There is unfortunately only one way for smaller businesses (or any for that matter) to show up, and that is people contributing to osm itself.
Edit: a word.
Excellent point. Maybe I can get back on StreetComplete and help out
Its not about contributing to the map data. There's quite few quality issues with organic maps, from small things in the UI to how it calculates the navigation from A to B. I want to like organic maps, but its still far from usable for me. I do however regularly contribute to OSM - mainly thanks to streetcomplete.
It's still dependent on the quality of map data.
