of the 50 companies in our list use it on a subdomain like these.

Sales signal: at a university or a mid-sized software company, reach whoever owns that microsite: admissions, careers or support in the rows above. The main website team may not know the form exists.

India, Vietnam and Haravan

The United States leads the matched companies with 164, with India five behind at 159, then Vietnam (44), Brazil (37), the United Kingdom (24) and Japan (23). On our Jotform and Contact Form 7 profiles the United States leads by a wide margin. Part of Vietnam's place we could see on the pages: 42 domains in the count are stores on Haravan, a Vietnamese store builder, and 13 of them post to one shared Google Form; on one store we read, it collects a phone number with the product's name and link. Industries lean technical. IT Services and IT Consulting is 8.64% and Software Development 7.93%, and four tech rows together make 22.38% of matched companies with a known industry. After them every row is under 3%.

Sales signal: on an Indian or Vietnamese small-business list, a Google Forms row marks a company that already captures leads online and pays nothing for it. Sell on what the free route loses: a confirmed submission and leads routed to a CRM.

No switching to report

We publish no migration table for Google Forms, because no flow passed our tests. 75 domains run Google Forms and Contact Form 7 today, out of 109 that have ever shown both, and 8 run WPForms alongside it, out of 15. Most of those sites keep both, so I wouldn't call either a switch. A Google-posted newsletter box next to a plugin contact form is two tools doing two jobs.

"No rival form builder is taking these sites in our numbers, so don't pitch a switch. Pitch the developer who wired the form in the first place." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: look at the 240 domains that dropped it completely since March. Some are relaunched sites and some are dead, and opening the page tells you which.

The stack around the form

Across the same 1,487 domains, WordPress is on only 17.42%, so the WordPress plugins at the top of the Form Builders table say little about this audience. Google Analytics runs on 55.01%, jQuery on 59.52% and Cloudflare's CDN on 27.17%. Commerce is thin: Shopify 4.03%, Haravan 2.82%, WooCommerce 2.29%.

Sales signal: most of these teams don't buy plugins. Pitch something a developer can drop into hand-written HTML, such as a form endpoint or a small script.

What reviewers say

The review sites summarized on this page praise ease of use, free pricing and the Google Sheets link, and complain about limited customization and the lack of payments. Our census fits the first complaint: a site that rebuilds the form in its own HTML is working around the design limits. The workaround has its own cost. With answers sent into a hidden frame, as 707 of the 1,201 readable forms do, the page can't tell whether a submission went through. On payments, Jotform's pricing page lists payment integrations on its free Starter plan.

Sales signal: lead with reliability and design control. These teams already showed they care how the form looks; tell them where their submissions go when something fails.

Key takeaways

1. 1,487 domains is a floor. It counts hand-built forms that post to Google Forms, not links or iframes.

2. 151 dead or changed sites are already out. Of the 1,487 left, 1,376 showed the form when we opened them, 90 redirect to one and 21 blocked our check.

3. The buyer is small and technical. 62.57% have 1 to 10 staff, and tech firms are the largest industry group.

4. India runs the United States close, 159 to 164; on our Jotform, Contact Form 7, WPForms and Gravity Forms profiles the United States leads by a wide margin.

5. No rival is taking these sites. 75 domains also run Contact Form 7, and no switching flow passed our tests.

Sales applications

Outreach template: "Hi [Name], your [contact/inquiry] form on [site] sends its answers to a Google Form. That works, but the page can't confirm a submission went through. We can keep your design and route each lead to [CRM]. Worth ten minutes?"

Targeting strategy: filter on TechnologyChecker.io for Google Forms at 11 to 200 employees (231 of the 740 sized companies) in the United States, India, Vietnam or Brazil, and open each site before you write.

Competitive angle: form backends such as Web3Forms (6,611 domains), Netlify Forms (4,496) and Basin (2,226) are the direct alternative, counted mostly the same way. Hosted builders such as Jotform, Typeform and Wufoo chase the same small teams but replace the page's own form with theirs. Our data covers 776 matched companies behind the 1,487 Google Forms domains, filterable by size, country and industry.
