    The advanced features of the platform include:

    Local Visibility Pro: Small businesses can increase their online visibility by submitting their business information to over 100 search engines and directories
    Reputation Management Pro: Users get more comprehensive data, plus the ability to track their competitors, receive email alerts, and share positive customer comments via social channels or email
    Integrated campaign tracking: Small businesses can also attract new customers by taking advantage of marketing services from featured, best-in-class third party marketing vendors, including Constant Contact and OrangeSoda, and display and monitor results from campaigns with those vendors from within the Yahoo! Marketing Dashboard

    Shannon Parker Hane, Director of Product Marketing, Yahoo! Small Business, states, “We created the Yahoo! Marketing Dashboard to help small business owners who feel overwhelmed by online marketing options and monitoring a wide range of sites and social networks to keep up with customer feedback. Now, within a single tool customers can conveniently evaluate their marketing options, campaign results and online reputation without having to search across the Web for information.”

    The new Yahoo! Marketing Dashboard compliments the recently released Yahoo! Small Business Advisor platform, adding to Yahoo’s set of tools that help small businesses grow.
