Kindly see the detailed  instructions given at : https://support.google.com/sites/answer/9068867?hl=en

Step 1: Check that you own your URL

  1. Go to google.com/webmasters/verification.

  2. Look under "Properties."
    • If you don’t see your URL, click Add a property.
    • If you see your URL, move to Step 2.
  3. Enter your URL.
  4. Click Continue.
  5. Follow the onscreen steps.
  6. Click Verify.

Note: To use custom URLs, you must be the owner of a site on Google Sites and it must be published. Learn how to publish your Google site.

Step 2: Update your URL on your host site

For your custom URL to map to your site on new Google Sites, you need to create a CNAME entry with your domain host, like Google Domains, GoDaddy, or InMotion.

Note: These steps may be different depending on your host site. For more help, go to your domain host’s help site.

  1. Go to your domain host.
  2. Create a new CNAME entry.
  3. Enter the subdomain name, for example, the "www" of www.YourURL.com.
  4. Type in the host name ghs.googlehosted.com. This will point your URL to your Google site.

Step 3: Assign your custom URL

Tip: If you don't see this option, you may be using a work or school account where an administrator has disabled access to this feature. For more information, please contact your administrator.

  1. On your computer, open a site in new Google Sites.
  2. In the top right corner, click Settings Settings.
  3. In the “Settings” window, go to Custom URLs.
  4. Enter your custom URL.
  5. Click Assign.

Note: You can add up to 5 URLs to your Google site.
