Editing is a complete evaluation of your work. It includes grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, clutter elimination, style, pace, context, character evaluation, voice consistency, and revision guidance. For most common editing, the rules of the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, will be used. For journalistic editing, the rules of the Associated Press Stylebook will be used.

I have found for general web content that most copy, like articles, web page content, bios, newsletters, and the like, are better served with the Chicago Manual. For short product descriptions, ads, catalogs, flyers, and brochures, AP style is better suited for the shortened and condensed content.

Editing for more traditional types of content will follow the approved style guidelines for the genre. On the other hand, web content is still in progress and no set style has yet been determined overall. Yet.
