Ninja Forms + Google Maps Add-on
Steps (example with WPForms):
-

-
Create a new form or edit an existing contact form.
-
Use the “HTML block” or Map widget inside the form.

2. Embed Google Maps Manually in Contact Form Page
If your contact form plugin doesn’t support maps directly, you can:
-
Go to Google Maps.
-
Search for your business location.
-
Click Share → Embed a map → Copy HTML iframe code.
-
Edit your Contact page in WordPress.
-
Paste the iframe code above or below your contact form shortcode.
Example:
<div style="width:100%;height:300px;"> <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18..." width="100%" height="300" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> </div> [contact-form-7 id="123" title="Contact form 1"]
3. Use Page Builders (Elementor / Divi / Nexter)
If you are using Elementor, Divi, or Nexter Builder:
-
Simply drag the Google Maps widget
-
Place it beside or above the form section
-
Style it for responsiveness
Best Practices
-
Keep the map responsive (100% width, fixed height).
-
Show a landmark or pin of your exact location.
-
Don’t overload the page with too many maps.
-
Test on mobile devices.
