When you perform a Google search for a local product or service, you will more than likely see the ‘Map Pack’ towards the top of the results. Only paid ads will be shown above the three listings displayed inside the map pack.

If you have optimized your website to rank on the first page for search queries relevant to your business, you can very well hold 2 of the precious spots on the first page of Google. Your Google My Business is a completely separate thing from your website! You should have both! Having a professional website that reflects the information within your GMB will greatly increase the frequency and accuracy of when your various web properties are shown in the search results.
