I would like to point out that in Sitecore 9, it already comes with Sitecore Forms pre-baked into it. Sitecore Forms has a much better ui and is gonna replace wffm. I suggest you look at that instead of wffm.

Now, if for some reasons you wanna still use wffm, when you install wffm package, it adds a sublayout and a rendering component in your sitecore. You can add the forms component( either sublayout or rendering depending on whether you using web forms or mvc) to your page the same way like adding a sitecore component in the presentation details.

There are more details in the sitecore docs. It is written for 8.2 but its the same steps for 9.0 setup. https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/82/web-forms-for-marketers/en/insert-a-web-form-directly-on-a-web-page.html
