Style Guide Differences
Different style guides have slightly different rules:
- AP Style: Capitalize words of 4+ letters. "With" is capitalized, "for" is not.
- Chicago Manual of Style: Similar to AP but with more specific preposition rules.
- APA Style: Capitalize words of 4+ letters in titles, 3+ letters in headings.
FlipMyCase uses a widely accepted standard that works across most contexts.
Title Case for SEO
Search engines do not give ranking preference to title case vs sentence case. However, title case tends to look more authoritative in search results, which can improve click-through rates. Most top-ranking pages use title case for their page titles and H1 tags.
