When small businesses show up on your Google map when you are navigating somewhere else...? (i.imgur.com)

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?

It makes me absolutely hate Google for this.

I typed in Indian food, and it doesn't show the one in my neighborhood with 200 five star reviews until I search for it by name or zoom in all the way.

How many other restaurants are getting fucked over?

It's a pay to show thing, also probably tiers to be in higher levels that show like in op post
