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?

Is there any way of disabling them? They've been absolutely cluttering up my navigation lately.

I've tried switching to organic maps, but a lot of stuff won't show up in search.
