How Does Google Pick What Businesses to Showcase on Google Maps and It's Icons?

A client had an interesting question that I can't seem to find any info on. When looking at their location on Google Maps, they have the basic marker. Area businesses nearby have custom "category" markers (restaurant, hotel, etc).

​

How does Google decide which nearby establishments to show up on the map? Do they only show certain "categories" of suggested businesses? Is there a way to replace the "default" marker on maps and more importantly, is there a way to optimize this so your business becomes a "suggested" business, outside of normal local SEO best practices?
