Read the discuss below, we share some tips to fix the issue about Google Sitelinks showing in lowercase.Problem :

I'm having an issue with Google sitelinks where the page titles are showing in lowercase only.

I've tried several things to remedy this issue, the page titles and meta data for the page all indicate the desired outcome which is FULL CAPITALISATION. Inspecting the page source shows only 2 refererences to the words 'mixes | features' and 'envisioned disorder' in the page body and both are FULL CAPITALISATION also.

One of my collegues thinks it might be Google's search cache, but I'm just wondering if it might be something else. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Solution :

I am back with updates, confirming that using FULL CAPS on any word (or combination of words) seems to trigger lowercase for all words included in the page title and description. I have since remedied this and after several weeks of trial and error, I now have the correct formatting for all sitelinks:

EDIT:

For clarity/detail:

• Google's desired input is what could just be considered 'standard correct formatting' (i.e First Letter Capitalisation for people, places and wherever else they would normally be required);


• The use of words in FULL CAPS is 'allowed' for regular pages, but I have not been able to create a sitelink that contains even 1 word in CAPS;


• You cannot use FULL CAPS in sitelinks page titles as this triggers all lowercase;


• You can use 1 word CAPS in the pages description/meta data description;


• Sitelinks description snippets are taken from the first paragraph of the body unless otherwise specified (via SEO plugin/extension etc);


• Something else I think is helping here is my sitemap file which has correctly specified priority tags for each of these pages, (i.e the parent page has priority 0.8, the Mixes | Feature page has priority 0.7 and all other pages have priority 0.6);

Timelines:

• [Google Search Cache] Each time I updated the pages to test I also went to webmaster tools and requested re-crawling of the URL's that I had changed, some instances were quicker than others but most ranged from a few days to 2 weeks between updates;


• Sitelinks regularly change between content, the 4 sitelinks visible in this screenshot are not necessarily the same ones that would be seen in a few days or a week's time.

If the issue about google-search, sitelinks, case-sensitive, is resolved, there’s a good chance that your content will get indexed and you’ll start to show up in Google search results. This means a greater chance to drive organic search traffic to your site.
