Apple Maps Icon

I have registered my business and have gone through all of those steps. It will pull up when searching the name of the business fine but doesn't have an icon if you are just looking around the area. How do I get an icon or a point of interest to automatically populate on the area map? Any help would be appreciated!

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
