Are purchased verified listings legit?

Hi,

I am a business owner who is pretty new to local SEO. We have a remote home office and if we relied only on the GMB there we'd be out of business. I heard you can buy verified listings on here and similar places. My questions are:

1) Can people actually do this now? I heard there were huge deletions of these listings recently. Do these methods still work?
2) If so, roughly how are they done? (not expecting anyone to spill the secret sauce in full, but want to know roughly what Im paying for)
3) How long can I expect these listings to stick around?
