How long does verification take?

It depends on Google and the method it offers you; sometimes it takes days. See the official Google help.

Why doesn't my business come up first?

Google ranks the map by relevance, distance and prominence (Google help 7091). You can't change the distance; the other two you can: the checklist above shows which one you're missing.

Should I reply to bad reviews?

Yes: keep it short, calm, and offer a solution. People who read reviews also see how you reply.

Can I pay to come up first?

You can show up at the top with ads, marked «Sponsored»; the map's regular order can't be bought. Ads on Google and Instagram: from S/ 400 per month + your ad budget.
