A free site builder vs a free site that builds itself.
Google Sites is a free drag-and-drop builder you design yourself. favURL builds a complete landing page from your Google Reviews automatically — no design, no copywriting.

Google Sites is a genuinely free website builder, and for simple internal pages or a basic informational site it does the job. You drag in sections, type your own text, add your own images, and publish. If you have the time and you enjoy building, it works.
But a local business does not want a blank canvas. A restaurant or a barber does not have an afternoon to lay out sections and write convincing copy — and the most persuasive thing they could put on a page, the words of happy customers, Google Sites has no idea exists.
favURL starts from your Google Reviews instead. It reads them, finds the themes that matter, and assembles a page — headline, real quotes, photos, hours, and a call to action — in about a minute. You tweak and share; you never design or write.
There is also an SEO gap. Google Sites pages are thin on structured data and rich metadata. Every favURL page ships with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, a dynamic OG image, and a canonical URL, so it can rank for your business name and local queries.
Why businesses choose favURL over Google Sites
Written from your reviews
favURL generates your copy from real Google Reviews. Google Sites gives you an empty page to fill in yourself.
Live in about a minute
Search your business and the page is built. Google Sites is a build-it-yourself project.
Built to be found
Structured data, OG image, and a canonical URL on every favURL page — Google Sites pages are thin on all three.

Frequently asked questions
Is Google Sites really free?
Yes, Google Sites is free. So is favURL — but favURL also writes and assembles the page for you from your reviews instead of handing you a blank canvas.
Can Google Sites use my Google Reviews?
No. Despite both being Google products, Google Sites has no built-in way to pull your Google Reviews into a page. favURL does it automatically.
