Both can put you online. The difference is what you build yourself, and what comes together.

|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Choose a template, add pages and write your content. | Upload your CV, generate a draft and review it before sharing. |

| Visitor questions | Add an external service through an embed if needed. | Built-in AI chat answers from your uploaded documents, within plan limits. |
| Enquiries | Embed Google Forms or another contact tool. | Capture contact details in the conversation; paid plans reveal contacts and score interest. |
| Your domain | Custom domains are supported; work or school accounts may need an administrator. | Custom domains are available on Solo and Pro; DNS setup is required. |
| What you pay for | Check Google’s current account and Workspace terms; domain registration is separate. | The website builder requires a paid plan. The AI chat page is free to start. |
Documentation-based comparison, not a hands-on benchmark. Google Sites can support external tools; their setup and terms are separate. No claim of Google affiliation or endorsement.
If you decide to move
No automatic Google Sites import. Keep your existing site live while you review the replacement.
Follow the CV-to-website guide ↗Use an up-to-date CV. Remove confidential client material and private details before uploading.
On a paid plan, generate your site, edit every claim and add the case studies you can substantiate. Test the chat with real questions.
Check the mobile site and enquiry flow. If moving your domain, verify ownership and update only the required DNS records, preserving email settings.
Yes, for professionals who want a personal website built from their CV, with AI chat and enquiry capture. It is a narrower choice than Google Sites: it is designed around one professional’s work, rather than general information sites, team resources or school projects.
No. Generating and editing a website requires a paid plan, such as Solo or Pro. The AI chat page is free to start, subject to plan limits. See pricing for current features and allowances.
There is no automatic Google Sites importer. Start from your CV, review the generated draft and add the case studies and supporting content you have permission to share. Keep your old site available while checking the new one.
Solo and Pro support a custom domain after ownership verification and DNS setup. Review your current DNS records and email configuration before changing the website records. Google Sites also supports custom domains; this is not an exclusive Speak2MyCV feature.
Google Sites supports Google Forms and external embeds. An AI chat would depend on the external service you choose and whether it permits embedding. Speak2MyCV includes document-grounded chat and enquiry capture in its own workflow, with plan limits and paid feature gates.
No. Enquiries and search visibility depend on your work, content and audience. Review every generated claim, check your public details and test the visitor journey before sharing. A new website alone does not create demand.
Uploaded documents are not indexed as public pages. Public page text and the details you choose to show may be indexed by default, subject to completeness and privacy checks. You can turn search indexing off in the dashboard. Review the privacy policy before uploading sensitive material.
