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?

Better then when the business won't show up on maps, unless you type the name in. There are a ton of businesses that even if I zoom all the way in on that business it will not show the name of the business. But if I type the name in it will show in the correct place. It's annoying as hell. I know there is a certain business there. I can see the building in maps. I just can't remember the exact name. I need the phone number to know if they have a part or an item. Have never been able to figure out why Google maps and Apple maps does this crazy stuff.
