    Hi, when I add the sitemap in search console I get an error: The sitemap can be read, but contains errors

    File format not supported.

    Your sitemap does not appear to be in a supported file format. Please make sure your sitemap meets our sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

    I added this in GSC:
    domeain.nl/llms.txt

    Can this be fixed?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @rijsz88 !

    Thanks for your message

    The error you’re seeing is expected — llms.txt is not a sitemap and is not intended to be submitted to Google Search Console.

    This file is designed specifically for AI crawlers (LLMs) such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Perplexity, and not for search engines like Google. That’s why Search Console shows:

    ❌ File format not supported

    At this time, Google Search Console does not support llms.txt, but support from major search engines or AI platforms may be introduced in the future as the ecosystem evolves.

    The plugin adds your LLMs.txt file to your Yoast or Rank Math sitemap which helps AI crawlers (LLMs) such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Perplexity, etc find it. We recommend submitting your main sitemap URL (such as /sitemap_index.xml) to GSC.
