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?
I was getting so many spam calls I took my phone number off my Google business profile. I make custom stuff and only locally. All by word of mouth. People still found me but it was a hassle for other businesses who would get calls looking for my number. So I wrote my number on a piece of paper and posted the picture on my profile. It's like a "prove you're not a robot" test.
