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.
