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?

The ones that want your clicks are obviously advertisements.

But I see a lot that have nothing to do with clicks, and I think Google is just testing to see if it's irrelevant location... Showing it to a small number of random people and seeing if they click on it.
