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?

    It makes me absolutely hate Google for this.

    I typed in Indian food, and it doesn’t show the one in my neighborhood with 200 five star reviews until I search for it by name or zoom in all the way.

    How many other restaurants are getting fucked over?
