Create a robots txt file and XML sitemap for your website. Then create an account on Google Search Console and submit your sitemap.
You can link your Search Console account with Analytics account for more precise tracking.

To submit your website to Google, you can either add an updated sitemap to your Google account or submit an indexing request for the desired URL through Fetch as Google. Both processes require site owners to register with Google Search Console.
1. Go to Google Search Console.
Login or click ‘Start Now’, if needed.
2. Click ‘Add a property’ under the search drop-down.
You can add up to 1000 properties to your Google Search Console account.
3. Enter your website URL in the box and click ‘Continue’.
Please make sure you enter your complete URL. For example, if your site is yourdomain. com it needs to be that exact URL. Don’t forget the / at the end of the URL. If your site uses WWW or is using HTTP you need to add properties for those as well. Google provides multiple ways of getting your site verified and they even suggest adding multiple ways because of security. If you are not sure what your site has, please speak with your host provider.
4. Click the arrow next to ‘HTML tag’ to expand the option.
There are several ways to verify your site, but we’ve made it easy for you. We only need to get the authorization code so we can paste it in Yoast SEO.
5. Copy the meta tag.
Highlight the entire meta tag code. Right click on the highlighted tag and click on ‘Copy’ or use the copy shortcuts ctrl-c on Windows or cmd-c on Mac.
6. Log in to your WordPress website.
When you’re logged in, you will be in your ‘Dashboard’.
7. Click on ‘SEO’.
On the left-hand side, you will see a menu. In that menu, click on ‘SEO’.
8. Click on ‘General’.
The ‘SEO’ settings will expand providing you with additional options. Click on ‘General’.
9. Click on the ‘Webmaster Tools’ tab.
This page has all the fields to past the verification codes for the various webmaster tools.
10. Paste the code in the Google field and click “Save Changes”.
11. Go back to Google Search Console and click ‘Verify’.
Login or click ‘Start Now’, if needed.

google automatically crawls websites but if you have a site with large schema setups, then you need to register your site on search console and submit the sitemap of your site
100,000,000% agree with @Graybeard
I know this is true for a fact
how do I know?
did it last week
on 10 websites
How did I do this?
- Register domain name
- Install hosting
- Activate SSL
- Install theme
- Create some unique content
- Install Wordpress
- Install, activate and setup Google Site Kit plugin (includes Google Analytics installation)
- Check served results (site:domain.com) --> nothing
- Waited one week
- Check served results (site:domain.com) --> impressions

The algorithm is such that Google itself will find and index your site
