“PAA: If someone is granted smicha they by definition are entitled to call themselves and/or act as a rabbi. So women with smicha are women rabbis. And are entitled to do what men rabbis can do by virtue of their being a rabbi.”
There isn’t anything that you can do specifically because you have the title of “Rabbi”. There are various things that Rabbis do and some of them have no requirements, some of them have requirements that would only allow certain Rabbis to do them, and some are things that perhaps women cannot do. But that has nothing to do with certifying women as being knowledgeable in Yoreh Deah.
