I'm interested as well. Been using AI to create SEO optimization within each post. It's worth a little extra effort considering all the time I put into writing the darn thing!

Yes, I have noticed a change too. When I was on WordPress, my posts always appeared on Google first page, but when I moved to Substack, they never did. Recently, my posts on Substack have unexpectedly popped up when I have Google searched related topics. I assumed it was that the crawlers were just doing their thing better on Substack, but also, for the last few months I have been SEO optimising each post when I publish. Substack makes it pretty easy to do. So maybe that's the difference? Hard to be sure, but I'm gonna keep at it. On WordPress, the majority of my views came from Google searches.

Thanks for the pointer. By the way, while doing SEO tagging, do we just tag on the broad specific niche provided by substack, for example, there is a niche category called Business, so,do you tag #business or tag #seo

Yes but would be great if the workshop could do "double duty" and give related tips on improving SEO on one's website and to relate one's website to one's Substack. Thanks! Your latest workshop is great!

I never had an idea that a substack subdomain would perform well on Google search. 

By the way, congrats.

I’d also be interested if it’s held later in the spring. Surgery recovery messes with not just physical energy but mental aerobatics. 🙈

No I haven't done an article about search console. But I have done one on Google Analytics and the process is similar. You can find that article in the playlist called Substack Features and How-tos: https://pubstacksuccess.substack.com/p/playlist-substack-features-how-tos
