You have to register your business page. It's not automatic. I believe op here meant a Google business listing which was created by the owner explicitly, but not updated.

It's not? Interesting. Literally hundreds of business listings popped up in Google Maps overnight, a few months ago, which appear very much scraped out of some registry - name, category, address, nothing else. Similarly with the """"place names"""" that seem to be based on people's personal remarks, and about as inaccurate.
Google map entries are connected to, but not the same as business entries. https://www.google.com.au/business/
Once you claim your business location, most submitted changes should come to you for review. (There may be exceptions, I'm not an expert here)
