When small businesses show up on your Google map when you are navigating somewhere else...?

How do they do it and how much does someone pay to get their name/business to show up on Google maps when a random googler is navigating to an entirely unrelated destination?
I suspected so much but in my case those were absolutely unrelated to me unless the ads criteria was basically “human living 20km around city X”… which would be quite stupid to spend on to advertise one’s business.
