Not sure how long this has been a feature....but it's a feature I've been wanting since the new Google Sites were released! Merry Christmas to me I guess.
A couple Google articles explaining how to do this:
Here is the abbreviated run thru on how I was able to accomplish this. Please note, my domains are run thru "Google Domains" so perhaps that's why this was for the most part pretty painless.
1. Share the site you want to have a custom url to the Google account that manages your domains (if they aren't the same already).
2. Log into the account that manages your domain, click the configure DNS button for appropriate domain.
3. Scroll down to the Custom resource records, name = www, dropdown change to CNAME, keep the default 1H, and type ghs.googlehosted.com
4. Go back to you site, click the 3 vertical dots, choose custom url, and type on your domain. For all but two, it worked just fine and that's all I had to do.
5. For one, I had to add a txt verification following the onscreen prompts. This is added in the same location as the CNAME, just leave the @ sign for name, choose txt under dropdown, and paste the txt provided in the data section.
6. One domain is particularily difficult in verification (it is also the one I did experimenting on...so I just need to figure out what I screwed up).
