Google Maps's heuristics for displaying POIs are nothing short of bizarre. I've seen it decide that weed dispensaries are the most important thing to display in an entire city. It's also really aggressive about displaying home businesses on the map, even if they aren't open to the public.
Does anyone know for sure if there is a way to pay to get your business to show up? It seems so unnatural it must be an advert. While zoomed out on my city it just shows icons for hospitals and pizza hut.
