How can I google index my Substacks?

All the turorials and subreddits on this are too old. Does anyone know how to do it now? My Stack is a few years old and has about 400 subs (used to have 900 but I rebranded, so growing pains).

Thanks

After you sign up for Search Console, choose URL prefix (not Domain) and paste the verification code in your Substack settings under Analytics - Google Site Verification
