Avoid Custom Domain Name Rewriting URL to Google Site - google-domains

I have registered my domain name example: zoek.com in Google domains forwarding it to google sites sites.google.com/view/zoek/home.
Now, whenever users are visiting zoek.com, the URL in the browser is redirecting to sites.google.com/view/zoek/home. Instead, I want to retain on zoek.com
I added CNAME record as per instructions, still no luck
I don't have GSUITE. I want to do it without GSUITE. Is it possible?
IF I have to buy GSUITE then what's the cost of it yearly?
Thanks in Advance!

google/microsoft/etc auth from x.com domain to use in other domain (like y.x.com or even clientDomain.com)

We have an app that let our users use their own domain to access our platform.
For example, if our website domain is "abc.com", we allow our user to use their own domain (for example "external.net") by setting this domain to point to our server.
To achieve it, we need to set their domain each time in our "Google Console"(/Microsoft) so that the authentication (we do have a login of course) will work with their domain as well...
The thing is that we think maybe we could accomplish such a result by just forcing all our users to use our main domain (abc.com) and just after they log in, we will redirect them to their domain.
It will save us the time to add each time their domain to "Google Console"(/Microsoft).
The question is if it's something that we really can do, or google will disallow such auth if which user comes from A domain, and will use B domain with the token he got from A domain.
*If such a thing is not allowed, is it allowed by using my subdomains? like user1.abc.com / user2.abc.com etc... without having to fill those subdomains in the provider console (Google/Microsoft).
I hope the question is clear enough,
Thanks!
A note about verification of your applicaiton.
In order to have this application verified you are going to to Verify your site ownership for every domain listed as a redirect Uri or a JavaScript origin.
So the only way that is going to work is if you can prove you own those domains. By registering them in google search console.

How to automatically add Quickbooks redirect uri?

How can we automatically add the redirect URI in the Quickbooks auth using some API?
Edit:- In my case, my website has functionality of creating sub-domain on the basis of some random keywords. Suppose if my website is facebook.com and someone creates his own company inside it
Company name Website
1. tata tata.facebook.com
2. tesla tesla.facebook.com
So I want to add the website url name to the redirect URI as soon as company is created. I don't want to add it like manually.

You can't.

You won't be able to do this.
A better way to handle this is to have a single domain dedicated to the OAuth handshake for new connections, and always use that domain. You can use the state parameter of OAuth to track who is connecting so you know the correct subdomain to bounce them back to after OAuth redirect.
Intuit (and most other cloud providers) do not allow wildcards or dynamic domains because there are some significant security risks to doing so:

Search results showing incorrect domain name

I just recently started my shopify store, as with all shopify sites my site has a X.myshopify.com url. However, I have a domain, X.com, that points at the same ip as the myshopify.com. The problem is that in search results (Google), the myshopify.com link is showing up instead of my main domain. Is there a way to fix this?
If you cant get shopify to redirect the shopify domain to the proper domain then ensure the shopify domain has canonical tags pointing to the proper domain and the proper domain should replace indexing in time.

pointing my blogger domain to my own webhost

I just purchased a domain for my blogger blog through google(goDaddy)
Currently, it is pointed to blogger web host.
I'd like to point it to my own web host as well, so i can host files, while not losing my blog stuffs from blogger.
Is this possible? for a domain to have 2 web host?
I'm sorry, i'm really new to these domain and hosting, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You can keep your domain on your site and then setup a subdomain-- like blog.YOURDOMAIN.COM-- and point that to your blogger account.
Go to http://www.google.com/a/domainname, replacing domainname with your domain name.
Now you will need to login to your Google account utilizing a username and password you previously created specifically for Google Apps for your domain. If you do not know this information, click 'Can't access your account.'
Once logged in, click the 'Domain Settings' tab.
Click on "Advanced DNS Settings".
You will now see listed your Sign-In Name, Password, and PIN.
Click Sign-In to DNS Console and use the Sign-In Name and Password to login.
You should now be in the Domain Control Center. Click Forward, and then select Forward Subdomain.
In the Add subdomain field, enter the subdomain.
Select http:// or https:// depending on your server settings.
In Forward this subdomain to, enter the URL you want to forward the subdomain to. This will be the URL for your Blogger blog.
To view additional options, click Advanced Options, and then select one of the following:
Forward Only — Specifies the length of time for this forwarding setting. Select one of the following redirect types:
I am permanently forwarding my domain — Redirects to the site you specified in the Forward To field using a "301 Moved Permanently" HTTP response. The HTTP 301 response code tells user-agents (including search engines) the location has permanently moved.
I am only temporarily forwarding my domain — Redirects to the site you specified in the Forward To field using a "302 Found" HTTP response. The HTTP 302 response code tells user-agents (including search engines) that the location has temporarily moved.
Forward with Masking
Title — Displays at the top of the browser window and in search results.
Description — A short description of your website to display in search engine results.
Keyword — A list of comma-separated keywords that describe the content and purpose of your website.
Click OK.
The main domain you just continue to point to the IP of your web host.

how to redirect any domain name to our web application

we have a saas web app, written in zend mvc (php) where users can enter their own domain name in their settings page.
When they enter e.g. www.customdomain.com we want this domain to redirect to our web application so we can serve up their own pages from our app.
We do the same already for subdomains by having a *.ourapp.com entry in our DNS configuration.
that works great for subdomains like customdomain.ourapp.com.
This doesn't seem to work for full domain names like www.customdomain.com.
What's the easiest way to have any domain address link to our application, so we can just read out the incoming domain name and act accordingly in our app?
For letting the DNS entry point at your servers:
Domain is already registered (and owned by the customer): Make him configure the CNAME entry to your server's IP. (Even google let this do the enduser by hand - so automating this might be hard)
Domain is free: Register it, configure the CNAME yourself (you own it)
If you only want a redirect, the user can upload a html file or .htaccess file, that performs the redirect. But this has to be done by the customer, too.
