Local Optimization for ATM Machine

[kparada]

I was curious if an ATM in a building or its own enclosure can be locally optimized as a branch if it has a physical location, it doesn't seem spammy by any means.If anyone has suggestions or an opinion I would love to hear them.

Hi Kevin,

Interestingly, the Google Places Quality Guidelines (https://support.google.com/places/answer/107528?hl=en)  were recently update to approve the listing of ATM machines. Here is the language:

Business Location: Use a precise, accurate address to describe your business location.

• Do not create a listing or place your pin marker at a location where the business does not physically exist. P.O. Boxes are not considered accurate physical locations.Your business location should be staffed during its stated hours.
  • Exceptions to the above are self-serve businesses such as ATMs or video-rental kiosks. If adding these locations, you should include contact information for customers to get help.

Should be just what you were hoping to hear!
