: Making my domain show up instead of my sitemap.xml in Google search results If I search Google for a term or my site name, Google returns the URL sitename.com/sitemap.xml on the first or second

Posted in: #Google #Seo #Serps #XmlSitemap

If I search Google for a term or my site name, Google returns the URL sitename.com/sitemap.xml on the first or second page of the results.

I want the main site to return in the results and not the sitemap.

To remove the sitemap.xml file from your SERP, follow the steps outlined here: Google Webmaster Tools - Completely remove an entire page

To prevent this from being indexed again, add X-Robots-Tag: noindex to the header response for the URL to your sitemap.xml in your web server configuration, as indicated here.

An example for a .htaccess file for Apache would be:

<FilesMatch "sitemap.xml">
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex"
</FilesMatch>
