OVERVIEW
The free Yahoo! Marketing Dashboard serves as the command center for monitoring and analyzing your marketing efforts, building your reputation, and discovering new opportunities. On a single page you can view:
- Business listings - Find out how many search engines and directories include your business and discover new listing opportunities you may be missing.
- Online business reputation - Learn what customers are saying about you across the Web, so you can be responsive to their needs and provide better customer service.
- Web site traffic - Discover how many people are visiting your site and where they are coming from by viewing Yahoo! Web Hosting, Yahoo! Merchant Solutions, or Google Analytics site traffic reports.
- Marketing campaigns - Track key metrics from email marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), and pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, so you know what is working.
- Online sales - Know how your daily sales are doing with order and revenue reporting from your Yahoo! Merchant Solutions online store1.
- Marketing ideas - Learn about new marketing approaches and leading marketing service providers who can help your business grow.
The Marketing Dashboard is specifically designed for small business owners, not marketing experts. Content is presented through colorful charts and graphs so you can quickly and easily get the information you need to grow your business. Short how-to videos and a practical “to-do” list help guide you as you use the Marketing Dashboard.

LOCAL VISIBILITY
Local Visibility is a free Dashboard service that scours over 100 search engines and directories, like Google, Yelp, YP.com, and Citysearch, to show you where your business is listed online. More importantly, it identifies which listings may have inaccurate information that could prevent new customers from finding you.
Local Visibility also helps you increase your online exposure and attract new business by identifying additional sites where you can list your business and by including you in the popular Yahoo! Local directory2.
With a paid upgrade to Local Visibility Pro, you can easily submit your business information in bulk to over 100 search engines and directories. This saves you administrative time and puts your up-to-date information in front of your customers.
