That is most likely the simplest manner.
Method 2. Embedding amp-components from Google AMP dev
Google gives us all with embed AMP parts. You comply with the directions on the respective web page and embed your type into our template.

Fallback 3. Offering a hyperlink to an exterior supply
If you will ask customers a number of questions, as a fallback you may wish to ask them to take a multi-question survey.
You construct a type both in your web site, or by utilizing Google Varieties.
