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?
Did you search for them at some point? In my experience you have both random stuff popping up and past searches hits. I suspect the absolute random stuff ro be related to advertising.
The squares with rounded edges are definitely ads.
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.
A squircle.
I have absolutely never needed a licensed clinical social worker, and I've never heard of Kaley Lesham.
I agree, but it's also targeted I think. It won't pop up for everyone.
