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?

Those are indeed ads.

I believe the business pays per click. I've seen (edit) only one estimate for the cost, claiming $2 to $6 per click. (https://www.shopify.com/retail/google-maps-ads)

(I previously had mentioned a second estimate but that was for regular ads)
